Next OB appointment? 2 weeks away for our big 20 week anatomy scan. As we get closer to this appointment my commitment to not finding out the sex of this baby is starting to wane. I still plan to hold out until birth but the fact that we could know in 2 weeks if we'll have another sweet boy or a baby sister is making me curious! I want to pick a name for this babe. I have a favorite girl name and we have a few boy names we're loving. I think this will be the first time we don't have a name picked out at birth.
Total weight gain/loss? I'm holding at about the same weight gain as last week.
Maternity clothes? In full effect! In case you've missed my self-involved OOTD posts....
Stretch marks? Nothing new this pregnancy.
Sleep? Hard to come by even though I'm exhausted. I just can't make it all night long without tossing and turning.
Best moment last week? Hmm, I'm not sure. I've been a bit ho hum this week, so nothing is sticking out. I did really love my yoga class last Friday night and I saw some good friends on Saturday so that was nice.
Movement? Yes! I feel this sweet baby rolling around in there, mainly at night when I'm laying down to sleep.
Food cravings? Tomatoes slow roasted in the oven with a little EVOO. And my mom's coffee cake - I made it this week and ate the whole thing in 3 days. I will refrain from making it again. Oh, and eggs over easy. So far I've had them for lunch yesterday over rice, kale, carrots and onions and in a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner tonight. I'd also say avocados are pretty delicious this week, but that's nothing new.
Food aversions? Nada.
Gender? Green could be for girl or for boy. I don't even have a gut feeling this week.
Labor signs? Nope.
Belly button in/out? In!
What I miss: A really nice glass of wine. And my positive attitude. I've been feeling the pregnancy blues lately and just can't seem to shake the funk.
What I am looking forward to: Going grocery shopping on Saturday to see if we can stay within budget. We were close again this week ($140, so $15 over budget) but we bought a few different spices, a bottle of EVOO and some other pantry-staples. But then I had to go buy diapers so the last two weeks of the month will be difficult to keep the whole month on the $500 grocery budget. This is definitely a work in progress! But I have really enjoyed all our homecooked meals this week!
Milestones: Embracing the maternity wardrobe. My bump thanks me. Oh, and I finally told my boss I was pregnant, so that's done now.
