Baby's Size: Baby is the size of a sweet potato and is approximately 5 1/2" long and weighs 7 ounces. Baby is busy flexing his or her legs and arms.
Sleep: It would be better if Star would quit waking up 1-6 times a night asking for her pacifier. I'm feeling better than I was the last couple of weeks though.
Movement?: Feeling more little kicks every day!
Food Cravings: Right now, I want to put tomatoes in and on everything I eat.
Things That Make Me Queasy: No matter what time I eat at night, how early or late I go to bed or what I eat, I've been really nauseous at night to the point of throwing up.
Gender: No idea! Even though Princess has accurately predicted 6 out of 6 pregnancies in my family at early stages in the pregnancy, I can't get a prediction out of her this time. I can't even get her to tell me if she's hoping for another sister or another brother. We have an ultrasound this Thursday, but I'm just 18 weeks so we may not be able to see what we're having yet. We may keep it a secret this time even if we do find out thought.
Labor Signs: Small braxton-hicks contractions are starting. They just feel like a slight tightening in my abdomen so nothing painful yet.
Symptoms: Heartburn has been pretty bad this week and taking Tums right before I go to bed isn't going well since I'm so nauseous at night.
Mood Most Of The Time: Overly emotional about everything. Today has been hard since Hubby's grandpa passed away this morning. The worst part was telling Princess when she got home from school. She took it pretty hard and has been crying quite a bit today.
Looking Forward To: My ultrasound on October 3rd!
Miscellaneous: Sorry, no picture this week! I spent 20 minutes trying and trying to get a halfway decent/nonblurry/not crooked picture in the mirror today and just couldn't pull it off. Give me a week to recover and I'll try again for the 19 week update :)
I'm so sorry about grandpa :( Saying a prayer for you guys!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We appreciate it.
DeleteSaw your blog on Baby Making Machine. Sorry to hear about your husband's grandpa. Heartburn and nausea were the worst for me with both of my pregnancies. Staying up late running back and forth from the bathroom was no problem the first time around because I could sleep during the day. With my second pregnancy my lack of sleep due vomiting and sharp heartburn pains was a problem because I had a two year to potty train and keep up with during the day.
ReplyDeleteThere truly was no sleep for the weary.
The first pregnancy is definitely the easiest one because you're only taking care of yourself!
