gender?: #babypunch2.0 is a boy – confirmed!
cravings/aversions?: nothing on either end, other than my real intense craving for a cheesedog the other morning [like, 9am]. i have noticed that i’m not craving sweets as much as i did with logan, but that’s also not stopping me from eating them. hopefully that’ll change after the holidays are over 🙂
maternity clothes?: yes! on the lookout now for a pair or two of really good maternity pants/denim i can wear to work. h&m has covered me on some of these, but i needs some that just fit really well.
workouts?: still walking, but not as religiously. i’ve just been TIRED lately. i have made a point to hit the treadmill everyday, and am hoping to set some strength goals for myself that are attainable for the new year.
weight gain?: 18-20 pounds, depending on the day. the holidays didn’t exactly help here, but the ultrasound showed a healthy baby, which is what really matters. that being said, i swear my joints can feel the extra weight.
emotions?: not sure if it’s pregnancy related, but my fuse is significantly shorter with nearly everyone except logan. that kid can get away with anything she’s so cute!!
any other weird symptoms?: headaches and back/side/leg pain. not exactly “weird” in pregnancy terms, but i don’t remember being this achy with logan. every pregnancy is different i guess!
i can’t tell you what a relief it it is to not only see the little guy [and all of his extremities exactly where they should be!] wiggling around on the ultrasound and then to get the doc’s confirmation that he’s progressing exactly as he should. i actually had a dream the other night about us going in for the actual c-section, and while i don’t remember the specifics, i remember being very calm and just excited, which is how i hope it all goes come may. 🙂 in the meantime, i’m going to try to slow down and enjoy it all.
