22 weeks

how far along: 22 weeks

weight gain & stretch marks?: i'm going to say +1. no stretch marks (although i thought i found one the other day and i panicked a little)

best moment this week: having a little date night on friday. and getting my favorite drink at caribou for $2 (it's the little things, okay?)

worst moment this week: packing...all day yesterday. ALL. DAY. now we live on the living room floor because we have cleaned out our bedroom.  

miss anything?: i miss not packing.

symptoms & movement: nausea and having to walk slower. i felt some aches and pains this week that are probably just growth related, but i was walking so slowly because it hurt. yes to movement :)

cravings & aversions: craving mexican food (but NOT tacos) and fruit. major aversion to meat still...and tacos.

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: the week of "vacation" i have coming up & getting moved/settled. also my birthday, which is in like 12 days in case you were wondering.

things to add: i'm sure i've got something to add but i probably won't remember until 3 am when i get up to pee. 

21 weeks

how far along: 21 weeks

weight gain & stretch marks?: according to the doc, i am officially back to my starting weight! no stretch marks.

best moment this week: seeing boo at our anatomy scan. everything was looking great and measuring right on track! wahoo!

worst moment this week: packing. that's going to be my answer next week too.

miss anything?: no 

symptoms & movement: waking up in the middle of the night and nausea. boo moves & grooves in there all day long.

cravings & aversions: craving fruit still & hating meat still. kameron bribed me (with dairy queen) tonight to eat 3 bites of chicken with my fettucine. spoiler alert: it worked.

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: getting all of our stuff packed & for kameron's parents to come out and hang out with us for a bit before the move!

things to add: i have a lot to add today- first of all, i will repaint my chalkboard when we move, promise. that ugly pink spot will not go away and only shows up in pictures, so that's convenient. what is my hair doing in this picture? where did that bump come from? i swear it's not that big in real life. and also, sloppiest chalkboard because...carrots are dumb and i'm tired and the fruits/vegetables this week were not lining up from all my apps. pomegranate? carrot? banana? small cantaloupe? whatever.

20 weeks

how far along: 20 weeks...half baked!!

weight gain & stretch marks?: official weight gain will be recorded on friday...my guess is 3 or 4 lbs? no stretch marks.

best moment this week: seeing boo move...we were laying in bed talking about how annoying it is that kameron always seems to just miss feeling kicks & punches, and then there was this weird little ripple across my belly. we kept watching and saw it a few more times and it was so cool!

worst moment this week: starting to pack...i hate packing

miss anything?: nope! 

symptoms & movement: waking up every night at 2 am. soo much movement, especially when "fancy" by iggy azalea comes on. 

cravings & aversions: fruit & cookie dough are the major cravings. still having an aversion to chicken/meat in general.

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: our ultrasound on friday & our 3 year anniversary on wednesday!

things to add: clearly my chalkboard needs a fresh coat of paint. and yes, that is tupac on my shirt.

19 weeks

i realize now that you can't really tell that my headscarf is tied in a bow...so use your imagination.

how far along: 19 weeks

weight gain & stretch marks?: guessing another pound last week...so -2. no stretch marks yet.

best moment this week: spending time with kameron. sometimes i feel like we get so wrapped up in needing to do this and needing to do that, that we don't just relax and enjoy each other's company. on sunday we went and ran a few errands and wound up at one of our favorite hangouts. it was a beautiful day and it was so nice and refreshing to just sit with each other and be together.

worst moment this week: feeling nauseous & waking up multiple times a night to pee/shuffle around/because i am convinced that someone is stealing my new lime tree off the porch

miss anything?: not this week. i am trying not to think about the things i miss, because meeting boo will be soo worth not having a few things for a few months. i've been thinking a lot about that since the calendar rolled to june & my due date for our loss draws nearer. 

symptoms & movement: nausea & waking up multiple times a night

cravings & aversions: still craving fruity things, +1 point if they are cold (like a smoothie!). not even entertaining the thought of meat since puking from one bite of a taco last week. 

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: this month! our move is getting closer & we are both in the antsy stage to get it over with. also, is it too soon to add my birthday here?! :)

things to add: i have woken up the past few nights with what i'm going to refer to as a dead leg...my whole leg feels numb sort of and tired and achy. if i move it enough the feeling goes away, but i don't appreciate it. so if you know what that is or how to get rid of it, help a sista out.
