How far along? 20.5 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: -5 (I've gained 2 pounds)

Sleep: Sleep mainly on my left side/stomach :)

Best moment this week: Judd feeling the baby kick :)

Miss Anything? Having energy

Movement: Everyday now!

Food cravings:  Peaches, cheese pizza, bean and cheese burritoes, spinach salad with walnuts and blueberries, spinach and cheese hot pockets, lemonade, OJ and ice water.

Have you started to show yet: Uh huh!  People who didn't know I was pregnant are now commenting.

Looking forward to: A week without an ER trip for fluids! The only good thing about these ER trips are the ultrasounds and heartbeat checks (baby is measuring a 1.5 weeks ahead of predicted due date - shows July 23rd).


Dr. Appointment update: Next appointment is March 27th to find out gender :)

Here comes 18

How far along? almost 18 weeks (17 weeks and 5 days)

Total weight gain/loss: -7 (I've gained 3 pounds)

Maternity clothes? Just moved into the maternity jeans Karel sent.  The smalls from Old Navy look like I am trying to wear 3 sizes too big.  Hopefully, they will fit one day.  I plan on making a trip at the end of next week to Old Navy in Salina to try on their x-smalls.

Sleep: I wake up once between 2 and 4am for a drink and bathroom trip

Best moment this week: Eating 1 tsp of meat!  I had a small piece of lasagna, and was able to try the meat!  I also discovered I can eat cheese pizza :)

Miss Anything? Being able have the energy to joke with my students.  I am too tired to be any fun :( 

Movement: Yep - some head butting in the middle of the night woke me up a few days ago.  

Food cravings:  Egg sandwiches, cheese pizza, Squirt, Root Beer, Vanilla Chai tea, my instant decaf coffee mix, Nutragrain bars, nothing sweet this week outside of the soda, pasta and peas.

Have you started to show yet: Yep.  One of my students said I was starting to get fat :)  I took this as a compliment, as that means I am finally gaining weight.

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move more.


Dr. Appointment update: Staying on Zofran to control puking (only puking every 3 or 4 days now, but still on 3 Zofran a day), added Colace to my meds.  Next appointment is March 7th.  A dentist appointment this week, on March 1st.

16 weeks and counting

How far along? 16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: -10 (I've gained 1.5 pounds)

Maternity clothes? NO WAY - I am wearing a size smaller - only 4 pairs of pants and 2 skirts I kept if I ever "got too skinny" again.  It's sad that they fit!

Sleep: For the most part I sleep almost 10 hours a night :)

Best moment this week: Being able to eat some foods again, and being able to finally drink water!

Miss Anything? My wardrobe - it's hard having a closet full of pants that are now TOO BIG to wear.

Movement: Nope 

Food cravings:  Chocolate fudge poptarts, water, Golden Grahams with Soy milk, egg sandwiches on toast with Miracle whip, lettuce with ranch, pasta salad, Wrigley's Doublement gum, blueberry NutraGrain bars, caffeine free coffee mix, Chai team mix (but I only have it once a week), banana-nut bread, salty kettle chips

Have you started to show yet: Yep, as my DH said when I was complaining that I lost my cute butt, "No you didn't.  It just moved to the front!"

Looking forward to: Gaining weight!


Dr. Appointment update: Staying on Zofran to control puking (only puking every 3 or 4 days now, but still on at least 2 Zofran a day), heard heartbeat (155), and gender ultrasound is March 27th.

14 weeks - it's OFFICIAL

How far along? 14 weeks - the news is out!

Total weight gain/loss: -13 pounds to start the week / now I am only -11.5

Maternity clothes? uh - NO - dropped too much weight and all my regular clothes are really baggy.

Sleep: Yes please!  I only wake up once at night, and have been sleeping with a pillow between my knees

Best moment this week: Not throwing up!!!  The hyperemesis seems to have let up a little thanks to Wrigley's gum and unsweetened iced tea! Still on Zofran (tried to come off of it, and failed!) 


And of course, finding out my nephew, Christian Sterling Yokley, was born :)

Miss Anything? Being able to taste food!

Movement: I felt a little a few weeks ago (just some slight flutters after I had been lying down for a few hours - haven't really felt anything since that day.)

Food cravings:  Can't really say I have cravings, but here is what is new in my main diet: (this week): Unsweetened Iced Tea, Tator Tots, Snickers, gum, Nutra-Grain bars, tomato soup, and mini tostados (prior weeks): Chocolate Ensure, grilled cheese from Sonic, Lemon-Lime slushies, Green Beans, Cinnamon Rolls, pickles, chocolate pudding, fruit popcicles,  pears.  Since I can't really eat much, foods move from good to gross sounding rather quickly.  What works one week, absolutely grosses me out the next.  

Have you started to show yet: Yep (see picture)

Looking forward to: Feeling better, having more energy, and being able to eat again.
