How big is baby? The size of a lemon or tomato according to my apps this week, around 8.4 cm and 43 g.
Total weight gain/loss? I'm now 55.3 kg but I did weigh myself this morning after being sick and throwing up a lot of stomach juices - I made up for it with a big carvery for lunch!
Waist? 28 inches - that's 3 inches bigger than when I got pregnant so there's definitely something going on in there!
Stretchmarks? Only the ones that have been there for years.
Maternity clothes? None yet but I'm wearing dresses a lot more as they're more comfortable and living in my leggings or PJs at home.
Sleep? Not bad at all this week, been waking up more feeling uncomfortable and needing to change position but I've soon dropped back off.
Best moment this week? On Saturday we watched the boxing with some friends and someone had brought their 4 month old baby along. ALS was actually interacting with her and making her laugh and it was beautiful to see, I can't wait to see him with our child. He wasn't quite brave enough to hold her but he's certainly less uncomfortable around babies already!
Movement? Nothing yet - hopefully not too long until I start feeling it though.
Food cravings? Nothing in particular this week.
Food aversions? Nothing really.
Gender? Still no idea - I keep changing my mind in my head about what I think it might be.
Labour signs? Definitely not.
Pregnancy symptoms? I was properly sick this morning for the first time since very early on - just after I thought it was subsiding. I'm also pretty constipated - sorry TMI!
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss? Nothing at the moment. I'm really loving and embracing being pregnant and I'm too excited about it to worry what I'm missing.
What I am looking forward to? Tackling the room that's going to be our nursery - on Monday we ordered our cot, mattress and bedding and emptied out the room that's going to be the baby's room. I can't wait for the bedding to arrive so we can go and pick paint colours to match.
Upcoming appointments/scans? I see the Consultant on 15th May, midwife on 17th May and have my next scan on 17th June.
Weekly wisdom? Don't take things to heart! I got a bit upset this week because a few people have said I'm not showing. That in itself didn't bother me but I know I am showing (if only a little). However, being a bit of a fitness freak I've always prided myself on my flat stomach so I was a bit offended that people can't tell the difference between that and now. To anyone who doesn't know me, I don't look pregnant but for those who know me well they should be able to tell!
Milestones? I'm now over a third of the way through pregnancy and we've bought all our "big" items!
Bump picture:
I'm quite constipated and bloated at the moment but there's also a definite bump there! Also, check out my stupidly long spider fingers haha.
