How big is baby? I'm going with sweets this time so about the size of a rainbow sprinkle.
Total weight gain/loss? My starting weight is 60.8 kg which annoyingly is about what I weighed at 26 weeks pregnant last time so I'm expecting to be much bigger this time.
Waist? 30 inches - again annoyingly this is where I was at when I hit 20 weeks last time so I'm starting on the back foot.
Stretchmarks? None yet - I'll be getting some Palmer's Cocoa Tummy Butter which I used nightly last time.
Maternity clothes? I didn't really buy much last time but I'm still wearing the leggings I bought!
Sleep? I'm absolutely exhausted! I've not been sleeping very well with restless legs and nightmares but also Oscar has been getting up really early - today it was 2:52. Needless to say I'm feeling pretty shattered already.
Best moment this week? Finding out we are going to get to complete our family.
Movement? Nothing yet, way too early.
Food cravings? Nothing so far, I'm mostly just flitting between starving and having no appetite.
Food aversions? Nothing.
Gender? If we had to guess we would say a boy given our family history etc. However we will be finding out this time.
Labour signs? Hope not!
Pregnancy symptoms? I've been trying hard not to look for these but I've had a few. I'm very fatigued which could also be due to the lack of sleep. I also had an episode of lightning crotch earlier and have been having incredibly vivid dreams and restless legs for the last week. They could all just be related to the progesterone I'm taking but now I know that my HCG has also soared!
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss? Caffeine, being fit going into my precious pregnancy, looking slim, getting to sleep past 4 AM, antihistamines.
What I am looking forward to? Being able to finally start planning for our future!
Upcoming appointments/scans? I have a scan at the clinic in Sheffield on 1 November (6 weeks 3 days).
Weekly wisdom? Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change those I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Milestones? Actually being pregnant!
Bump Picture:
Definitely bigger than I started off last time but I'll keep going with Serenity rather than berating myself for not being in better shape.
