{Pregnant With Baby #1-Week 22}

Baby is now the size of a spaghetti squash and weighs a whole pound! AWWWWW

How far along? 22 weeks and 3 days

Total weight gain/measurements: I am very sad right now because my doctor told me that my last couple of weeks I have gained too much weight and if I continue at that speed I will go over the limit. I'm very very sad, but I know it's my own fault.

Maternity clothes: It's a mix of both maternity and normal clothes :)

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: I have such vivid dreams so I feel exhausted

Best moment this week: I am finally feeling a little bit better after getting completely wiped out last week with the cold or flu or whatever it was.

Miss anything? Still miss my sleep, I don't understand it, I thought during the second trimester I wouldn't be so tired but I am.

Movement: The baby is kicking a lot especially after I eat. It feels like he or she is doing somersaults in my belly, cutie pie :)

Food cravings: Nachos (explains my weight gain)

Anything making you queasy or sick? I threw up my prenatal's a couple times again :(

Gender: Soon to be revealed

Labor signs: Nope!

Symptoms: No sleep

Itchy belly

Crazy back aches

Leg cramps every night

Fatigue

Baby kicking

Belly button in or out? In 

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy because I am feeling a ton better compared to last week

Looking forward to: The weekend, like always hehe, and also revealing the gender to our friends and family!!

{Pregnant With Baby #1-Week 21}

Baby is the size of a carrot and weighs about 12 ounces. 

How far along? 21 weeks and 3 days

Total weight gain/measurements: I have gained 13 pounds since pre-pregnancy.

Maternity clothes: I still wear normal clothes, but I do enjoy my maternity clothes more because they are oh so comfy! But what I enjoy most is my husbands sweat pants :)

Stretch marks? No stretch marks.

Sleep: Horrible :(

Best moment this week: I got sick on Sunday so I have been downright miserable for the past couple of days especially since I can't take any medication or anything. If anyone knows how to treat cold/flu during pregnancy, please let me know!

Miss anything? My health, my sleep, feeling normal

Movement: I felt a real huge kick on Saturday which started of a series of kicks. I was laying on my tummy and I guess the baby did not like it at all because it kicked so hard and startled me. So cute!

Food cravings: I have been craving cereal lately, especially frosted flakes, mmmmmm yummy (although it's super weird since I used to absolutely hate cereal).

Anything making you queasy or sick? No not really

Gender: Don't know yet

Labor signs: Nope!

Symptoms: No sleep

Itchy belly

Crazy back aches

Leg cramps every night

{Pregnant with Baby #1-Week 20}

Baby is the size of a banana

How far along? 20 weeks and 3 days

Total weight gain/measurements: In total I have gained 11 pounds now. I'm scared to see numbers that I've never seen on my scale, but have to remind myself that I am growing the most precious human being inside of me.

Maternity clothes: I guess hitting that half-way there mark has made me grow a lot because I had to take out the pregnancy clothes that my wonderful sister in law gave me.

Stretch marks? No not that I see any, but I can feel my tummy stretching.

Sleep: Still no good, I wish I could find something to help me sleep better

Best moment this week: Easter Sunday was awesome!

Miss anything? My sleep

Movement: I am not sure if I should be concerned because I don't feel any major movement

Food cravings: I'm back to the watermelon cravings

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not that I can remember

I finally can drink my prenatals thanks to a wonderful girl on Instagram who recommended VitaFusion Prenatal Vitamins!

Gender: I don' know

Labor signs: Nope!

Symptoms: No sleep

Lethargic

Moody

Itchy belly

Belly button in or out? In 

Happy or moody most of the time: It's an in between, one moment I'm moody the next I'm not

Looking forward to: Finding out and revealing the gender!

I have been asked by many people this week if I am "expecting" which makes me happy to know that I finally have something to show as proof of what is going on inside of me. I find it sweet that everyone smiles when they see me and when they ask if I'm pregnant they ask if they can touch my belly. I never knew that random strangers would do such a thing, but it has happened so many times in a matter of a few days.

How far along? 19 weeks and 3 days

Movement: I feel little twinges and I'm pretty sure it's the baby moving, but they are not strong and come rarely

Food cravings: Chocolate and baked goodies (uh-oh!)

Anything making you queasy or sick? This week has been good to me because nothing made me nauseous, except I STILL can't drink my prenatal vitamins because I throw them up immediately after consumption

Mommy Diaries:

Sweet Baby,

I do not know who you are going to be, a girl or a boy, but I already love you so much. My heart is changing and becoming more loving because of you. I cannot wait to find out who you will be so I could spoil you my little one. I am so excited to meet you and see if you look like me or your handsome daddy. I am so curious to know if you will be gentle and kind like your daddy or if you will inherit my personality. I'm sure it will be a mix of both and that makes me so incredibly happy. 

This week you are the size of a mango and only weigh half a pound! You are still oh so tiny! Please baby grow and develop healthy, that is all I pray for, a healthy baby. I love you baby.

                                                                                     With love,

                                                                                     Your Mommy
