I should be recording more, I’m doing a poor job of it!<\/p>\n
I haven’t written it down anywhere, but I started this pregnancy at around 125lbs (maybe a little less) and I’m right now around 133, depending on the time of day. We’ll see what the doctor’s scale says next week, it’s usually way higher than mine is at home so they think I’ve been packing it on. ;)<\/p>\n
People have asked me about cravings, and this one is being weird. With Devin I lived off of Cheerios, craved salads, and couldn’t eat chocolate at all. With Kate I wanted sweets and chocolate. With this one… I’m craving not-so-good foods. Pizza and salt and vinegar chips recently. I’m eating a lot of cookies (oops). I’m eating chocolate, but it’s not my favorite things in the world. But then when I go out to eat I’m loving on the salads (just not at home). So basically it’s in between both pregnancies.<\/p>\n
I’m feeling really pretty good right now. No real physical complaints, the nausea still sticks around when I don’t eat enough or eat too much, but mostly I’m great. No aches or pains, except the random ligament tweak when I reach for something too fast in the wrong direction. I am starting to get random, mild foot cramps… I expect that will get progressively worse. The belly is definitely feeling heavier this week though… baby must have shifted position.<\/p>\n
I am getting a bit uncomfortable when I’m sleeping though. I’m typically a belly sleeper, though I have one knee up so it’s not flat on my belly. The problem is that I sleep on top of one arm, and that arm is now either uncomfortable against my pelvis bone or it’s pressing into my baby belly. I kept shifting around last night and just could not find the right position. I think sleeping with the body pillow is not far away. I’m trying to hold off as long as I can because I know once I go that route there will be no going back to sleeping on my belly… I’m trying to take it while I can!<\/p>\n
And I’m feeling a ton of movement (well, a ton relatively speaking for 17 weeks pregnant). Every time I sit down at the computer or watching TV or in bed I feel some kicks or rolls, like right as I’m typing this. This week I was finally able to catch some kicks with my hand, I can feel them from the outside – but they’re still so random and infrequent that Den hasn’t been able to get in on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
