Weeks 15-17
Synopsis of last few weeks! I’ve been lazy with my blogging, but not a whole lot has changed recently.
How I feel: AWE-SUM. As in, ohmygosh I didn’t think I’d ever feel this amazing again. I’m tired, a lot, mostly later in the evenings. I think the first tri sleepiness that I never had finally caught up with me. The nausea really decreased in weeks 15/16, and I’ve felt none at all since last week. It’s incredible. Cravings: All the SOUP. Soup everything. Especially tomato soup. Amazing. Aversions: Nothing specific, even my greasy food aversion is lessened (but I don’t really like greasy food to begin with, so..) Bump: A work friend commented last week that I was starting to finally show. Tight shirts = baby bump. Loose shirts = too much pizza for dinner the night before. Side notes: I feel human again (YAY), but my mood swings have been a little back and forth the past week. Nothing extreme, but definitely more than since I’ve been off birth control (a year ago). I went kayaking and swimming this past weekend, which was absolutely glorious. I will be swimming ALLL summer. #true story
Weight gain: Staying the same at 4lb. I gained 4 initially (thanks, bloat), and never really seemed to go any further than that. I’m a bit overweight to begin with, so my midwives want me to be in the 15-25lb range. So not gaining a lot is a good thing.
