Halfway There
Filed Under Feelings, Paradigm Shifts, Pregnancy Doesn't Suck, Status Updates | 1 Comment
I am utterly amazed at how fast the past 15 weeks have gone. I’m 20 weeks pregnant today, but only found out 15 weeks ago that I was actually pregnant.
Maybe it’s gone so fast because my first trimester was so full of sleeping and throwing up that a) I’ve already blocked out how […]

Filed Under Pregnancy Week-by-Week | Leave a Comment
How your baby’s growing: Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He’s also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom, and about 10 inches from head to heel. (For the first 20 weeks, we use measurements taken from the top of the baby’s head to her bottom — known as the “crown […]

Nearly Halfway There!

The baby is growing, and soon will be an entire pound: he’s still so small! It’s hard to imagine a fully-developed baby inside of me, even though I notice his presence on a daily basis- not only because of the size of my belly, but also because he kicks around a lot. It’s […]

The sunshine seems to have brought out the creeps! Walking downtown today, a skinny white guy without a shirt on, riding a bike, said slowly, “There’s nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman” as he moved his eyes up and down my body.
UGH. I’d be flattered if he wasn’t so creepy!

How your baby’s growing: Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair […]

Colostrum

Holy shit, I started leaking colostrum yesterday. 4.5 months along and it seems like everything’s happened within the past two weeks and outside of them happening more (more belly, more leaking nipples, more indigestion, more sleepless nights, more bathroom trips, more boob growth- I’m at a D now) I’ve got nothing left to look forward […]

Bloody nose has stopped!
Food aversion is basically gone!
Still on Diclectin, but plan to try to go without it at some point this week. Perhaps tonight.
Found a prenatal vitamin that doesn’t make me throw up! PregVit to the rescue! It’s prescription only and costs $37/month. I no longer feel like a terrible mother […]
