Size of baby: Average = Papaya, Spaghetti squash (WHAT), but the kid has been measuring large for months.
Physical symptoms: Some nausea (some vomiting). Super constipated. Super bloated after eating. Restless legs when I lay down. EXHAUSTED. Insomnia (big time). Super thirsty. Need to pee every 5 seconds. Food aversions. Sore feet and back. Headaches, stuffy nose (allergies!). Irrationally emotional- E found a fun quiz on Buzzfeed or something and asked me to take it. He's a biggg time history buff and it was something like "can you pass a middle school history test?". I got to the 3rd question and was sort of struggling (history's not my subject) and started SOBBING because he was "setting me up for failure" (which he OBVIOUSLY WASN'T DOING!). Poor, poor E. Last but not least, "Pregnancy brain"- I can't remember ANYTHING. This literally happened: I was in the living room and thought of something. I thought to myself, "I should write that down". I immediately walked to the bedroom to type it into my phone's notes app.... and couldn't remember what I was supposed to write down.
Weight gain/loss: 10-15 lbs depending on the day (today it's 10! yusssss)
Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity tops. Non-maternity skirts and larger size nylons still fit. I also have some non maternity dresses that still work.
Stretch marks: Not yet! Possibly the beginnings of some on my left hip.
Sleep: Still exhausted. Restless legs at night are still in full swing, but once in awhile I'm so tired I can fall asleep through it. Super insomniac in full gear. Really helps the mood swings. ;)
Best moment since last week: I bought a pregnancy belly belt thingy and it's been a game changer. It gently lifts my belly and I think I have to pee a little less, my back hurts a little less, and I'm less sore/crampy while out for walks. Seriously.
Also, Shavuos was from Tuesday night until Thursday night and that was fun and exhausting.
Movement: Baby is moving a lot! Usually when I eat or lay down. Sometimes it's really "hard". And it's always riiiiight on the rare occasions that I'm actually about to fall asleep.
Gender: Confirmed!! But Idk if we're going to tell...
Labor signs: Hopefully not anyyytime soon.
Belly button: Innie
What I miss: Sleeping. Mixed drinks. Sushi. Laying on my stomach. Not having a million aches and pains at any given time.... although the massages I'm getting from E are still pretty awesome. Being able to go 20 mins without peeing!
What I am looking forward to: Viability?! Idk. Everything.
