How am I feeling? I'm doing fairly well. I am still having very slight bouts of nausea, but they're manageable. I've been feeling stiff and really need to start doing some yoga or at least some regular stretching. The Cold is still lingering a bit in the form of some snot and coughing in the mornings and evenings. I'm still exhausted--I fell asleep at 7:30 on Friday night, woke up long enough to move upstairs, and slept until Baby Girl woke at 6:30. And I was still tired.
Weight thoughts: I weighed myself the other morning and found I'd gained about 4 pounds in 2 weeks--up a total of 12 pounds. I'm not happy, but it's not a huge deal and not hugely unsurprised. Most healthy foods give me insane gas (which leads to major gas pains when you can't regularly release the gas....), so I've been avoiding them generally. That leave me a lot of junk and junk doesn't tend to keep a person full for long, so I eat even more.
Doctor appointments? Anxiously anticipating our big ultrasound in less than 2 weeks on Friday, December 2nd!
Maternity clothes? Oh hell yes. I have been wearing maternity pants full time for the last few days. I just love the comfort of them and am happy to discover that my pants from last time still fit fairly well. I still don't *need* them, but I'm wearing them. Now I just need to get some more long-sleeved shirts.
Movement? I think so. It's really faint, but I think I'm feeling some bumps and bubbles in there. It's comforting, but I don't feel it consistently enough to freak when I don't feel it. Hoping to feel more soon, of course, but not holding my breath because of the anterior placenta.
Baby preparation? Nothing major recently. We got the bedding and a couple of accessories for Baby Girl's big girl room this weekend. We'll kick into high gear once we know this baby's gender, I think.
