I wish I was a blogger who would have all of their weekly updates written out before announcing their pregnancy. Must have slipped my mind to do that, so this will be my first baby update!
Baby Updates
Baby is the size of an ear of corn this week!
He or she is 11.4 inches and 1.1 pounds. However, at our last appointment 2 weeks ago, the baby was already a pound! Look out world.
Mommy Updates
The pic above was a week ago and I feel like I have popped much more since then!
Workouts: Still getting up in the morning to do some kind of cardio or weights. On days I don’t get up early to workout, I feel way more exhausted. I try to go to yoga or a sculpt class a few times a week in the evening. I am still running and just taking more walk breaks. I am not supposed to get my heart rate above 150. I have had a little soreness in the bottom of my bump at the end of my run so I make sure to walk if I ever feel that.
Symptoms: Halleluiah 2nd trimester. I feel really good! First semester included a lot of nausea at night and car sickness. Yuck.
Sleep: The snoogle has officially made it into the bed. Ryan is at a bachelor party this weekend so he joked that I wont even notice that he is gone! The pillow is amazing. I don’t know how I will ever sleep without it.
Food Cravings: Anything cheesy or salty. Loving avocados too!
Food Aversions: I no longer can even look at a hard boiled egg. I used to eat them about every day with a salad for lunch. I tried to re-introduce them but I end up gagging in the break room at work so I gave it up. Eggs made any other way are fine. I also went for a little while where I hated hummus. Good thing I that subsided because I hummus rocks.
Baby Items Purchased: Ryan picked up an adorable stuffed giraffe. I picked up a few outfits which were all boys except for one girls outfit. I didn’t realize it until I got home! My sisters then instructed me to buy no more clothes! If this little one is a boy we are set since I have two nephews.
Belly button in/out: It is still in but I think it will be out before I know it.
Rings on/off: On!
Random thoughts: I can’t believe how much attention I get being obviously pregnant! I had a man say “no more beer for you” to me and point to my bump.
