Weight gain: Down another 1.2 lbs.
Maternity clothes: I bought the "Not everything stays in Vegas" t-shirt, but I haven't worn it yet. I don't feel as bloated and I don't have a bump yet, so I'm back into skinny jeans.
Gender: Still feeling like Squish is a girl, and have had a few dreams that we had a baby girl. Once again, I have to say that I would be SO happy to have either one and of course these are just guesses. Hubby also thinks it is probably a girl. My Mom thinks it is a boy. Who knows!
Nursery: I have chosen paint colours. Gender neutral isn't always the easiest thing to do, but I think it is going to make for a very classic look. Our finishing carpenter happily came in to help us with crown moulding and a ceiling medallion, so the first few steps are being taken!
Development / Movement: All vital organs are starting to function. Can you believe this all happens when the baby is just about an inch long??
Sleep: Back to napping about 2-3 hours most afternoons. While I am not complaining about my lack of symptoms, this does certainly affect my every day life. Hoping to get some energy back soon.
What I miss: Wine. Unpasteurized cheese. Brie, goat cheese, feta, most of these are out of the question unless I am able to confirm that they're pasteurized. I can do that if I'm buying it from the grocery, but not if I'm at a friend's place. Oysters. Smoked salmon. Poached eggs. Anything that is not fully cooked is off the table for the next 7 months... c'est la vie!
Best moment this week: Our appointment with the new doctor could not have gone better. We have promptly switched and are happy with our choice. He was amazing at reassuring us and making us feel comfortable. Other favourite moments from this week: I had the best facial ever at Skoah. We had a lovely BBQ with our great friends, Renée and Stu on Thursday night. I helped my friend Christie with some birthday décor crafts yesterday, and last night we had a pizza/movie night with Anita and Jeff. Social butterflies! We have broken the news to our very closest friends, who have been sworn to secrecy, of course.
Looking forward to: Breaking the news! Only 2 more weeks or so until we can tell the world. Also looking forward to more facials. My skin has been a little weird lately, and they say it is important to have an even better skin care routine. I think I may schedule monthly facials. I've also ordered some organic skin care products and mineral makeup.
Cravings: Wine (haha). Pizza. Well, I don't know if I'm craving it, but I did have 4 pieces at Anita and Jeff's last night. Yummy.
Symptoms: Funky skin (not cool). Just a few minor breakouts but I don't normally have these issues. Still tired. Huge, sore, swollen boobs (too much info? Sorry - it is a common side effect)!
Workouts: I have a heart rate monitor and am ready to hit the gym. Have been walking lots. I still don't have the energy but am hoping to get it back soon.
