How far along? 24 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: Thanks to a lovely bout of food poisoning, I don't think I gained any this week. Tim and I had some salad on Saturday night ... as I put Elle to bed, I felt awful and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up around midnight and didn't feel better. A few hours later, I had my first puking incident of this pregnancy but felt much better afterward. I wasn't great the next day, but I wasn't awful. Tim, on the other hand, wasn't affected until Sunday morning and then suffered digestive issues for the next two days. I honestly think the baby contributed to the speed with which my body rejected the unsavory food and helped me "recover" faster. I offered to let Tim borrow my pregnancy but he didn't seem interested.
Maternity clothes? Bah. Hate almost all clothes, especially the ones that don't accommodate a long (or wide) torso.
Best moment this week: Cuddles and prayers with Elle Belle. She's in a big girl bed as of last week, so it's easy for me to lay with her for a few minutes after we read books. I know our "routine" and time together is going to change drastically in just a few short months, so I'm treasuring our time together now. Plus it was super emotional for me to pack away the crib, so I'm glad we've got a good experience going with the big girl bed.
Symptoms: I AM AN EMOTIONAL NIGHTMARE. That is all. Well, also some leg cramps.
Movement: Taking advantage of more daylight as much as I can to go to jogs/walks after work with Elle. She has a limit to how much time she'll happily stay in the jogging stroller, but it's usually just enough for me to feel like I cleared my head a bit and got some fresh air.
Food cravings: Easter candy. PB and J sandwiches. Baked Cheetos. Chinese food.
Aversions: The relationship that Baby Boy and I have goes like this: Him: "Oh, you want to eat/drink something that sounds good? HA! I'll make you sorry you did that!" Someone has made it clear who the boss in this pregnancy is ...
Gender? IT'S A BOY!
Sleep: So tired, but it's not because of the baby ... work has been kicking my butt lately and I just have no energy.
What I miss: Having energy to do anything.
What I am looking forward to: Getting some crafts and projects squared away. I've got to kick it in high gear to tag and enter all of my items for the consignment sale, but I'll be so glad when it's done.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't eat salad. It's the devil.
Milestones: Viability, baby!
