How far along? 28 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: Not up much yet, shockingly. I have a feeling it will all catch up, unfortunately. Lots of birthday celebrations and cake and none of the morning workouts I keep hoping I can start up ...
Maternity clothes? I think we all are aware of my dislike for the maternity wear. I did get a few new, longer shirts and an awesome pair of shorts that I might live in for the next 3 months, but other than that, still hate maternity clothes.
Best moment this week: Felt hiccups for the first time! And buying stuff for Wesley at the consignment sale. I scored a ton of great deals - I think I got 22 pieces of clothing (mostly for him, but a few maternity items for me and two bottoms for Elle) for $47 during their half-price sale. Not too shabby. It was fun to shop for little boy clothes, too, although not very relaxing because Elle was in to any and everything as I shopped.
Symptoms: Mostly just exhaustion, and I guess all things considered that isn't that bad. My melasma is also popping up more prominently, which might be because I was in the sun more on part of our vacation. The weirdest thing about it is that it is around my lips this time, too - mostly just above my lip, but a little bit along the bottom of my lower lip, too. I really am not a fan of the "pregnancy mask."
Movement: I have to admit, it was nice to go to the gym this week and have one of the front-desk workers mention that he hasn't seen me in the mornings for a while. I actually haven't been to the gym all that much lately because I like to workout outside for as long as I can before it just gets too hot, but I definitely slacked off on my pre-work workouts when things got crazy at work last fall and then I got pregnant and ridiculously sick and tired. Hopefully I'll be able to grace the gym with my a.m. presence again in the not-so-distant future.
Food cravings: Eating is not much fun anymore. Almost everything leaves a weird aftertaste. Not cool, food, not cool.
Aversions: Aside from food in general, not much.
Gender? IT'S A BOY!
Sleep: So-so.
What I miss: Enjoying food.
What I am looking forward to: My birthday next week.
Weekly Wisdom: I have nothing.
Milestones: First baby hiccups! And officially second tri!
