Stretch marks: None that I've noticed
Best moment of the week: Actually 3 best moments! We had a dr. appointment last Friday and were able to hear the heartbeat again. We also heard lots of swishing, which meant the baby was a movin machine! We also went furniture shopping and it was adorable to see Doug get so excited. I've also felt the baby move even more!
Sleep: Eh, sleep is ok. I love lots of pillows!
Miss anything? Not really. I do miss being able to go out and get a beer on the weekends.
Movement: Some movement. It's the strangest, yet most amazing feeling in the world!
Food Cravings: Same. Anything fruity and tart.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope
Symptoms: A little more indigestion and acid reflux at night.
Gender prediction: It's getting so close but I really have no idea.
Happy or moody most of the time? I seem pretty sensitive, but most of the time, HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!
Looking forward to: 20 week ultrasound and revealing the gender!
Have a great week!
