Size: A large cabbage. Does anyone notice these vegetables are getting more horrifyingly huge by the week? It's just me?
Weight gained: same - about 11 or so pounds. But they feel like heavy pounds that make getting out of bed seem tricky.
Maternity clothes? Yes, mostly maternity gear.
Looking pregnant to strangers? Yes and no. This appears to be the sort of thing that totally depends on the person who sees you -- I notice that people who are pretty self-focused (for whatever reason) are much less likely to have any clue.
And I also notice that when people notice you are pregnant they feel free to say whatever they wish to you: "Are you planning to breastfeed?" or "What is your birth plan?" or "Do you have a history of depression?" (followed by discussion of post-partum depression). I like the excitement people feel about the cabbage, but it can be a little much.
Sleep: Good! Even with night shifts, I'm able to get good sleep these days. I wake up feeling overheated, which is tough for B because he always wakes up chilly.
Cravings: Had a serious pizza-needing moment. Also craving bananas. Eating lots of smoothies with frozen fruit.
Movement: Aplenty! Maybe even some hiccups.
What's next? Registering! And figuring out what we need.
Best moments this week: Work! And some pretty fabulous naps. And B maybe felt some cabbage-movement last night.
