You have to wait until the very very end of this post to find out. No skipping ahead, okay?
Baby is the size of a: Mango. I LOVE mango. This is good.
Due date: Sept 3rd, 2016
Total weight gain: Girl idk. I’m gonna guess between the 10-12 lb range. Sometimes I have a belly. Sometimes not though when I haven’t eaten yet and that is super annoying. I am very much in a stage when men are starting to think I’ve just gotten into the Cheetos. It’s so funny, because most of these guys are too scared to ask. And for good reason, I think.
Sleep: Sleep has been a weird sort of thing for me. I’ve been falling asleep ok, but I sort of get up around 3, 3:30 in the morning. A few nights ago, it was a really terrible dream, and I just couldn’t get back to sleep. I’m hoping to get a few hours tonight so I don’t want to curse at all during the day.
Best moment this week: We found out the gender of the baby last Tuesday, and the anatomy scan was great. It was so detailed. I saw everything. The baby’s brain, legs, bones. The baby is pretty together, it just needs to do some growing. It needs to be a little bigger than a mango for me to be able to hold it!
Food cravings: Nah. Whenever I think I really want something to eat, by the time I get it ready, I don’t really want it anymore!
Food aversions: About the same. Nothing super different.
Symptoms: I pee just NONSTOP. And you have to drink water or you’ll feel like shit. But I pee day and night.
Looking forward to: New York this weekend! I am hopping on a plane and starting in New Jersey on Friday to see some family, and then Saturday evening/Sunday I am going to see the folks I group chat with on a daily basis from school. I was gonna drive, but nearly fell asleep driving to DC, and decided to fly up.
So…want to know what we’re having?
