Ice Cream, SVU, and 21 Weeks!

So, I’m gonna be real with you for a second.

This is basically what I did for 99% of the week:

ice cream and law and order SVUYes, eat ice cream sundaes and watch SVU on Netflix.

That’s what you do when you’re sick. Right? Right. So, that’s basically the highlight of my week.

What about you?

still being molly spring maternity style: belted mint green oxford, maternity jeans, converseHow far along: 21 weeks
How big is baby: 10 inches and about 12 ounces – spaghetti squash.
Weight gain: About 12-13 pounds so far.
Sleeping: Not great.
Food cravings: Honestly, this week it’s been all over the place since I was sick. Pretty much ice cream was all I wanted because it felt so good on my throat.
Food aversions: Japanese food. Still.
Symptoms: It’s been hard to tell since I was sick on top of everything else, but I can say that my nausea has finally started to subside. Thank God.
Doctor’s appointment: My 22 week checkup is next week!
Wedding Rings: Still on!
Movement: Still no real “KICKS” yet – as the doctor said it may be a little while longer before I can feel them, but I am definitely feeling some movement… the “flutters,” if you will.
Best moment of the week: Getting over being sick! Huzzah!
What I’m looking forward to: Kicks. Real baby kicks!
What I did / Got for baby: I’m trying to get myself more organized in the “planning” aspect of all of this. I’m finding myself doing a little bit of slacking in that area. OOOO and I bought some canvas deals on Living Social so I can get some more canvases printed for the nursery. That’s always fun!
What I learned this week: The baby can hiccup! And the baby does so as a means to practice breathing. Crazy!
Prayer requests: Sleep! AND, I’m seeing that April is going to be a busy month – there’s something going on EVERY weekend and so I’m praying that I can get through all of it and do everything that needs to be done to the best of my ability!

  10. Glad you feel better 🙂 Ice cream is a good cure..

    With my first child I was working in outdoor education taking kids groups mountaineering, canoeing, some white water stuff, caving, etc, ( you get the picture). I was working 12-14 hour days doing really hard physical stuff. The point of the story – it’s amazing how our bodies work. We are completely suited for this, some may even say it’s our purpose. I can remember saying what you wrote above, praying that i can get through it to the best of my ability – I love these posts, they remind me what it was like to carry Jonah. 🙂
