I wish I could say it was going so fast. But, I'm not there yet. I think because I am soooo eager to find out boy or girl, so it is inching to March 7.
Weight: still hovering right around 170, depending on the time of day. In the morning I tend to be at 169 and at night around 171. I had read somewhere that you should really only be eating about 300 calories more than your normal diet to meet the "pregnancy" requirements. However, I updated the app I used when dieting (myfitnesspal) to say a half a pound weight gain per week and it says I should be eating 2,000 calories a day! Well, no wonder I haven't gained anything. I am not eating nearly that. My goal is to try to do this without having to resort to eating crap and empty calories. The biggest thing I need to do is start upping my protein.
Waist Line: Still right around 40 inches.
Symptoms: Same symptoms as last week are still hanging around. Migraines stink. Still congested. Sleeping isn't fun. I mentioned last week that eventually I wouldn't be able to sleep on my back. Well, it came on a lot quicker than I expected! One day this week I was sleeping and ended up on my back and when I woke up in the middle of the night part of one of my legs was asleep. So, I guess no more turning onto my back in the middle of the night. The other new symptom is acid reflux. This is a classic pregnancy symptom, so I knew it would kick in eventually. Right now its really mild, no heartburn really associated with it. I can just sort of feel it in my throat. But, I suspect this will just get worse as time goes on.
Picture: I actually think I look less pregnant than last week. It could be that my bloating is going down slightly, who knows.
