Today I had my monthly doctor visit to see how Lima Bean is doing, and all went well! We heard the heartbeat again... 160 bpm. I am in the middle of my 15th week, so almost 4 months! My next doctor's appointment will be big, because I'll be half way AND we will find out the sex of the baby :)
In an effort to keep you all abreast on what's happening with my pregnancy, I've created a list that I will update as time goes on.
How far along? 4 months/16 weeks (minus 3 days).
Total weight gain/loss? Gained 8 lbs.
Maternity clothes? A few prego shirts and a belly band (as of today!).
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep? Sleep really well... I love it, actually. I still sleep on my tummy and I relish every moment of it.
Best moment last month? Going home and celebrating with family.
Movement? Not yet.
Food cravings? I like refreshing foods... like apples, strawberries, tomatoes, and lots of goat milk (I don't do any cow dairy for those who didn't know). I also love waffle fries at CFA. As of this week, however, I've committed myself to NO MORE fries.
Gender? Who knows!
Labor signs? Nope.
Belly button in/out? Kinda in and kinda out.
What I miss: Red wine and sushi.
What I am looking forward to: Next month's appointment - Boy or girl??
Most recent baby purchase: Gro-Via cloth diapers - yes, we are going to do cloth diapers! Check out the diapers here. I plan on writing a post on the pros/cons to cloth diapers and why we chose the cloth diaper route.
Milestones: I have to keep my pants unbuttoned all of the time as of this past weekend (does this count as a milestone?).
Lastly, I thought I'd leave you with a somewhat blurry, not so great photo of what Lima Bean is doing in my tummy. I must say I don't particularly care to take photos of myself, but I thought it might be nice for you all to see my progress. I'll try a little harder to get a side view next time.
awww! You look so cute! All of those things are so exciting! Congratulations! Im so happy for yall!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You are an adorable little mommy!! Congratulations!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute, Anne! Can't wait to find out the sex!
ReplyDeleteP.S I love cloth diapers and fully intend to to use them too! =)
Hi Anne! Congratulations!! Motherhood is amazing. I use cloth diapers. I would use them all the time if I was able to stay at home with Clark. The brand you are using looks very nice. I went with a cheaper brand...Kushies and the only thing I don't like about them is that they are bulky. But the ones you are using look a lot leaner. I might give them a try. How are your parents? How are Kate and Joby? -Donna (Adams) Chilton
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that I also make all my baby food. I use a kit called Fresh Baby. I really enjoy it and it doesn't take a lot of time. -Donna
