How far along? Almost 22 weeks.
Maternity clothes: Sort of. I have a few items, mostly jeans. Also having to wear specific underwear because nothing else is comfortable. VS has these no-show panties that are perfect and cover everything that needs covering and it's better than maternity underoos. Jeggings are pretty grand right now, I'm pretty much living in leggings otherwise.
Stretch marks? No, thank goodness. Bio-Oil and almond oil are the best.
Sleep: It depends on the day, lately. The insomnia has gotten worse over the past week, but once I'm out I'm out. For whatever reason I find it easier to fall asleep when it's early morning around six or so instead of at a decent time, although naps have become my best friend. No pregnancy pillow yet, I just use one from the couch or use Nic.
Best moment this week: Feeling her move more, she kicks all the time. Nic felt her finally too!
Miss anything? Beer.
Beer.
Movement: Kicking more! I can differentiate between her and normal body things better, she's getting strong in there. It's fucking weird. I'm convinced this is going to turn out like Alien.
Food cravings: So many things. The other night I could not fall asleep because I just wanted a huge fucking stack of pancakes and a breakfast burrito from McDonald's. Right now I desperately want a BLT though.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Pickles. Oh god keep those things away from me unless you want me to hurl. I like them normally but right now? Just the thought of them makes me cringe. Sweet pickles might be okay though. It's just the dill I can't be within a ten foot radius of.
Gender: Indoor plumbing! (Girl, obviously.)
Symptoms: Backaches here and there, no more headaches than usual. Although she's been making me run to the bathroom every half hour needing to pee.
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? And on!
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy, but I have my moments. I like having this energy though.
Looking forward to: Hopefully settling for sure on a name. We changed it again, but I'm really liking this one so we'll see what happens. I need to stay off of name websites though.
