How far along? 20 Weeks
Gender: Boy
Total weight gain/loss: 15 lbs and holding…
Maternity clothes? Yes. Well. The thing is, I was hesitant to put on a pair of maternity jeans that I acquired from my sister (they’re still pretty big on my belly!) but I put those bad boys on and OH MY GOD. Why wasn’t I wearing maternity pants before?! I could sleep in these things. So, twenty weeks down and maternity jeans are my new besties. Now, I just have to find some super cute pairs…any mamas know of some cute distressed maternity jeans (that make bums look cute and not flat & dumpy–what is the deal with maternity jeans doing that?!)?
Stretch marks? Nope. But holy shit, I had a serious scare this week. I was in the shower and I looked down and nearly lost my shit…until I realized I had slept funny and my underwear was too tight–I almost cried. I was thisclose.
Sleep: Sleep is good but I am waking up a lot to run to the bathroom AND to lay awake. I kinda have preggo insomnia around 12-2am…so annoying. At least I have Pinterest on my phone.
Best moment this week: I have been coming home every night to my handsome husband cooking up a feast. Best moment(s) this week are the simple pleasures. I come home after a long day, I’m freezing cold and hating public transit (I need to conquer my fear of our standard car!!), and my sweet hubs has dinner made and we sit and enjoy time together. We’ve been re-watching Mad Men before bed and it’s been relaxing and lovely. Oh, and baby boy is growing up a storm and I`m being congratulated daily on my pregnancy. Yay.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Not feeling like a stuffed sausage in my winter jacket. It is HELLA-cold here in Toronto, so layers are a must. I feel so stuffed sausage-y always!
Movement: Not too much is happening yet but I am getting so excited for his little kicks and jabs. I think the next two weeks are going to be really interesting–I`m excited.
Food cravings: Milk. Balkan-style plain yogurt–it is so sour and yum. Frozen blueberries. Mexican Food. Cottage Cheese. Fruit. Realfruit Strawberry and Kiwi Popsicles. Mini eggs (duhhhh). Anddddd Le Dolci cupcakes (so sad my sweet tooth is rearing it`s ugly head).
Have you started to show yet: Hell to the yes.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!
Looking forward to: Shopping for Baby Boy`s nursery and my sweet niece Aria`s 1st birthday next weekend!!
This week has been bananas (AND BABY BOY IS THE SIZE OF A BANANA! coincidence?!) and most of my evenings have been busy with a bit of tidying up the nursery, cleaning up around the house, and lounging. On Tuesday, I literally ate dinner, sat on the couch, and fell asleep. I was sleeping at 7:30pm–out cold. I slept for 12 hours. It was incredible. Growing a human is tiring work (but oh so special!).
If you follow me on IG, you`ll notice I have been posting a few sweet treats (drool!):
Next weekend we`re heading to Ottawa to celebrate my favourite little munchkin`s first birthday! I can`t believe Aria is going to be ONE–guaranteed I am going to bawl and just snuggle her silly. I am so proud of the little lady she has grown into. Plus, she`s so freakin adorable. I`m on the hunt for some amazing bath crayons and a few sweet bath toys. Oh, and a dozen few cute outfits obviously!
I hope y`all had a lovely week!
XO
