Lunch: Jersey Mikes regular turkey and provolone sub, salt and vinegar chips and a chocolate chip cookie

The aftermath: 

22 weeks

How Far Along: 22 weeks

Gender: Girl

Weight Gain: Rigjt around 10 lbs, give or take a few id imagine 

Maternity Clothes: Just one pair of maternity jeans and a few stretchy tank tops so far 

Belly Button In or Out: In 

Sleep: Some you're only supposed to sleep on your side my hips have started to go numb in the middle of the night so I've been waking up and having to get comfortable. Id imagine that'll only get worse the bigger I get. 

Best Moment This Week: Jeffrey feeling and seeing Avery move, it's was sheer joy. 

Miss Anything: It's the same as every week, sushi, a nice cold alcoholic libation, eating whatever I want whenever I want and working out. 

Movement: She's very active early in the mornings, but doesn't really have a consistamt "movement schedule" yet. 

Cravings: None, cravings during pregnancy are a lie. 

Looking Forward To: A little trip to San Fran with the boo in August. 

LAMINNAAAAATTTIIOOOONNN

Let me preface with this; it's extremely slow at work today. 

So far I've laminated everything I could think of, including my paper insurance card and social security card. One of which I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have laminated but that point is moot. 

Seriously someone is going to walk into my office and everything's going to be covered in plastic. 

IM SO BOREEEEEDDDD, least it's "Friday". Excited for some noms at tomorrow's BBQ pool party. 

Everyone have a happy and safe 4th. 

21 Weeks

How Far Along: 21 weeks

Weight Gain: 10 lbs so far. Hoping to only gain around 10-15 more, fingers crossed 

Maternity Clothes: So far I have one pair of maternity jeans and some tank tops, I mostly wear yoga pants and in this pic which I took this morning, I'm actually wearing my regular jeans from before I got pregnant. 

Belly Button In or Out: In 

Sleep: Sleeping fine. Got a body pillow but hardly use it. I find myself waking up on my back, which is a little bit concerning since you aren't supposed to sleep on your back. 

Best Moment This Weeks: Getting our crib! 

Miss Anything: A nice cold Strawberita to accompany me at the pool.

Movement: I was feeling lots of little kicks but haven't been lately :( sort of disconcerting. 

Cravings: None really

Looking Forward To: Finishing the registry and getting a book to start reading to Avery while she's still in my tummy, papas idea :) 

Thought process of a hypochondriac...

Sitting peacefully under a tree at work, reading my book, when all of a sudden I feel a pinch on my hand. I look down and see a tiny little black bug. Looks like a caterpillar but who knows. Then this happened.....welcome to my world. 

 

My heart rate is finally going back to normal and it's been 20-39 minutes since I got bit lol. I'm laughing right now, but 10 minutes ago I legitimately considered going to the hospital. FML. 

PS: This is what leads to googling; I now know all kinda of caterpillars in San Diego and which ones are poisonous and why type of reactions they cause. 

PPS: I should charge my phone.....

20 weeks...HALFWAY

I'm two days early but we had our fetal scan / radiology appt today so I wanted to post now. I'm simply, an impatient person. 

Here's a pic of the 20 weeks baby bump. 

I'm feeling great other than extreme heartburn and indigestion. Which, incidentally, is something I battled even before pregnancy. Still sucks, especially when I can't take my medication.  

Little girls name is officially Avery Renee Martin. Her middle name is her grandma and my middle name and her last name is obviously her papas. First name we both just feel in love with. Just like we are falling in love with our little girl more and more everyday. 

Feeling lots of little kicks, hoping that Jeff will start to feel them soon too so we can share this joy together. 

Luckily the butt hole cramps have subsided....for now. YES,that's a real thing, butt hole cramps. A pain id like to pass on ever feeling again. 

No stretch marks yet, but I have started to develop the dark line traveling from the belly button down. Which I'm totally fine with, apart from all the hair that's started to sprout, I look like a hairy blimp. BUT no stretch marks so it's all good. Lol. 

My breasts haven't grown at all....but my ass sure has. Which may be a direct result of all the ice cream I've been eating. I've also developed an obsession with fresh sourdough bread. Pop it in the toaster, slap some butter on it and you get a slice of heaven in your mouth. PIYO will be my best friend after Avery arrives. 

I'm highly disappointed in my lack of exercise thus far throught my pregnancy. I'm becoming extremely lazy. I guess the first step is admitting it, hopefully I can get my butt to the gym more often before I start to get too large. What? Walking my dogs and clumping three flights of stairs to get to my apartment daily doesn't count? Duly noted.

AND for my favorite part, some pics of Avery: 

She was curled up on her knees in downward dog...least one of is is practicing some form of exercise...

Little Avery feet, can't wait to kiss them:

And this one is the top of her nose, her lips and her belly, facing forward (the arrow is pointed towards her lips): 

19 weeks

How Far Along: 19 weeks

Weight Gain: Last time I weighed myself I was 136 that was last week. Start our about 127-130 so around 6 lbs as far as I know. 

Maternity Clothes: Just jeans :)

Belly Button In or Out? In but getting smaller lol 

Sleep: Sleeping just fine! 

Best Moment This Week: Cuddle time with my husband 

Miss Anything: Sushi 

Movement: She likes to squirm around after I eat 

Cravings: I don't think I believe in cravings. I've never truly CRAVED anything. You're just really hungry all the time. 

Looking Forward To: Seeing baby girl on the 24th
