Number of weeks pregnant: 19 weeks
Total weight gain in past 19 weeks: 19 pounds.
Most recent stress out about how something I've eaten or done has hurt the twins: Eating tiramisu (I was worried about the alcohol but it's the eggs that make it a bad idea).
Most recent natural product purchase: Semi-permanent hair dye (no ammonia or peroxide) in week 19 so my hair's back to red.
New pregnancy symptom I've noticed: Must go to the bathroom at least once in the middle of the night and many times during the day (I used to be a camel— but with urine. Often on workdays I'd go before I left the house and again at 4 p.m. or later.)
Other pregnancy symptom: I'm getting slower and slower going up five flights of stairs to our apartment (yes, there's an elevator). My hips and thighs hurt when I sleep on my side too long (from the extra weight?). Also, I sometimes experience light headedness and in one case, blurred vision.
Food cravings: (Don't read this, Mark's family) Bacon and Pineapple. I also bought pickles a few weeks ago (but not because I had some crazy craving for them).
Between cravings for bacon and pineapple, it seems like a Hawaiian pizza would be perfect. However, this looks rather repulsive.
Used thing I'm most excited about: Activity mat and activity seat from co-worker Jenn; maternity clothes from Rachel R and co-workers Jenn, Julia, and Nicole; travel breast pump kit, baby carrier and books from April G (I've been holding onto them for over a year).
In maternity clothing news: Maternity corduroys!
What I've learned: The nutrition class I took at Kaiser that I thought would be a waste of time, wasn't. Daily I try to figure out what food groups I've had during the day and bend my meals and snacks at night to minister to any deficiencies.
I read that you can permanently harm your unborn baby by thinking too much about what foods, chemicals, activities, etc. might harm your unborn baby.
ReplyDeleteRiffing off Brendan, I think I permanently warped my kid by using a headphone splitter and putting a spare set of headphones on my belly. Now she always wants me to put new music on her MP3 player and I overhead her singing an Icicles song the other day.
ReplyDeleteI think Hawaiian pizza is delicious.
