These weeks are starting to fly! I am definitely starting to show a bit. I will get pictures up soon. Not much has been going on besides baby, and just keeping busy. I started a new sewing project which I am excited about. I am making a baby mat/thick blanket. A little more complicated, so we shall see how this works out. We got another ultrasound of the baby last week and it looked great! It was bouncing around and very active. When it went to sleep, the ultrasound tech bounced on my belly and it woke up. It was a very strange feeling.
I have also started feeling it move (started Sunday afternoon January 28, 14.6 weeks)! At first, it freaked me out, but now, I really enjoy it. I feel like someone is always with me experiencing stuff with me. Although I still find myself reaching down and scratching as it feels like something is tickling my belly!
OK, so here is what's going on,
Symptoms- SINUS migraines. I don't have a stuffy nose, but lots of pressure. My ears sometimes feel full and I just feel blah. This is very common with pregnancy. I am just trying to stay on top of it as my body just "loves" to give me sinusitis. My belly feels tight and stretches and I am sometimes getting out of breath more easily. I can also sometimes feel my heart beat. This is very normal apparently as I am producing more blood. Another very weird thing is I can see more veins. I recently read somewhere that it's because your veins get bigger because the extra blood volume. So interesting to me!! I am drinking more water and trying to keep hydrated as I can definitely tell when I don't drink enough. I start coughing more and my throat feels very dry.
Weight gain- 4 pounds! Very weird knowing that this is all normal and healthy. I mean who wants to gain weight? Lol. But in reality, I am happy my body has finally started gaining.
Cravings- Citrus fruit, salty foods, and fish. Still Asian and Mexican foods.
Overall doing well and feeling great. Pain wise, I am doing very well so that's wonderful!!
