18 week pics

29 Apr

I realized that we forgot to go back and add in my earlier pictures, but oh, well. Here are a couple from last night:

Yes, I cropped out my head, I had this super weird smile. Plus, Greg took the pic with me all off-center, so it looked weird anyway. I need to work on my posture, hey? Look how slouchy I am.

This next one is mostly for me. Sorry for my bright green undies flashing out there, but I wanted to document my Lovenox bruises (from the blood thinners I have to inject myself with every day). That massive one on my left side is actually starting to fade a bit, you should’ve seen it last week!

My morning sickness was awful through the first trimester and I’m still having some, which is annoying. Here I am a month and a half into the second trimester and still getting sick when I brush my teeth. What the heck?

As of my appointment last week, I’ve gained 7.5 pounds. I did lose a bit early on from the morning sickness, but I’m definitely on to the gaining part now. I’m pretty much hungry all the time and Greg so far hasn’t catered to my cravings at all. Here’s part of an email I sent him yesterday from work:

    Things I want to eat right now:

  1. A honey glazed donut
  2. A blueberry pie (room temperature)
  3. A hot fudge sundae from DQ
  4. Nachos
    Things I am able to eat right now:

  1. Expired animal crackers
  2. Expired goldfish crackers
  3. A granola bar that got mushed in the bottom of my tote bag a couple of months ago

Did I get any of those things I wanted? No. I ate the smooshed granola bar. Then when I got home from work I ate half a jar of queso dip and chips. :)

Next week we’ll have some cool ultrasound pics! I can’t wait.

    Cute bump ;) Glad you’re beginning to feel better… have a great ultrasound!

    Ugh, I feel ya with the sickness…oral hygiene pretty much went right out the window when I was pregnant with Ellie…it was gross, but the alternative was being sick – no fun. I’ve heard cinnamon tooth paste helps (I never tried, but recently heard from a friend). Oh, and as crazy as buying a house feels now, it’d be even crazier with a newborn (trust me, we did it)…you’ll definitely be glad to be moved in and ready when baby arrives! You look great too! =)
