| 20 weeks--It's a boy! |
How far along? 24 weeks. I guess that's 5 months? at least of his actual existence (minus first 2 weeks). though the month thing is actually a touch more confusing than weeks to me.
Total weight gain/loss: about 6 or 7 pounds now :)
Maternity clothes? mm, still fine in most of my old clothes...but contemplating maternity pants soon.
Stretch marks? no?
Best moment lately: it's been fun feeling the little guy move so often these days. and good to start to see the light at the end of our house-tunnel, hehe.
Miss Anything? Artichoke season... hah
Food cravings: well I'd love a good artichoke... but not much else specific
Anything making you queasy or sick: nah. but occasionally my stomach gets nervous when I'm struck with how soon I'll have a baby, and how crazy different life will be!
Have you started to show yet: yep! a home depot worker yesterday was the first stranger to ask me how far along I was when she saw me touch my belly.
Belly Button in or out? shrinking and squinting but still kinda flat
Wedding rings on or off? on. no swelling here so far! :)
Happy or Moody most of the time: in general the whole month of October has been a pretty stressful one and not always that pleasant--the house has been keeping things pretty crazy on top of normal semi-busy life. but so far i think November is looking up.
Weekly Wisdom: Write things down. not just sentimental things, i mean--my little weekly planner is quickly becoming an extension of my brain. Without it i'd wake up most mornings like "Well... I'm sure there was something I was planning to do today." It even helps me remember what I've already done... haha

Weekly Confession: perhaps the strangest thought for me when it comes to adjustment to motherhood is a change in my independence. I won't glorify independence as some great thing like some would, but either way, it does fit me much more than I've thought. I think even from toddlerhood I was perfectly happy to entertain myself much of the time, and despite the fact that I do love being with people, I also enjoy having time just to myself (even "to myself" with others around, if that makes sense), and for the majority of my life I've had quite a bit of it. It's going to be very different having someone both so constantly with me and so dependent on me--I really have had nothing to compare it to thus far (a cat doesn't even come close, haha). I think I will enjoy it--but it will be very new.
Looking forward to: moving in to the new place, nesting, baby showers, and finally meeting the little guy!
