Week 18
[ No Photo ]I had a really bad week pain wise this week - unrelated to the pregnancy. But I do know, that the night before I would have taken my photo I felt the very first kick! Right as I was falling asleep and it freaked me right out :)
WEEK 19
Craving, Aversions, Moods, Energy, Symptoms +/- : No cravings, still averse to sweet things and chicken, a big smorgasbord of emotions, and missing family. Had my mama down and it helped unbelievably! Energy low & feeling very sick. But not sure what was related to withdrawl from a medication mix-up and what was actual pregnancy related.
Notes: Still had a very, very hard week. I'm off of work until October 2nd. :/ But all my drs & midwives & chiropractor believe it's for the best for me to take care of my health (physical, mental, emotional, etc.) before the baby comes so that I can be the best parent possible, and pass on the healthiest lifestyle possible. So that's what I'm going to do!
Final Decisions made about the house this week too. They changed, again, twice. But seem to be permanently settled now. Less than 2 months before I leave this little house & my best friend & baby brother. <3
WEEK 20
Aversions: chicken still, sweet things. just starting to be able to handle sour &/ chocolate
Moods: worry & tears - haha.
Energy: complete insomnia
+ Symptoms: KICKING! and my skin is clearing up :)
- Symptoms: cramps, cramps, nausea, cramps in all places
Notes: The living situation changed a few more times, but it seems pretty definite now. So THAT. Also, I tried to go to work but the whole fainting and going into work the next day thing didn't work well and I was substantially worse the night afterwards. BUT PLUS SIDE the Dr's think they know what's wrong, so here's hoping the medical stuff at least, gets sorted out this week. && an ultrasound Tuesday. No, we will NOT be finding out the gender!
