Maternity clothes? Yes for everything, no normal t-shirts fit me anymore, they are all too shor and ride up over my belly:)
Stretchmarks? Still not yet. But my veins are standing out more especially because I have a milky moonlight tan... I could glow in the dark!
Symptoms: Still feeling generally pretty good but I do notice that if I do too much I tire out very quickly. I decided to deep clean the kitchen last weekend, and it made me so tired for the rest of the week. Other than that, I have leg cramps from time to time, but I read that this happends when you are on your feet too much (which was the case this past week between cleanin, shopping and a last minute trip to France for work)
Sleep: Better, I have to careful to not fall asleep on the lounge as I wake up with a very sore back...
Miss Anything? Not being able to do everything I want without tiring myself out too much. We are planning a surprise party for Marc's best friend this weekend, and having to spread all the prep over the whole week means I have no time to myself. I miss just getting everything done all in one go! (but know I can't or I wont even last 1 hour at the party because I will be so tired)
Movement: Still alot! Some days are quiter than others - normally after a particularly active day the day before - I guess the baby gets tired too:) Best moment this week: Seeing how the baby can react to us already - it felt like it was playing with Marc when he was rubbing my belly the other night:) Maybe that is just wishful new parent thinking, but it is a nice thought anyway! We have also started getting prices for redoing the office for the baby room. Of course, we are trying to do things on a budget, but we are both really excited to create a nice space for the baby to come home too...
Food cravings: Nothing really this week... Its been a lazy cooking week actually!I wish I could have eaten some of the raw cake batter from the 84 cupcakes I made... (literally 84 cupcakes!!!) Anything making you queasy or sick: I ate spaghetti and meatballs last week when Marc's parents came over for dinner - I think I am over the tomato sauce stage. Funny story: Marc's brother didnt understand why I couldnt eat tomato sauce and told a family friend that in Australia pregnant women cant eat tomatoes! I must explain these aversions more clearly next time, or Belgians might get some funny ideas about Australian mums-to-be... Belly Button in or out? Shallower again...
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time according to me... Marc might say moody hehe What can I say? Sometimes the hormones get the better of me?
Looking forward to: Making it to the 6 month mark so I know Ive only got 3 months until I meet our baby:)In the short term, finishing my current project at work so I can have a bit more free time and relax a bit more too...
