(Dec. 31 through Jan. 6)
Symptoms: Still dealing with what is potentially the worst pregnancy symptom ever. Trying to remember to drink more water and eat more fibre, but ... pregnancy brain! It's a losing battle! Oh, and heartburn. I'm taking a pill once a day now.
Body changes: Big ol' stomach. I've started sort of grunting when I heave myself up sometimes. Super attractive, right?
Belly button: Still a big cavern with a little peaked mountain in the middle. Very weird.
Baby movement: Some more pronounced roll-y type movements. I swear, though, I only notice them when I'm sitting down or lying down. Am I seriously too busy to notice any other times?
Cravings: Homemade bread with butter. Mom got a "family Christmas gift" of a breadmaker for Little Sis and I to share, and already it's been dangerous. The ability to make warm white bread is not exactly helping my aforementioned problem.
Aversions: The compost-y bin thing in the kitchen is my enemy. It's so disgusting, it makes me never want to eat anything. Ever. Except I am hungry. Hmmm.
High point: Making big progress with the nursery! Darling Husband painted the walls a beautiful light aqua, and it's starting to feel so real. We also found out the date of our booked C-section (April 25)!
Low point: A few difficult outings with the Toddler of Terror. I know it's wrong to think your child is being an ass, but ... yeah! Terrible Twos seem to have hit six months early.
How does this week compare to Week 23 during pregnancy #1? Nursery prep was about in the same stage at this point last time. Heartburn, too.
Baby preparation: Painted the nursery, as I mentioned above. I alternate between feeling like there's no huge rush on the nursery and feeling like OMG we have to get it DONE. (I just looked at the blog and realized I only have three weeks left of the second trimester. Holy crap! Now I want to try to get it finished before then).
