Symptoms: fatigue, indigestion, eczema, eye issues
- I think I’m just going to be tired through this whole pregnancy.
- Another not so great week in terms of my digestive system. I’d say half the week I really struggled at the end of the day. It seems like a switch flips at 6pm, and I go from fine to no appetite, feeling nauseated, and just a general unpleasant feeling. I don’t think all the eating out in San Antonio helped… I definitely ate more than I usually do, and I think the big meals just didn’t sit well by the end of the day. I’m guessing stress may also be playing a part in all of this too…
- The eczema on my chest has improved a lot, but still having to deal with it daily.
- Throughout this pregnancy, I’ve had issues wearing my contacts. At first it was an eye infection that I treated and got rid of. But I still feel like my eyes get dry quickly and are easily irritated with contacts in. After only 5 or 6 hours of wear, my eyes were all red and watery our last day in San Antonio… so annoying.
Maternity clothes: Yep!
Stretch marks: no new ones
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: Completely dependent on Gerrit this week. He caught another cold, and he had a couple of nights of rough sleep, which meant the same for me. Thankfully Andrew’s schedule was pretty flexible, so between him and his parents, I got to sleep in most days.
Best moment this week: We had a bunch of great moments in San Antonio this past weekend. With all the back and forth discussions and stress surrounding Andrew’s upcoming TDY, it was good to get out of town and be distracted by good food and fun outings. I really loved watching Gerrit play and discover at the children’s museum though!
Miss anything: Eating normally
Movement: Yes, pretty often!
Cravings: Still had a bit of a sweet tooth… I ordered this huge French toast for breakfast one morning (I never order pancakes/waffles/French toast), and I just had to get an item from the bakery the next morning for breakfast too.
Looking forward to: Our next OB appointment — we’ll be talking about the anatomy scan we had done, and I’m eager to know if everything is looking normal and healthy.
