Symptoms: fatigue, back pain, eczema, eye issues, nasal congestion, vomiting, constipation
- I think I’m just going to be tired through this whole pregnancy. In general, I was sleeping better, but Gerrit has been having some rough nights again. He’s not sick; I think it’s just restlessness and bad dreams. Anyway… very broken sleep for me.
- Some days are worse than others for back pain. It wasn’t as bad this week though.
- Still having to treat eczema daily.
- Still limiting my contact lens use. I feel like 6 hours is about my max before my eyes start feeling dry and watery.
- Nasal congestion is still happening.
- Out of nowhere and after 4 weeks of no getting sick, I threw up again this week before dinner one night. Hoping it was just some random bad night.
Maternity clothes: Yep! Ordered a couple of pairs of maternity shorts, since I didn’t wear shorts much with my last pregnancy.
Stretch marks: no new ones
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: Pretty good this week (minus Gerrit waking)
Best moment this week: Probably Valentine’s Day! I made some macarons for Gerrit and a yummy dinner for all of us. I got a very sweet card from Andrew too.
Miss anything: Being able to function better on little sleep
Movement: Yes, pretty often!
Cravings: Still loving the green apples
Looking forward to: Well, I haven’t gone through baby clothes yet, so I’m still looking forward to checking that off my list. Also looking forward to my next OB appointment (minus the glucose test).
