Week 19

Wow, it's on of THOSE kind of weeks again. But tomorrow we are going in for the anatomy scan and that is something to look forward too! :) Oh and I wanted to add one more thing to the list. Bra size. This is for next time, so I don't forget my rate of growth. By this time with Jackson, I am almost positive I was in a C cup. 

What I love: HHHmmm, well, I still just like the baby moving and kicking.. 

What I hate: The baby sitting on my ligaments so when I am running, like today, I am in horrible discomfort & even pain. I HATE MY SKIN!!!!!!! I hate that I look like I am in high school again. Oh well. 

What I miss: I miss gin & tonics! And I miss the sunlight and the warmth of the sunshine & the green grass & the leaves on the trees. OK, most of that is what I miss about summer, but SERIOUSLY! It's been 30 below & colder for like a month!

What I’m looking forward to the most: Laying on my belly and having small boobs again and not hurting when I walk around. 

Worries: I am worried that I am not going to be able to keep running and I am worried that the pain I have now is only going to get worse. 

Symptoms: I hurt. I have terrible skin & I am getting fatter. 

Mood:  Much better then last week. I feel pretty good other then the pain, and that has even been better this week.  

Sleep: Excellent except when I have bizarre dreams like last night. I swear, I was fighting with and swearing at people all night long. Yuck.  

Movement: Almost daily. Actually probably daily, but not really strong like I know it will be soon. 

Bra Size: B cup. I moved into a B about two weeks ago. Hurrah for slower growth!

The belly (and the button!): HA! The belly button has been weird since the last time. So it's still in but stretched out and funky looking. My belly on the other hand looks very nice. No stretch marks yet. I will keep crossing my fingers that I won't get any this time either. (The same as last week.)

Wedding rings on or off: On!

Weight gain: I weigh 151 as of today, so that is a total of 14 lbs. So better then last time, but not great. Of course I did weigh myself in the middle of the day, so plus or minus a pound for good measure. 

Measurements: Nope, not this week. 

Exercise: So far, it's been painful and irritating. But the weekend is still coming up and that is usually the best time. Last week I did 21 miles on the treadmill and on Saturday, I ran five in 37:19. Of course I had a much harder time on Sunday because of it, but it FELT SO GOOD that I couldn't help push myself faster then I aught. 
I lifted weights and it was fine, though I did cut back a bit more. Tomorrow I will be in town all day, so I am not sure I will be exercising, but I thought I might run like two miles and throw in some weights just to be good. We'll see how that turns out. 

Eating:  Still tracking, and still doing fairly well with it. I really should focus on getting more protein into my diet, but it's so easy just to eat carbs and be done with it. In the cold weather that's all I want anyway. 

The weekly pics: 

And here are the pics for this week. 
The baby is the length of a heirloom tomato, so I am guessing a REALLY big tomato! From what I can tell, this baby is growing wildly! I am hungry all the time and I would like to blame it on someone else. :) 

And the belly shot.
