With that being said sleep has been kinda all over the board for me. Like I said I love my naps, but when it comes to actually turning in for the night I am just a hot mess! I'm sure you all have either heard or experienced this, but when you become pregnant your bladder becomes the size of a pea! With that being said this gives me high anxiety when it comes to bed time. I feel like every time I'm in a good position or am about to fall asleep I have to get up to go pee!!! I've come to realize that this is more irritating than Fergie's face!! I feel like I've done everything I can to alleviate this problem, but nothing seems to work!! I even pray to God sometimes to just go ONCE in the middle of the night... cause 4x's a night is just plain obnoxious...and the worst part is that I know it will only get worse! Maybe I should just learn to sleep on the pot?!
Ok, so besides the ridiculous bladder problem, I'm still enjoying my pregnancy so far! I'm starting to feel the baby move more frequently. I tell my girls that it's so bazaar to me how the baby always moves around the same time every evening. I'm so taken back by how she/he already has a 'moving' schedule. It's always around 10:30-11:00 when I start feeling her/him dancing. There's no better feeling...It's like a little reward after a hard day!
This week has been the first time I've ever really thought about my weight since I've been pregnant. I had my last doctors appointment just last week and she said that I've gained 5 pounds so far. Which really surprised me because I've been eating everything in sight! She told me that was on track on my weight gain and that in my second trimester I should expect to gain about another 15 pounds!! Um, ok so far with the 5 pounds I've gained I already feel like I'm starting to waddle a little...I can't even imagine how I will walk trying to drag around another 15 pounds. Yikes! Wide load coming through!!!!! I know that the weight will only increase, but the thing that I'm super scared about is stretch marks! Ok, this may sound a little vain of me, but my skin is something that I take a lot of pride in. I lather myself in lotion and paste everyday to make sure I don't get them, but I know that the only effective way to not get them is to not gain weight too drastically. Hence the fact that I am now a little bit more conscious about my weight gain. Don't worry, I wont go starving myself; I would never do that to the baby. I will however, be a little bit better about what I eat and exercise more :)
So the big news this week is that we made our appointment for an ultrasound anatomy scan a.k.a our half way ultrasound a.k.a we find out the sex of the baby (if the little one behaves *fingers crossed*). We are so excited!! We'll keep you all posted for sure!! T-minus 9 days!!! Yayer!
The baby so far...
Size: 4.6 inches and is now the size of an avocado
Weight: 3.5 ounces
According to TheBump...Tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she/he can now hear Mom's voice :)

Maybe wear Depends? Lol
You know one thing I swear by for stretch marks is to exfoliate your skin at least once a week (i do twice and just use my normal soap on a pair of exfoliating gloves) I have not one stretch mark on my stomach from Drake (and I have stretch marks on other parts of my body!!!) And the usual lotion you prefer!!
Danica, I'm really thinking about it!! Geez!
Shannon, thank you for the tip! I will for sure try that! I hope you are doing well :)
