So, sixteen weeks.
There’s not a lot of anything new to update. The nausea and exhaustion continue, as does the expansion of my uterus.
My joints have gone to shit and I succeeded in sleeping badly last night, waking up with my left shoulder fully dislocated. I’m sort of glad that I was half asleep relocating it, because I don’t remember much, except that it hurt and all of the muscles around it were spasming.
The muscles in my neck are swollen this morning and my shoulder blades ache, but that is nothing unusual.
Still no weight gain, but I seem to have stopped the weight loss, finally. Eating is becoming easier, provided I don’t forget to take the maxalone and my EDS nausea doesn’t flare (which involves remembering to take my PPI medication every morning).
Apparently the baby this week is the size of an avocado, which merely makes me crave avocado and toast and doesn’t speak to me of a baby kicking around in there.
Oh! And movement – from the small flutters I’ve been getting, we’ve transitioned upwards to definite pokes, some of which can be felt externally. Amy is very eager to feel the baby kick and I’m hoping I can indulge her in the next few weeks.
Isaac however just wants to kiss and pat my stomach, which is very cute at lunchtime and not so cute 30 minutes after he’s been put to bed.
My breasts are huge (you can see me trying to contain them) and starting to leak. This I find incredibly unfair – I didn’t have to deal with randomly leaking breasts until I was 7 months along with both other children, so what the hell body?
Yet again, I can repeat that despite the nausea, exhaustion and broken joints, this is my least eventful pregnancy.
It’s a bit bizarre, in a good way.
You look lovely! And so does your garden! You must be so tired by the end of the day. 🙂
Hey congratulations!
I don’t often get to read your blog so just found out your news.
All the best for a great pregnancy (well as great as you can expect) and the smooth delivery of a healthy baby.
Alida 🙂
That is one seriously cute pumb! Sounds to me like you deserve an uneventful pregnancy – hoping the next 24 weeks are just as uneventful! Now – go have some avocado on toast 🙂
Pump!!!! Bump.
That round tummy looks delightful! Pregnancy is such a strange time – where you can simultaneously whinge about sickness and pain and delight in growing avocados and being poked from the inside. I hope it continues to be uneventful and wonderful!
Beautiful pic and great blog, thoroughly enjoyed reading. Enjoy, you have the most important role of all and heres a cheers to you and all the other pregnant mums! xo
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I’m ravingly jealous, but mostly I’m just super happy for you. You deserve this more than anyone I can think of <3
I was going to mention your boobs. I’m glad you brought it up first otherwise it may have been awkward. Sucks that they are leaking already though!!
I hae been preoccupied lately and have not been reading many blogs. Yours has been one of my favorites. Just read that you are expecting again. Hope all goes well. I think you are a great parent. Hopefully my problems will be over soon and I can enjoy the internet and the blogs on it again!
