PREGNANCY UPDATE WEEKS 17-20
I can't believe this is my 4th pregnancy update! But I am so glad the days are flying by! Also, this is such a long update! But I don't have anything else to say!
WEEK 17
My weeks are getting better! I am eating small portions, and keeping it down! But sometimes it is a fight to. I am still getting pretty sick after eating, but I don't get as nauseous anymore! I am throwing up about once a week now, which I am not mad about! But this week I have been getting really really really bad stomach aches. Other than that I have been pretty tired but haven't napped at all because when I nap I no joke sleep for 3+ hours, and then I have the hardest time falling asleep. I am still only getting up to use the bathroom once a night. And it is always around 3 in the morning. I am just glad it isn't more than that! Even though I know it will get more frequent! The last day of this week I ended up getting strep! We caught it literally the day of and got right into the doctors! I also weight in again and had lost 1/2 a pound! I got super sick later that day. And I mean really sick. But good thing the next day was Friday!
WEEK 18
I laid around all day! I honestly don't even think I got ready. My throat wasn't hurting at all! Thank the heavens! But my headaches have been sooooo bad! I guess even in week 17 they were bad! I am getting them every day or every other day. It sucks because they seriously throb and make me so nauseous! I am so temped to get that piercing that helps with migraines thats how bad they are. But I haven't been taking any medicine for them because keeping medicine down has been hard! Especially where I haven't really been eating a whole lot. I also think that I am allergic to the antibiotic that I was prescribed. They gave me Azithromycin, which I threw up like 1 or so hours after taking, and I have been breaking out in hives every morning since. They gave me 6 pills, but I only went through 4. Fun fact, I actually went to the ER before I found out I was pregnant because I kid you not, I had hives from head to toe! They had all melted together and was just one big patch, which my mom had hives throughout her pregnancy. I did a pee test, which came back negative, but it was just to early to tell! I never, never, never want to go through that again! So I have been taking some Benadryl to help them!
But man, this baby is a KICKER! This week I have felt so much movement! Mostly when there is pressure on it, like Josephs arm or my computer! The other night Joseph has his arm across me, and it was kicking at his arm! I thought it was so funny! And right now it is kicking at my laptop! The kicking is always on the right side, and doesn't move! Always the same spot!
WEEK 19
I think the sickness is almost gone! I still throw up stomach acid when I wake up, if I cough, but other than that I don't feel sick at all! I have worked like every single day this week, which I am so proud of myself. I also turn 21 in 2 weeks, so that is kind of weird to think about! I am still having little headaches, and some stomach aches, but they aren't to bad. I can't tell if my skin is getting worse or not! I have such bad cystic acne, and it did get worse once I got pregnant. Which I don't think I have even mentioned. But I think my skin is starting to clear up! I have tons of hyper pigmentation still, but it is looking better, even though it probably doesn't look like it to other people. I also have had tons more back pain! Back pain is seriously the worst! I was super nervous when we first found out, because I already have a bad back, and I was worried that it would make it worse. So we will see! ALSO, ITS A BOY! We found out the first day of week 19! Joseph is just so excited! I knew the gender and just surprised everyone else! At first I was so confused because I convinced myself it was a girl! All my dreams since I have been pregnant have been a girl, but when she typed boy up on the screen I was so confused! But I am still so happy! I also have this fear that they say it is one gender, and then it is going to come out the opposite, and I will already have the nursery and clothes. I don't know why that scares be but it does, so I hope it is a boy! The technician also told us she was getting a due date of July 6th, which was a day off of our original due date because the doctor moved us back a week! So really, I am almost 21 weeks if we are being technical, but then it would just throw everything off. She said he is weighing 11 ounces, and is in the 86th percentile for his size. So that is good! He is still kicking like crazy! He moves around more early morning, and late night. But I like it so it is okay! Also, I think my belly finally popped. But I wear baggy clothes anyways, so you can't tell yet! Also this week I have been LOVING toast with peanut butter and bananas. I am not a huge fan of bananas, but I am glad that I am just wanting lots of fruit!
WEEK 20
Holy Guacamole! I never thought this week would come! And HALLE-FREAKING-LUJAH I think we are done getting sick! This week I have been feeling so good! Other than a couple headaches here and there. But no more morning sickness! Okay, so hamburgers are my favorite thing in the whole world, but throwing them up ruined them more me! And I tried to eat one 2 days ago, and I couldn't even finish it. So sadly, I think I am done with beef, for a very very long time! And I have always had this dream of having a BBQ on Thanksgiving because I don't particularly like Thanksgiving food, but I don't know if I will ever get it! Maybe in like 10 years! We had our 20 week ultrasound, and everything looks good! I also gained 3 pounds! So that is a good sign! And he also confirmed to me that it was a boy! That makes me feel so much better!!! It must have been the whole bag of Reese's Eggs that I ate in one day! Other than that I have had a little bit of cramping, but thats it!
