Is it a bump or is it the 87 bottles of water I drink every day? I’m going to go with baby bump, not water bump.
Here is the skinny on the bump this week:
Size of baby: The baby should weigh 5 ounces (the size of a plum), and the uterus almost a 1/2 of a lb. I think that small amount of weight is straining my back
.
Weight gain: Still at 6 lbs from my last binge of nigh time eating I suppose.
Gender: We will find out in a month!
Movement: None yet.
Sleep: Meh… I always wake up at a random early am time (4-5) and have to get up to pee. That’s irritating.
what I miss: I miss being able to sneeze without the worry of giving myself a golden shower.
Cravings: A starbucks breakfast sandwich, beefaroni, gummy bears, and sugar cookies.
Symptoms: I have an angry mouth. Examples: My tongue is always dryer than the desert, my gums are bright red and bleed when I brush, random nausea spells. Gum secretion at night that makes me taste what appears to be cow butt every single morning. YUCK.
Best moment this week: Seeing that a few of my pumpkins survived in the patch.
Worst moment this week: Spilling freaking water on my 3 month old mac air. AND being forced to hold Harper’s limbs down while her doctor drew 4 vials of blood, in addition to 2 shots. :*(
There ya go…that’s all I have for now.
Hope your last few days weren’t as bad as mine! 🙂

Lol the 87 bottles of water haha love it. And the angry mouth. Sometimes I love te angry mouth!
I just wake up and am like “who broke in the house and put a dead raccoon in my mouth?”. YUCK!!! It’s like my gums are seeping acid! How disgusting!
I like how you wrote this. I just started getting bleeding gums again. I had it real bad with my first one.
I got my teeth cleaned twice with the first one and they couldn’t finish either time because I was bleeding so much and hurting! They felt so sorry for me! As they should…as they should….
haha everyone should have pitty on us lol. I just avoid them & let them bleed. probably should go in one day
That’s a definite baby bump! So sweet! I still have angry mouth at 20 weeks! The only thing that seems to have disappeared is the weird taste – that went away around 14 weeks for me.
Can’t wait to find out what you’re having!
What is up with that taste? Is it battery acid? Skunk? Feet? It doesn’t really help when I feel like I might hurl! Glad your mouth is less angry now!!! 🙂 I can’t wait to find out either!! We are going to a high risk doctor tomorrow (they have the badass ultrasound machine…top of the line) so they can sometimes tell at 12-14 weeks…that would be insane. I would probably fall in the floor if they told me my dream of early gender results was here so soon!!!
Golden shower…I hear you. It doesn’t happen when I sneeze but when I throw up – every single time! So annoying!
Ah man…just insult to injury when you pee your pants while hugging the toilet!! I guess it could be worse…at least we don’t crap our pants when we sneeze or throw up.
Sounds like I have heaps to look forward to in the next few weeks! 😉 You’re doing awesome though! x
I think I’m not AS disgruntled this second time around because I know what I will feel like once my ultimate prize is claimed! 🙂 I really assume it’s what a herion addict feels when they score. Never done it, but I really think it’s like getting high when you meet them the first time!! Thank you for your sweet comment!! 🙂
I finally broke down and bought one of those Boppy pregnancy pillows. The fortress of pillows I was surrounding myself with just wasn’t doing the job. http://fitmamain.wordpress.com/2012/09/23/hotels-marijuana-and-serial-killers-oh-my/
I bought one of those with my first pregnancy…those puppies are pricey… I didn’t really LOVE mine. I found myself having arguments when I would tangle myself up in it at night…in a fit of pregnancy crazy, I threw it away!! lol I know a lot of my friends swear by it, I hope it helps you in your sleeping endeavors……the bigger the belly gets the more pillows you gotta add haha!
you live in birmingham, alabama? i’m in huntsville. 🙂
So cute! I remember the weight strain on my back at 8-14 weeksish then it started to subside for some reason.
So weird that it happens that early!!! Mine went away when I started to get giant-size with Harper’s pregnancy…You’d think it would be the opposite!
