Thanks for all the comments!!
My baby bulge started around week dot - seriously I feel like I have been "showing" since the start. I could so be putting up bump photos already! The ultrasounds have been the crappy ones that are hard to decipher in picture form. Hard enough to decipher on screen. Which might be good in the end though as I don't intend to find out the sex of tj-baby (didn't for K either- until the doctor came in to deliver K, as in "ganbatte, last push now" and told me that I was "pushing for a little girl" aarrgggh!).
The cravings for salty foods continues- so maybe tj-baby is a boy?? Although I remember sending salt and vinegar pringles to Gaijin Wife when she was preggars with Marina, so I am not sure if the old wive's tale holds true....or *was* that when she was preggars with Shou? hmmmmmm.
I have been trying to limit the AMOUNT of food I have been eating though, and have also taken on eating a bowl of salad before the meal (or instead if it works!!) as I have been feeling so bloated otherwise. Of course, I have only been doing this for 2 days, and have now run out of lettuce so I don't know if it will continue or not.....And I am sure that midnight snacks of boiled eggs (salted, of course) don't help. I am surprised I haven't put on 10kg already!!
I guess it will be nice again being pregnant over the winter - K was due mid April but came early at week 38, on April 2nd. I think the estimate for tj-baby is a bit early so am actually expecting it to arrive early May. It will be a good time of year, though.
Now if only this new sofa wasn't so damn comfy and I could get my barge-arse off of it and get to bed- 1am is way past bedtime, I am sure.

blogging instead of sleeping

i never heard any old wives' tales involving cravings and the sex of the baby. with hiro i was swimming nearly every day and ate lots of low fat foods (like tofu) but also visiting misudo a lot (for coffee and a warm place to sit down--i was freezing cold during most of my pregnancies). with sasha i craved pepperoni pizza and visited costco three (or more!) times a week. with tommy...again, lots of misudo (it was warm, and i could distract the kids with donuts. mmmmm, donuts *drool*)
ReplyDeletei personally indulged my cravings. i didn't gain much *during* pregnancy, but certainly gained a lot after giving birth!! yikes!
hope you're feeling well!
Wow, I can't believe you are not going to find out the sex - I really couldn't wait that long!! Naoki and I have kind of agreed that once we have one of each and are pregnant with our next we won't find out. That WAY down the track though, lol!
ReplyDeleteSince my last appointment I have been really watching what I have been eating as well. I am actually doing a food diary at the moment to show the doctor if she starts on at me about my weight gain again...
Pregnant or not, boiled eggs with salt? YUM!!
Oh wow I didn`t know you didn`t know K`s sex when she was born (well except for those last couple of minutes) - will be interesting to hear your theories though as you go along and whether or not the pregnancy is different to the one you had with K.
ReplyDeleteI can`t sleep until late- but then when I do sleep I tend to sleep and stay in bed until about 11am...most of it just dozing between pee breaks though. Maybe I should start blogging instead of sleeping late at night too (instead I tend to watch the shows that aired in America the night before- thank god for torrents)
Shame the pictures arn`t very clear- my first couple were really good but then after that the baby got to big and the actual images they give me are crap because all it is is a head or an arm, or a belly. The dvd`s are nice though, especially since Shun doesn`t come to the appointments with me usually but he enjoys watching the DVDs when he gets home.
Hope everything continues to go well and the insomnia disappears soon!
