20 weeks! Halway there! According to my app the baby is supposedly the size of a cantaloupe, I just can't see that!
My weight is staying steady, I've been within 2 pounds of the same weight for 2 months now. I guess I'm losing at roughly the same rate baby weight is gaining, its kind of odd. Today I am 1.2lbs above where I was a month ago but 1.4lbs BELOW what I was 2 months ago, so yeah, right about the same. This graph starts at 4/1 when I was just around 7 weeks along, through this morning.
Blood pressure has been down again but the dizzy spells have not gotten bad so maybe my body is adjusting. Here is a snapshot of my BP readings over the past week or so (I don't update my weight in this app, its just in there from when I set it up).
I think the actual food cravings have started, this week it was pierogies, I finally found some at the grocery store yesterday and plan on having those for dinner. Unfortunately the horrible taste in my mouth and occasional nausea has also returned.
Sleeping has become and issues as I can no longer sleep on my back, it makes it hard to breath so I turn from side to side all night long.
My Ehlers-Danlos (EDS) has escalated significantly over the past couple weeks. I'm having to tape the knuckles on the first two fingers of my left hand to try to keep them in place. The Relaxin hormone on top of the EDS makes me a very Gumby girl right now.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I can't wait to read more!
