Weight: 142.0 lbs at 26w1d, about the same as last week.
Symptoms: nausea, starting to get tired really easily, a little harder to get up and down. I'm still at half the zofran dose I have been previously, hoping to wean completely at some point. 

Sleep: I'm still sleeping ok, still taking Unisom at night. I get up several times to pee and wake up hot in the middle of the night. 

Cravings/Aversions: Craving those little mandarin oranges and fruits. Periodic cravings for sugar cookies, but can't eat anything too sugary.

Workouts: No workouts, still too nauseous. 

Doctor Visits: no doctor visits this week.

profile at 25w6d, you can see her hand by her mouth

Weight: 142.0 lb at 25w, although a few days later my weight lowered. No bump pics this week, we don't have any full length mirrors in our new place so bump pics are harder to get.
Symptoms: still nausea, I've been slowly trying to wean myself off of the zofran. Currently I'm at half the dose I had been taking previously. I'm also getting some upper back aches and tailbone/sciatica pain. Normal things make me very tired, I don't have as much energy as I used to.

Sleep: Getting more and more restless throughout the night. Still taking half a Unisom for nausea, so that does help me fall asleep. Trying to get at least 9 hours a night or I feel like death the next day.

Cravings/Aversions: Still just craving lots and lots of fruit. Aversions to some foods too, most food just sounds nauseating. 

Workouts: No workouts, still too nauseous. 

Doctor Visits: We saw the midwife at 25w6d. Everything is perfect, measuring dead on and no concerns from the midwife.

This week has been crazy. We moved from one side of the island to the other with very little help. Poor George did most of the moving, all while in his final weeks of his last semester in college. With all the craziness, I didn't really have time to track my symptoms and weight (scale was packed already). Basically, all week I've been tired, sore and nauseous. Moving while pregnant is NOT fun! No doctor visits this week, but I did call the doctor once because I got stung by a wasp.

22 weeks, 5 days

hawaiian shave ice on the beach, 22 weeks 6 days

Weight: 134.8 lbs, still gaining!
Symptoms: Some nausea, no vomiting. I'm still taking 1/2 a zofran twice daily as well as B6 in the mornings and 1/2 a Unisom at night. This has kept the vomiting away and helped the nausea. Lots and lots of stretching and growing pains, lots of tailbone pain as well. She is always sitting on my right side so I tend to feel a lot more discomfort on that side. I also have to pee all the time. I think she's using my bladder as a trampoline!

Sleep: Still sleeping good, but I'm starting to toss and turn a lot more than before.

Cravings/Aversions: Cravings lots of fresh fruit and the occasional food that reminds me of growing up. This week I was craving chicken and wild rice soup like my mom used to make. Still have lots of aversions to most foods

Workouts: None, just lots of packing to prep for our move.

Doctor Visits: No doctor visits this week
