How far along: 18+2

Total weight gain/loss: Lost 23lbs in first tri, have since gained 10lbs back.

Maternity clothes: Luckily all my jeans are low cut hipster jobs so they still fit, although if I hadn't lost all the weight with sickness I don't think they would. I have a pair of maternity trousers for work. Still in normal tops.

Stretch marks: I had a few old ones on my hips from weight gain, no new ones touch wood.

Sleep: always exhausted no matter how much i've had, and have to wake up repeatedly to pee

Best moment this week: Seeing my belly move when LO kicked

Movement: kicks quite often, especially between 6-7pm and 10-11pm and when I lie down in bed.

Food cravings: None really.

Gender: Find out in under a week

Belly button in or out?: In

What I miss: Goats cheese, and being able to eat a full meal. Still can't do this as stomach shrank so much from sickness. Being able to shower on an empty stomach (I faint if i do this now)

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex of bubs, OH feeling kicks and seeing movement.

Weekly Wisdom: For me- none of the supposed morning sickness cures work (ginger, mints etc) nor does it definitely go at 12 weeks. It's easier if you accept this early on.

Milestones: Hearing Heartbeat, seeing heartbeat on scan at 6 weeks, and again at 9+2.

Movement: Very frequent. Most active in the evening when I lie in bed. For the last couple of days I have been feeling her off and on all day long, getting more and more often.
