Weight Gain Alert!
155 lbs
Gained This Week: 2 lbs
Total Weight Gain: 32 lbs
Movement:
Ellie's movements have become much more pronounced. Some of her kicks and movements are quite uncomfortable. She responds to me patting my belly and she loves to listen to music. So far her favorites are The Avett Brothers and Johnny Cash. She definitely has my taste in music!

Food Cravings:
I've started craving ice. I still drink tons of water throughout the day, but my food cravings aren't too severe.

Food Aversions:
Anything greasy. There's not much that I won't eat right now. I probably don't eat enough red meat, but I've never eaten enough even before I was pregnant.
My Current Eating Pattern:
I'm trying to still keep my same patterns now that I'm not working as much. It's actually been harder for me to remember to eat because I have so much stuff to do around the house.

Best moment of the week:
Hearing Ellie's heartbeat again and getting her room put together a little more. I've enjoyed having more time at the house.
Worst moment of the week:
Failing my one-hour glucose test. I don't look forward to taking the three-hour test.

Milestones:
In 10 weeks our precious Ellie could be born. This pregnancy has flown by, and I'm glad that I've documented as much as I have.
"Ellie most likely weighs over two pounds now and should be able to recognize my voice."

The belly is definitely growing. Some days I'm extremely uncomfortable depending on how she lays.
