(Today's post will be all about pregnancy. If you don't feel like
reading about that right now, I completely understand. Hope to see you
again soon.)
Total Weight Loss/Gain: I'm up around 12 pounds from the date of my dIUI. I'm right on schedule, which is reassuring.
Maternity Clothes: Yup. 100%. Love the pants.
Stretch marks: none yet.
Sleep: Trying to learn to sleep on my left side. My left shoulder hurts, so it makes it hard. I seem to wake at 3:30 a.m. just because.
Movement: Fluttering. Some movement feels like gas.
Cravings/Aversions: 2nd trimester is awesome. I can eat anything I want (minus the raw fish, etc.). Half of the amount I could eat before, mind you. I get full really fast.

Gender: It's a Girl!
Symptoms: 2nd trimester is the best. No nausea, more energy. Still mobile.
What I miss: Nothing!
What I look forward to: Getting the nursery together. 20 week anatomy scan.
Moods: Very, very happy and excited. I'm still a bit reactive, but I feel so good that the mood usually passes quickly.
Milestones: 17 week scan went well.
Medical concerns: None. Actually, there's a mole on my belly I need to have looked at. I have a dermatology appointment in Jan. Need to call to see if they can see me before.
Sex?: Mr. Jem is still very hesitant to engage in any type of activity, but a girl's got needs...!

Misc: Love my prenatal doppler. Brought it to Thanksgiving so my aunt and uncle could hear the heartbeat.

I can't believe people would be ridiculous enough to skip pregnancy posts. As much as I wish it were me, I'm always sooo excited for my pregnant Blogger friends. :)
Get that mole checked, asap. I had skin cancer and instantly because worried when someone mentions a change in skin.
<3 to you.
Glad to hear all is well with you. xo
Thanks for the update. I love pregnancy reports! Everything sounds great and normal - funny about you "having needs" and Mr. Jem being nervous. I'd be a little nervous if I were him too, but I've heard 2nd trimester can be a "sexy feeling" trimester. :)
Wow, 18 weeks already. Time flies!
Glad to hear you are feeling well. (I'll admit, I'm a little envious, LOL.)
You know, that's funny, I also just found a mole on my back...I wonder if it's pregnancy related? I'm so glad that you're enjoying the second trimester. I have to agree that it is much better than the first!
WOOT WOOT for a great update!! :)
18 Weeks! That's amazing! Congrats!
Happy ICLW. :)
Congrats hun!!
Glad all is well and you're enjoying the second trimester. And good to get the mole checked, but I'm 21 weeks and have had all sorts of new/bigger moles etc...apparently it's pregnancy related and pretty normal (according to my OB).
So exciting! Two things:
1) My OB told me just sleep on your side, left or right, and that's what I did (had perfectly healthy baby at age 39). Get one of the pregnancy pillows . . . they help!
2) My DH and I had sex the whole time . . . as long as you have no complications it's fine. In fact we did it the day I was induced (nine days late) to try to bring on contractions (no dice, sadly).
Good luck!
Almost halfway! I agree on the body pillows. They are great. And the sex? As long as there are no cervical issues, there are no limits. So enjoy!
