Total Weight Gain/Loss: I weighed myself at the gym in my office building and I'm up about 5-6 pounds total. I feel like I've gained a lot more though. I've been getting better about working out at least 3 times a week during lunch at the gym so hopefully that will help with the weight gain.

Sex: Another boy!

Sleep: fall asleep great but wake up several times to pee.

Symptoms: still a bit nauseous which is annoying, getting worn out much quicker and the belly has really popped!

Cravings: mainly fruit especially citrus

Best Moment this week:  Feeling what I'm pretty sue was a kick.
