Not a lot to report this week.
Weight gain- I'm thinking somewhere between 5-6lbs up at this point. It sounds like a lot to me for some reason, although I'm actually smaller at this point that I was with my other two pregnancies. My next appointment is on Thursday, so I'll be able to say for certain how much I've gained so far then. I just keep saying in my head "you can lose it after the baby is born" and "you WANT a chubby baby" so that helps. I probably sound neurotic and insane about this issue, but I had such a bad experience the first time around by gaining 45 lbs with E (that took me 9mo to get off) so I don't want to go through that again.
Baby movement - definitely feeling movement now. Not constant yet, but enough throughout the day that is eases my mind. He/she's been a bit quiet today, although last night before bed I felt a nice case of the hiccups. :) Everything I read says that you probably won't feel them every day yet, yet I DO feel kicks everyday makes me happy. I hope I have a very active bub within the next week or so.
Now on to something that is not baby related. We got a letter in the mail today stating that a sex offender has moved in 3 houses down. It's definitely a strange feeling knowing that and having the cops actually send you something notifying you of it. He was charged with a sexual assault level 4 and theft. He's also labeled as a risk 3 which means they think he will reoffend. That's what freaks me out the most. His victim was a 15yr old, so I'm hoping it was a case of a then-22yr old guy having an underage relationship was a then-15yr old girl. Not that that's ok, because that's still horrible, but the my freak-out level would be a whole lot different than it would be if he was charged with assaulting a small child. I don't know, I feel wrong even thinking that because I'm sure a mother of a 15yr old would think that's awful, but I'm a mom of a 5yr old daughter so that's where my mind is.
Blah. DH is all "lock the doors and load the guns!" so he's definitely in protect mode right now. One of the guys in his Army unit is a police officer, so he emailed him asking him for any information he has on this guy and the case. I think both me and my DH would feel a lot better knowing the full story.
But ANYWHO, back to better things. A belly pic! Baby is definitely growing and I'm starting to get a mixture of small maternal smiles and "oh man, how old IS she" (lol) when I go out in public.
