| 24.5 weeks feel HUGE and FRUMPY!!! |
So in general I feel hugs and frump and well unattractive. Pregnancy does a lot to your body and I know some women glow and love it and look fabulous. I just don't feel that way. From my skin, to the weight and especially my hair. I am way over due for a hair cut and thankfully made an apt today. But COME ON HAIR GODS....where is all this super thick beautiful hair that they say you get when you are preggo??? I think that memo missed me. I feel like it is thinner than ever. What up with that?
How far along?25 weeks
Total weight gain:
24lbs YIKES...I hate admitting weight, but trying to keep it real for
all those mamas. The Dr said I am right on track and healthy. I hope
that it tappers off. I hear that most women gain between 40-50lbs. Weight is such an emotional issue for
me especially after being so heavy for so long. So even though I
understand gaining weight is healthy right now of course! It still doesn't change the fact that it is very hard for me to see that number on the scale and
have my body gain EVERYWHERE!!! I wish it was just in a cute little baby
bump, but yeah..um not so much for me with this pregnancy. I often battle with loving my body and have a love hate relationship with it and I am hoping that with time it will get better.
Maternity clothes? yep my normal wardrobe and me are on a break ;)
Stretch marks? no news ones, but still have those same ones from before...
Sleep? it has gotten very hard to sleep comfortably. You are supposed to sleep on your side when you are about 20 weeks and that is a super uncomfortable position for me and it hurts after a while. Just the weight from the baby in my stomach pulling at my sides over a period of time proves difficult and hurts.

Best moment this week: Having strangers stare at my belly and smile. Starting to decorate the nursery with my awesome hubby.
Miss Anything? being close to my family and friends!
Movement:She moves all the time. I can feel her flip around and also strong kicks!! She seems to get stronger every day. But, I think she has her dad's stubbornness because every time I try and get him to feel her she will stop. Like she is playing a little game.

Food cravings:breakfast food, BAGELS-specifically PANERA, anything pumpkin flavored and icecream.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Same stuff as last time. And adding to the list BUTTER and BBQ sauce. UGH so weird with all the smells.
Gender: GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: swelling in my feet and calves. A lot of lower hip/butt/sciatic pain. Mostly in my left side. And what prego women doesn't want acne too. That had been a bummer.
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on, they seem looser than usual at times, and other days my hands are swollen
Happy or Moody most of the time: moments of both.
Looking forward to: Taking some pics of the bump hopefully in the park where we took our wedding pictures soon before the leaves change.
