25 weeks

Week 25 so far... I'll keep updating as it goes.

New Happenings

-More stretch marks. Kimbal thinks it's neat that they're forming in imperfect concentric circles around my belly button. I personally think it's less cool. Ew. It looks like my belly will explode soon.

-Packing for the move demonstrated just how much my range of motion has changed. Bending? Ha.

Things I learned this week

-Dancing in heels while pregnant is difficult, but completely worth it! I love my husband!

-My MGs are the only ones comfortable enough with me to rub my tummy so far. I like that. It's cute when friends do it, the idea of strangers treating me like Buddha, much less endearing.

24 weeks

Clearly also late, plus we forgot to take a picture. Lame. Sorry!

New Happenings

-Doctor's appointment this week. She moved us from the four weeks between visits schedule to the two weeks schedule. It's getting closer!

-Started working on the crib. Were pleasantly surprised to find that the wood beneath the icky white paint put on by the last owner is actually quite good. Were less thrilled to realise how long it's going to take to sand that puppy down. Yikes.

-Finally found the courage to read the chapters about labor and birth in the book my Dr gave me. Scary stuff, but it's better to be prepared right?!

-Braxton Hicks continued, they're even MORE fun this week. If these are just the practice ones I'm even more freaked out about the real thing.

Things I learned this week

-Forget last week's decision that saltines and peanut butter are best. Now it's cashews and since the doc told me I need to be getting more protein when snacking, I don't even feel guilty about them. Good thing there was a big sale on them at Albertson's. Yum.

-Realized I wouldn't be allowed to paint the baby room walls in the new place. Cried. Gotta love those pregnancy hormones.

23 weeks

So... this is late (clearly) but we did actually take the picture to document my, uh... expanding horizons on time. I'm pretty sure that counts.

New happenings

-Kimbal finally felt one of Logan's ninja kicks. Quote "Whoa, there's some real power behind that!" Tell me about it.

-Braxton Hicks contractions started. Those are exciting.

-First stretch marks showed up. Lovely. They're in a totally random spot too, just to the left of my belly button. The little man just chills there all the time. Kinda funny, but they also made me sad. I'm never going to be as mildly attractive as I once was ever again.

Things I learned this week

-Saltines with Peanut Butter might be the perfect snack.

-You can be painfully full and still ravenous.

-I'm getting to the point where I can either lift my leg a bit OR bend a bit. Putting on pants is now an Olympic event.

Pics WILL be coming for weeks 23 and 25 I promise! They needed editing and now I can't find them. I'm brilliant. I'll post them after Kimbal gets home and helps me locate them again.
