Holy smokes! This is it, world. This is THE WEEK that I started feeling humongous, disgusting, miserable, and worthless. HAHA! Seriously though, I feel like I could physically deliver any day, and I have 12-13 weeks left. HOW?! Everywhere I go, people give me the most sympathetic looks and shout "almost there!" and I'm like "nah, lots and lots of time to go" and they look at me with shock and horror. My weight gain has skyrocketed, and honestly I'm not even sure why. I haven't been eating more than I normally do?! It's insane. Baby must have gone through a HUGE growth spurt, which is totally fine, just unexpected at this point. But I really hope I can slow this weight gain train down or I will be kicking myself later. The things we do for these little ones!
In other news, Eileen, my mom, and I had a BLAST in Florida! It was such an awesome getaway, and such special time with just the two of them. We ate, drank, relaxed by the pool/beach, and honestly did not much else. It was perfect and I am so glad we went!
What an awesome trip! In other news, we have been passing the time as usual...crazy running around here and there, mixed in with stuck at home boredom. Haha! But, also as usual, we are having a blast and feeling very blessed. The weather is finally WARMING UP, so I even got to take some (belated) birthday shots of my Maevie girl!
Not much else is going on, for now. Like I said, genuinely struggling to get around, and I know it's only going to get worse from here. But that's life. All good at my 25 week check-up, baby was moving all around and heartbeat was 160. I asked my doctor if it was normal to be NEXT LEVEL tired at this point...he just laughed. I guess that's a yes!
Check out this bump!
Truly unflattering bathing suit bump. Yikes.
Rocking the Steve Jobbs look!
How far along? 26w on the nose!
Clothing? Almost exclusively maternity everything, already. I can't believe we're here so soon!
Sleep? Exhausted all the time, even though I'm sleeping. Like I said, next level tired.
Best moment of this week? Getting my house cleaned Friday!! WOOHOO! It's the little things in life right!
Worst moment of this week? Nervous about weight gain and slowing down as the weather is getting nicer. I'm always stressing about something but I need to fight that urge!
Miss anything? Wine :)
Movement? TONS. So so much. I feel like these are peak movement days and I am savoring all of it!
Symptoms? TIRED. ACHY. SLOW. GI stuff comes and goes every few days, round ligament pain if I move too fast, back pain, congestion, some dizziness, a little swollen. FAT!
Food cravings? Trying to be really good this week and eat my salads but I always need a little ice cream at night after dinner!
Gender? Still playing with the boy idea, haha!
Labor Signs? Nope!
Belly button in or out? All of the sudden, super outie! Lila is fascinated by it.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Mood? Generally feeling so happy and blessed!
Looking forward to? 28-week appt and glucose test (praying I don't have GD, I never have but who knows?!), followed by 30-week appt and choosing Babes's birthday!!! Warmer weather (despite the running around that I know will follow), SPRING!
That's a wrap!!!!!!!!
