25 weeks!
I like the format that I used a couple of blogs ago, so here goes:
Movement!
I am now a whopping 25 weeks and a day pregnant. Lil Miss Bailey weighs approximately a pound and a half, and is just living it up inside my belly. Mark even felt her for the first time on Wednesday morning! That was a rather momentous occasion for us :) I've been feeling her on the outside for awhile now, but she usually likes to stop moving as soon as I say, "Baby! Come feel her, she's moving around!" It really trips me out when I see my belly move with the kicks - that's somethin' else. Then I feel like I have an alien parasite living inside me. As with my last blog post, she is still most active at night... this worries me a little.
Nesting!
I guess my nesting instinct is starting to kick in a little... Mark and I are slowly but surely clearing out and trying to organize the room that will soon be a nursery. This involved us going through his old dresser and cleaning out the drawers of stuff from his teen years. I often joke around and call Mark a hoarder because he has more sentimental attachment to things than I do, and sometimes has a hard time getting rid of old stuff. My mom can personally attest to the fact that I don't have that problem lol! There are some things I want to keep around, but, for the most part, I figure if I haven't used it in a certain period of time, it can go. Perhaps I watch too much Hoarders? I don't want to be a hoarder like those people!! Anyhow, we made good progress on the dresser and cleaned out three drawers! Only two more to go - one of which is filled with my old CDs from about ten years ago when my taste in music was questionable lol. I just have to find the motivation to keep cleaning!
Worrying!
I was thinking last night right before I went to sleep that, "Wow. I'm almost 6 months pregnant. That means that if all goes well, I'm going to give birth and be responsible for my own flesh and blood in about three months. O-M-G." I'm not freaking out, per se, but I am definitely more aware of what is soon to come! It's a little scary! My biggest worry is not knowing what to do. It's like I'm going to be starting a new job in three months, and it's going to be the most important job in my entire life. And I'd best not screw it up because I only get one chance! Part of me just wants to stay pregnant forever and never have a real baby outside the womb. Of course I'm excited for Mark and I to become parents, but I know this is the easy part and I wish I could stretch it out just a little bit longer! Three months isn't that long!! Then again, it is THREE MONTHS and that's plenty of time to finish reading my pregnancy books and learn all that I can before she arrives, provided she doesn't surprise us by a month or so.
Picture!
Blah blah blah... enough whining! Here's a bump pic:
I think I look like a royal goober in this picture, but I had to take a current one! My last shot was at, what, 22 1/2 weeks? There's a little difference I guess, but I feel the same! I'm proud that I can still fit into my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans and I was going to wear them for this shot, but Mark said that my bump didn't look very big in them so he told me to, "Go put on your pregnancy pants!" They do a very good job of accentuating my bump.
Weight gain!
One of my biggest (and very shallow) fears of being pregnant is gaining a lot of weight and not being able to lose it once the baby was born. Dumb, I know, but real nonetheless! Luckily, I haven't gained much... I use the weight that I was when I actually got pregnant, but since then I've only gained about 9 pounds depending on what I had to eat that day :) I figure if I can be on the low end and still have perfectly healthy baby then that's what I'll aim for! Yeah, we'll see how it goes in the last trimester.
That's enough!
Goodnight, y'all ;)
