Time goes by so quickly

It is hard to believe that I am almost entering the third trimester. It seems like such a short time ago that I found out my life was about to change. It feels like overnight I went from a couch surfing, partying free soul to a nesting pregnant home owner. In only 3 months and 1 week I will be a mom!

I am getting bigger and bigger and today I felt so heavy! Vacuuming is suddenly exhausting. Bathroom trips are becoming more frequent and dreams are getting crazier and crazier.

Kicking away

Well I have an active baby that is for sure. He is flipping around all day and night it seems...especially night. Let's hope he doesn't get his dad's exhausting energy supply or I am going to have a hard time keeping up. It's pretty reassuring feeling the little guy moving around in there though and crazy when he kicks so hard I can see my belly move. He is certainly getting bigger and bigger and so am I.

24 weeks tomorrow

Belly Photo- 21 weeks

Well, I'm really showing now. Clothes are not really fitting, time for a new wardrobe of sweats!

20 weeks- Halfway thru!

Today is the 20 week mark. I have officially reached the halfway point! You never really notice how pregnant women only gain weight the second half until you actually are one. For some reason I thought it would be a more gradual process but all the sudden I am gaining quickly and I know that it will only get quicker as I get closer and closer to my due date.

I don't really feel any different, I seem to be feeling a little more movement but it is still hard to tell for sure. Bring on those kicks baby! I'm ready!

Next week is going to be super exciting, I will be closing on the house for sure and finding out the sex on Tuesday. I really hope we can tell for sure....

Emotions and preggo brain

So while my first trimester was blessedly low key, no morning sickness for me! The 2nd trimester brings on its own issues. I am suddenly the most emotional and scatterbrained person ever. Those of you who know me understand that I am not really that emotional a person. I can usually deflect things that would bother me and wait until I am really upset to cry. Not anymore.. here come the waterworks!

The slightest thing will send me into tears so please be careful with me. I couldn't even make it though Avatar without tearing up... the poor tree! and forget sappy dramas and chick flicks.

Oh and the other day I drove off without my gas. I mean, I paid for the gas, I just didn't pump it. Then when I went back someone was pumping my gas! Thankfully the woman just laughed and said the same sort of silly things happened to her when she was pregnant... thank you for not making that situation any worse! I hope my brain cells come back later but I have heard pregnancy brain just turns into mommy brain....
