Week 25

Only a couple more weeks until I am finished with the second trimester. This is good news. I am really looking forward to the time going more quickly. 

What I love:I love being able to stick out my belly after eating a big meal and it doesn't matter at all.. :) 

What I hate: Being pregnant. But specifically I hate pelvic girdle pain. I am sick to death of hurting when I exercise and hurting when I don't and hurting when I sit or stand. Yep.. 

What I miss:  I miss being normal. And being active and not hurting when I am taking care of my two year old. 

 What I’m looking forward to the most: Running and exercising and eating well and not having a big ball in my midsection. 

Worries: I am really really not looking forward to pushing this baby out. 

Developments: Nothing new other then I feel like my belly it getting HUGE!

Mood:  Not too bad. I had a much better week then last week. 

Sleep:Still sleeping fairly well, though moving around it getting difficult. It's more every time I turn over I have to adjust settle again. 

Movement: Yes, lots!

Bra Size: B cup still, though if I was honest enough, I would get out my C and see how it fits. But I don't want too. 

The belly (and the button!): I am definitely bigger this time. Well the belly is, I am not as fat, thank God. 

Wedding rings on or off: On for a bit longer. 

Weight gain: 157lbs Up 20 pounds. Not too bad. 

Measurements: Nope. Not today. Maybe this next week. 

Exercise: I have come up with an alternative to running. I can run about four to five minutes at a time, so I am doing intervals. Run five minutes, do elliptical five minutes. And then some days do five minutes on the treadmill and then do exercises like pull ups & burpees etc. It's not awesome, but it is better then nothing. I am still lifting weights and hopefully I can still do that for a while longer.  Last week I ran 9 miles and this week it should be somewhere near that. My new goal is to exercise until 30 weeks and then I will reevaluate and see if it's still worth the pain. Not what I was hoping for, but I am still active and able to move despite being in a good amount of discomfort and pain. And really the only reason why I am still exercising is because I am stubborn. 

Eating: Doing well again and am still on track. 

The weekly pics: 

This baby is now the weight of a rutabaga, about a pound and a half and 13.5 inches long. It's growing more and more. 

And the belly pics. 

And just for fun, here is the four week update.
