Week 25

Wow. It was a really busy week. (This week and week 26.) I am posting very late, but I think I remember what all happened. We'll see. I am definitely struggling more with being pregnant, in the sense that now I really "feel" pregnant. It's getting more uncomfortable having a soccer ball in the middle of me and I've had some more pain, though still not terrible. It's not my fave. I have been really trying to stay focused on where I am now, and how far I've come instead of all that is to come. It's not an easy thing for me, but I am determined to not be a miserable jerk for the last three months of pregnancy. 

Week : 25

What I love: Oh the normal things. My family, sleeping! The baby moving around. Being on my last pregnancy. Yeah for the end in site!

What I hate: Restriction. I hate not being able or feeling like doing the things I've always been able to do. It's probably the hardest part of pregnancy for me. Oh and mood swings. I hate being grumpy all the time. (I hope it's not really all the time, but it can feel that way. 

What I miss: Normal life. Sleeping on my belly. My nice clothes. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: My old body. My improved old body. I look back and wow! I was looking pretty good. I will look that way again, but there is a lot of work to be done and hunger to be felt before I get back there. I also want to see what this little girly will be like. What she's look like, what her personality will be. I have a feeling I have another spit fire, but that's all to the good. 

Sleep: Good. I love to sleep. I want to be sleeping right now in fact. Hmmm Sleep!

Bra Size: C. I bought a new bra. Yeah! 

Wedding rings on or off: Off, but I tried it on and it fit! Then my hand swelled up and I had to pry it off. Hmm. 

Weight: 163  Weight Gain: 20lbs

Worries: How long will I be able to move relatively freely and have good work outs? How long will it take to recover from birth? How much is it going to hurt? Those kinds of things. 

Developments: Not much really. She's still moving all around and I'm still gaining weight and looking a lot more pregnant. 

Mood: Kind of up and down and all around. I have been quick to anger and slow to kindness. Not what you want in a mom. But, I am still fighting to not be a total wench, so that is something. I kind of got overwhelmed with how long this process takes. I am about ready to be done, but I still have over three months, sooooooo, too bad. 

Movement: Lots! This girly is definitely as active as her sister. And brother. Hopefully she won't be quite as high rev as Emma, but she probably will have to be to keep from being overwhelmed. 

The belly (and the button!): I might have to do away with this one It's stupid. It's big and round and white. 

Measurements: Chest:  38 Waist: 33.5  Midsection: 37.5  Hips: 41 Thighs: 

Exercise:  Good. Five days again this week. I think I posted all the work outs but if I didn't I'll go back and do it. 

Eating: Same old, same old. Too much sugar, but good otherwise. 

The weekly pics: 

Fat: Your baby is starting to put on baby fat. As he does, his skin will start to smooth out and he'll start to look more like a newborn.

Hair: Your baby's hair now has recognizable color and texture, although both may change after he's born.

Uterus: Your growing uterus puts pressure on the veins that return blood to the heart, which is why you may feel dizzy if you lie on your back for too long.
