Week 24

Hungry and tired said every pregnant Mama ever!  I'm continuing to work a lot and I'm feeling bigger than ever! My neck and back pain from my car accident also came back this week.  Thank goodness for my weekly massage because as soon as it was massage day my week dramatically improved.  I'm pretty sure I slept all weekend with the exception of taking my daughter to dance and going to work.  I'm also gaining way more weight than I want to but when I don't eat regularly I get all shaky feeling. Just trying to choose healthy choices...which is also difficult when you are just craving grilled cheesex10.

24 weeks--Pretty sure I'm carrying higher this time around!

23 Weeks

Hungry Hungry Hungry!  I am getting seriously concerned how hungry I have become.  I have been trying to eat high protein and healthy snacks but I just feel constant hunger.  And if I don't eat enough I get shaky and a headache.  My gestational diabetes test is coming up so I hope this isn't a bad sign because I don't remember feeling so yucky last time around.  And my weight also skyrocketed this week.  Whoops.  I actually had to call Daddy R to see if he ate any yogurt because I could not even believe I ate a whole big container in 24 hours.  Better than ice cream.  That is really all I can say.

Other than the hunger, things seem to be going well!

23 Weeks!

22 Weeks

I started my first week of working extra shifts and I'm officially exhausted.  Thank goodness for the holidays coming up and all of the fun family time we will be having.  Everything is going well.  Hungry all of the time.  Sleeping pretty well (ahhh second trimester).  And just soaking it all in.  Well my two pregnancies have felt like night and day in so many ways; however,  I feel like this little one is telling me "we are sisters" right now, as she has taken position in my stomach in the exact same position her bigger sister once did.  Who knows if this is just how my uterus grows or if it's just a coincidence but Baby girl's feet are in my right rib cage and she is pressed against my right side just how I remember #1 feeling.  I just don't remember the feet being in the rib cage quite this soon.  Aahhh something tells me things are about to get painful.....

22 Weeks--can you see the dark circles under my eyes?? Yawn. 

21 Weeks

I've been feeling big lately.  What will I do when it's freezing degrees outside and no jackets zip over my baby bump?!  Being pregnant in the summer was so easy! Buying a huge coat for a few months seems ridiculous but it just might have to come to this because my coat barely zips right now.  I'm feeling lots of movements.  HARD kicks and punches.  Lots of hiccups.  We decided on a name and it does not include any part of my favorite dream name.  But it will just have to do.  Still haven't unpacked those baby clothes boxes.....or set up any "nursery."  I'm also going to be working more than ever these next few months.  I will need some luck to pull this all off because with holidays quickly approaching things are about to get extra crazy!  Good thing I handle crazy pretty well! :)
