I honestly really can't complain about anything about pregnancy. I truly have been blessed to have it easy so far which with working full time I'm extremely grateful for. I never had morning sickness, a bit of nausea in the beginning if I wasn't eating every so often. I was tired A LOT in the first trimester. Finally hearing the heart beat was amazing, even more having Ryan there by me. I love how involved he wants to be, going to all of the visits making sure we are both doing well. Ryan has been amazing supporting me and willing to massage my shoulders and back whenever needed. As well as loving this growing changing belly of mine. Telling me every day how beautiful I am, and have that pregnancy 'glow'. Personally I think the ''glow'' is from my acne and wonderful shine and grease. beautiful right? but still the same he makes me feel amazing and boosts my self confidence.
Thankfully I haven't had any major food aversions. Fast food makes me sick, as well as carbonation, RI.P diet coke :( As far as cravings go, nothing crazy. I indulge in my otter pops, love fresh fruit, and absolutely love banana peppers. I could seriously buy a jar and eat the whole thing right now. I am always wanting a subway sandwich with a ton of them on there which the subway employees now know me by name and know they will be making me one of two sandwiches, spicy italian or the chicken breast. yum.
I have officially packed many of my clothes due to the new season change and no longer fitting me. I broke down and got maternity pants and shorts. After wearing my regular pants for about 15 minutes I have to unbutton them and feel like a fatty on Thanksgiving day.
I make it a point to ask clients if they have children hoping they will ask me so I can mention there is a baby growing in me and it's not from over eating.
I'm even more grateful now that we bought a king size bed to make room for the body pillow. My hips were beginning to hurt and cause me lack of sleep so now I spoon with my pillow each night while Ryan is left in the dust on his side. poor guy.
Only a few more weeks till we know the gender!! I have no clue whatsoever, not even an inkling so I'm even more anxious to find out. And in all honesty I really don't care what we have since I want a family of boys and girls anyway and just want to have a healthy happy baby. 4 months down, 5 to go till this little one arrives!
And yes you will notice there are no recent pictures of me in posts, it's not a mistake. I haven't taken one picture of myself since I've been pregnant, shame on me I know.
Aw, you should take *some* pictures. I don't always like pictures of my face during pregnancy, so I just crop my head off if I don't like it. I did that a LOT during Fitz's pregnancy - I had horrible acne/eczema. (But then it all cleared up completely within a week of his birth! Yay hormones!)
ReplyDeleteYo, fatty. You're having a boy. Acne on the mama = it's a boy. I'm 95 percent sure. The other 5 percent is hoping for a girl b/c Zooey needs a girl cousin her age to play Barbies with. You guys always gave me crap for not posting belly shots, so I think I have good reason for getting on your case. You have until week 37 to do something about it.
