Week 29

This post and the picture were taken a little late, Im just about 30 weeks today. We have been so busy with Christmas. I have been home pretty much just to sleep.

Week 29 was good though. I dont have to much to complain about. My belly has gotten HUGE! I swear it popped out over night. Its getting harder to breath. My back is hurting so bad.

The baby is moving so much now. I use to just be able to feel kicks. Now I can feel him rolling around when ever he is awake. He has been attacking my bladder and I swear its going to pop one of these days. I am going to the bath room about every 30 minutes through out the whole day.

Last week I realized how fast things are flying by. It dawned on me that I have about 10 weeks before Im going to get to take care of this little guy. Im freaking out because I dont have things ready and Im not quite sure what I have to buy. My plan is to make a list of everything left to get, register and wait tell the baby showers are done. Then I can get the things I dont have. Is that the best way to do it? Or should I go get some stuff now...

I think my belly button keeps getting higher the bigger I get. It looks way out of place:)

Week 28

Im officially in the 3rd trimester!! I want the 2nd to be back, it went by way to quick. I am feeling really tired and a little nauseous again. Work has slowed down a bit and I am just fine with it because I need the breaks.

For symptoms: *dry skin! I cant believe how much lotion I have to use and I am still dry.* Big boobs!! I am kind of liking this one, its fun to fill out my shirts, but I went to buy some pregnancy shirts and I didn't fit into my regular size because my boobs were to big. I cant say I have ever had that problem when shopping. I wonder if they will go back to normal size when I'm not prego.*stuffy nose *leg cramps * Swelling, my feet have started to swell by the end of the day * Back pain, this just started bugging me last week. My back is so bad I want to cry by the end of the day. * Numb leg, I know I read this is normal to have but its really freaks me out to have one of my legs numb.

All in all everything is going really well. The baby is still really healthy and strong. My belly has finally started to show, people are asking me if Im pregnant:)

Here some pics of me at week 28

26 Weeks

One word for everyone, TIRED!!

OK so the 2nd trimester did not last long enough. All of this amazing energy and feeling great is gone. I'm back to feeling like I'm in the 1st trimester again. But instead of the nausea I cant bend over and move very well due to my expanding stomach.

Last week was super hard on me. I have been so tired, getting horrible calf cramps in the middle of the night, tearful, hungry, and super dizzy. Have any of you had that or heard of this? I don't think I have read about this symptom in books but its pretty bad. Especially when I am doing hair, there has been a few times where I am about to faint and have to take a break. I'm not sure if I need to be eating more or not standing on my feet as much. But I hope this one goes away soon. I don't want to be passing out while giving a hair cut:)

On a more positive note my favorite thing of being pregnant right now is feeling and watching the baby move. Cody will talk to my stomach and he will start kicking all around. I LOVE IT:)

I often find myself wondering what life is going to be like being a mom. Its really crazy how in three months I will have a son to take care of. I have always want to be a mom, I have dreamed of raising a family with lots of kids running around. Now that its coming reality I'm not really sure what I'm suppose to do. I'm not really sure how to be a mom. I have read a lot of books and everyone of them is completely different. I'm hopping I can take what Ive learn from growing up, watching other parents and talking with friends. I hope I will be a good mom and raise strong happy kids

Why?

Sometimes I wonder why people say the things they say:)

A few weeks ago I had a client come in and she asked me how pregnancy was going ect. Then she says well you look great! You are carrying him very well. You have just gained a little weight right here (as she grabs her love handles) Other than that you look really good.

All I could think was Kara don't be rude don't kick her in the face for saying that. I'm sure she didn't mean it in a rude way.

Now I am self conscious of my lovehandles, stupid lady!

FYI dont tell a pregnant lady she is gaining weight anywhere, she may hurt you:)
