I feel: stupid saying this, but I still feel really good! It’s so nice to be out of the tired/sick trimester and back to normal.
Happy or Moody: I’m still pretty calm and happy, much less stressed now that the holidays are over. A few things agitate me a little more easily than that might normally, but I’m only human ; )
Showing: I’m telling you, this belly is growing over night. And yes, I really that it is, in fact, growing over night, but it’s kind of insane. Even Michael has been looking at me some days and goes, “WHOA.”
Maternity Clothes: Officially owned, not officially worn. I wore a tighter top this week (pictured) and the belly button (still an inny) shows through a bit. I guess it’s time to retire the tighter pre-pregnancy tops.
Exercise: I went to the gym! Claps for me! Rigby and I started with a short (and I do mean short, like maybe .25 miles if I’m lucky) jog, and then I went to the YouFit across the street from the new place. Quite the upgrade from what I’m used to. Two days after 30 minutes of weight training, and I’m still a little sore = SUCCESS!
Miss Anything: Medium rare burgers and steak. Only 17 more weeks! ; )
Anything make you sick/queasy: Nope.
Movement: Yes! She still is showing the same active patterns, and last night while we were laying down watching Shameless (new favorite), we even got to see it a little! I can’t wait for the movements to be bigger and more often so I can record it.
Excited for: upcoming trips – Michael and my getaway to St. Augustine the weekend of my birthday, and traveling with my mom and my sister to Ohio the last weekend of the month for my grandma’s 90th.
Favorite Moment of the Week: Finishing the shower invites! Can’t wait to send them out. Once they have a few days to be delivered I may just preview them on here. After all, they do have Baby M’s name on them.
Just wanted to say thank you to you all for hanging in there during my time of procrastination. Even my aunt texted me thinking she missed a post because I am so behind. But OF COURSE it was my plan all along to give you a double feature (Weeks 22 & 23)… Not.
My glucose test is Wednesday, and I’m beyond nervous to suck down that fruit punch flavored syrupy drink in less than 5 minutes. But it is nice to have the check up so close since the last one (just 2 1/2 weeks ago we confirmed Baby M’s gender!). There is nothing more reassuring than a positive check up. It’s absolutely crazy to think that a month from now we will be in the 3rd trimester with only 13 weeks left to go. The time is seriously flying, and I am so excited and proud of how quickly things are coming together!
