How far along?
26 weeks, 1 day
Maternity clothes?
Returned the saggy maternity jeans for a few more pairs that fit better. They're so comfortable! I may dedicate an entire post to why maternity pants are awesome!
Stretch marks?
Don't want to jinx it but...still none!
Sleep?
I try to sleep in every chance I get. It takes me a while to get comfortable sometimes, but for the most part I'm done for once my head hits the pillow.
Best moment this week?
Today was probably full of this week's best moments. I spent all day with Daniel; we slept in, had breakfast together, and went to a movie. Some other not so great things happened but they just served to prove that he'll always be there for me when I really need him.
Food cravings:
Monterrey's cheese steak with rice and an order of mild cheese dip!
Belly button in or out?
It has all but disappeared, but it hasn't started to poke out at all. (Same as last week.)
Movement?
The little lady has apparently taken to tap dancing here lately.
What I miss?
I miss people understanding what personal space is.
What I’m looking forward to:
Holding our little girl! (I feel like this will be my answer for a little while.)
Milestones:
I can't think of anything really. Other than the myriad of aches and pains I'm feeling lately...

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Since I'm feeling good today, I figured I would treat you all to an update! I feel guilty for not being as regular about it as I would have hoped, but I guess late is better than never! Picture of mommy coming soon.

How far along?
25 weeks exactly!
Maternity clothes?
I'm pretty much officially out of jeans, but the maternity pants I bought are too saggy in the front and butt. Guess I'm at a weird in between stage. I've been wearing my jeans up under my big ol' belly. I feel sloppy if I wear sweat pants every day! Just me?
Stretch marks?
STILL none, and praying none pop up!
Sleep?
Every morning it gets a little harder to roll out of bed. (I blame the cold weather than has suddenly come upon us.) Getting to sleep doesn't seem to be much of a problem though.
Best moment this week?
This has been a really rough couple of weeks for me, emotionally, so it's hard to pick a moment. Every moment with my husband is pretty much perfect.
Food cravings:
McDonald's, pizza (from anywhere really), and Snickers!
Belly button in or out?
It has all but disappeared, but it hasn't started to poke out at all.
Movement?
Zooey picks very specific times during the day when she wants to dance. Early morning and late at night, when she knows we're settling into bed. Then there are times when I move the wrong way or I start to do too much that she gives me a little nudge.
What I miss?
This will still sound ridiculous, but I miss being my normal size. And I miss being treated like a person and not just a walking belly/baby factory.
What I’m looking forward to:
Holding our little girl!
Milestones:
Getting that weird brown line on my belly and swelling every freaking where. Does that count?
