deep breath. in shock by that statement.
This week, Baby is the size of a Rutabaga. Now, for you other preggos out there, I know, I know, we are all shuffled around on what sized fruit Baby P is, but quite frankly, that's not what the pictures are for anyway. They are for that rapidly growing Baby Bump. And everything out there is saying she's roughly 2 pounds, when last week she clocked in at 2.2 at our Ultrasound appointment.
I want to add that I LOVE LOVE LOVE these maternity pants, they are my go to professional/work pants. I got them at Destination Maternity, they are Motherhood Maternity brand, $34 full price. But to have them for work is priceless. Washer/Dryer friendly, and figure friendly.
Movement: All I can say is Wow. You can officially begin to decipher body parts flying across my mid-section. She must be in there doing Mouse-rcise or something because this baby literally NEVER SLEEPS. There is always something going on in there, and I wish I knew what it was about the inside of my belly that's so fascinating.
And for those that aren't aware of Mousercise or didn't get excited to accidentally wake up at 5:30 AM when it came on, this is what you were missing as a child:
Oh, and Baby P gets the Hiccups at least once a day. Sometimes they are so strong it gives me the same feeling as if I had a case of the hiccups.
Wedding Rings: So incredibly bizarre, but they are still literally falling off of me.
Back pain: Getting bad. Especially my left side just beside my back bone. I'm just hoping that it's not related to my minor scoliosis and that it doesn't continue to get worse.
Innie or Outie: I think my belly button is what gives away that I'm not just fat. You can definitely see it through most shirts I wear. It may sound weird, but I think my belly button that is sticking out (not 100% all the way out yet) is cute and I cannot stop touching it. lol. Yeah, that does sound weird.
Cravings: Still Candy. Our leftovers from Halloween are rapidly diminishing. I haven't had any wayyy out there cravings really. And everyone I've talked to that is having or has had a baby admits to the husband/significant other doing late night runs for food, or whatever. 2/3 of the way through, and that still hasn't happened. Likely just jinxed Kevin. He has voluntarily surprised me with an evening run to the store before, but by no means encouraged or provoked.
Missing anything: I know most of you would think, obviously Elyse would miss her wine, and of course beer on gamedays. Oddly, this just isn't the case. I'm enjoying my newfound weekend morning clarity, though I cannot wait to have a glass [or bottle] of red wine again. And I do miss Sushi very, very, very badly. AND certain types of cheeses on my favorite salads.
Exercise: It took a while, but I now have Kevin officially on schedule with my walks with the dogs every morning. No more talking me out of it, or skipping (to which I threaten to take them alone). Since the dog walks are not sufficient enough, My routine switches from going back out to walk or a prenatal workout DVD.... which I'll try to write about in a future post.
