30 Weeks!!


That's me @ 30 weeks! Saying that Im 30 weeks doesnt sound that bad. Until you look to the right and see that ticker on how many days are left. I cant tell you because I stopped looking. It kind of induces a panic attack~!
Still feeling good & doing the usual - walking about 3 miles per day. I think I really need to start doing some arm exercises too though - sausage arms freak me out!
The scale & I had a serious breakup! Im up 17 lbs now - I really would like to stick to the 25 lb weight gain total, but we shall see. I can definately tell you where the pounds came from though because I AM HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!! I mean seriously HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. Im not sure if you catch my drift, but I cant go more than 2 hours without eating & it's not like a little snack will hold me over. I need like 6 MEALS a day. I am eating well though and not eating junk, so should I really be gaining that much weight?! Who knows. I want a sundae.
I've also started bi-weekly appointments with my midwife, so I guess that means we are getting close!
My belly button is still pretty freaky although it hasnt totally popped yet. Here's a hot belly pic shot!

28 Weeks!!


This is funny... on the left is me @ 18 weeks & the right is me this morning @ 28 weeks in the same exact outfit.

I was just a little impressed I could still button those regular jeans and that top is one of those extra long tank tops, which is now a hot belly shirt on me.
Oh & this is me from the front today:

Please dont freak out...I didnt wear this outfit in public. I changed before leaving the house.

Welcome to the BIG show!!

Hello 3rd Trimester! Hello big ol' belly!


Me @ 27 weeks, 2 days:

Lord help me...I think my belly is bigger today.

How far along? 27 weeks (beginning of 7 th month & 3rd trimester!!!)
Total weight gain? 12 lbs (gulp) - as of monday. I havent weighed myself since getting back from FL. Im more than a little frightened to since my belly looks even bigger. Although I ate really well and didnt even go to Sonic or Steak 'n Shake or Krispy Kreme. It was pure torture really.
Maternity clothes? If me wearing the same thing in every picture isnt a tip off, then I dont know what is.
Stretch marks? not yet
Sleep? Getting worse. Some nights are really bad & I think I wake up with a bigger belly. I have to wake up in order to roll over plus the peeing = me waking up atleast 4-5 times per night.
Food Craving? ice cream, milkshakes
Labor signs? nope. still not liking the Braxton Hicks though
Belly Button? Getting creepier by the day. I would recommend not seeing me because I totally show my creepy belly button to people. Its like half flipped out.
What I miss? being able to bend over
What I'm looking forward to? i dont now. all i see ahead right now is getting fatter, which really isnt something to look forward to!
Weekly Wisdom: Never sit next to the fat guy on a plane
Milestones: Last trimester!!
