24 Weeks 2 Days: Feeling Less Then Important

Today I asked Josh for breakfast in bed at 7:30 am. Did I get it? No.

I've been feeling this way pretty much all week. Tuesday he failed to let me know that he was stopping by Mr. Torre's after work to give him some fish, so I sat around waiting for a half hour plus. Then when he finally did get home he didn't even come upstairs to say hi, food was more important. Then on Wednesday I went to bed "early" and when I woke up around 11:30 pm he was downstairs talking to my dad and drinking wine. Did he come up to see me? No. I went downstairs and he acknowledged me but did he go back up with me? No.

24 weeks: Body Issues

So.. where to start? Alright, so at all my doctors visits until my latest, my weight gain has been "on track". I have read that you can expect to gain up to 5 pounds, or so, in your first trimester, and then about a pound a week after that. Well, my visits are 4 weeks apart, and at my last appointment on June 18, 2013 I had gained about 7 pounds. I know that is not such a big deal, but last night I made the mistake of stepping on the scale, thinking there would not be much change since it has only been a week since my last appointment.. boy was I wrong! There was a big jump, and  there is already a difference between my home scale and the doctors. So, last night I was feeling fat. When I found out I was pregnant I measured my belly and it was 36 inches. Last night I measured and my tummy is 42 inches. I am ok with the inch change, because I know that I am going to get bigger, and I still look relatively small for being more than half way through my pregnancy. But the weight gain.. I know I have to get heavier, but I do not want to gain more weight than needed. My doctor didn't show any concern over my weight gain, but at my next appointment they may. I have decided to start walking, everyday, for at least half and hour, and I am going to do my best to cut out sweets and junk food from my diet. Another reason for my body issues is that today I was looking at my hands, and they look a bit swollen.
