26 Weeks

Today was.. Interesting. Started crying at the grocery store. More as to why later. 

I just had a dream though that I was in labor.

25 Weeks 6 Days

I don't think being pregnant is my thing. Some women love it, and I don't know maybe you have to actually go through the entire pregnancy first, and deliver, to really determine if you like it or not. Sure you don't have a period for nine months but there is a bunch of other stuff that you experience instead. I've had a pretty easy pregnancy, I believe, this far so I really can't complain.. But I feel like a giant blob even though I don't look like one. It's just so weird to think that there is a human growing inside of me.. It's kind of creepy. Anyway, those are my thoughts for tonight. Tomorrow makes 26 weeks!

24 Weeks 6 Days

Today I woke up and my legs, well thighs, are sore. The past two nights I have noticed swelling in my feet. Last night I had them elevated for two plus hours and the swelling seemed to go away, or down at least. I'm not sure why my thighs hurt. I read online that if your calves of thighs hurt along with swollen feet that you might have a blood clot, but my feet are not really swollen this morning. I think it was just the chair I was sitting in yesterday.

Yesterday I started work in the office for my dad's company, Ben's Appliance Service. My first task is to make name badges for everyone. I was able to get two done, and I will work on the other two today.

The weather the past few days has just been crazy. The weather the past few days has just been crazy. Thankfully this morning it is overcast and pretty cool out. It is only supposed to get to about 80 degrees today instead of 90 plus. Hopefully the cooler temperatures will help with my feet. I might not mind so much about swollen feet if they didn't hurt so much, and I didn't have a tattoo on my right foot. I am really hoping that the swelling will not stretch it out.

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.
