Elephant

I totally feel like an ELEPHANT! hahaha...

Even though I measure myself each week, the numbers don't seem to be increasing very much... but my belly feels HUGE! And so do my thighs! Hahaha! Strangely enough, I don't think my boobs have gotten any bigger. According to Tim, maybe it's because I "milk" myself. J/k.

I'm still lounging around a bit... but my feet and hands are slightly swollen. My ring HURTS to put on AND to take off...so I leave it off.

I purchased an exercise/birth ball the other day from TJMaxx... but I think it might be too soft. How soft/firm are they supposed to be?? I tried pumping it up with more air, but that doesn't seem to help...I think the plastic itself is just soft.

Today I go in for another appointment...I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh! Have had regular BM's all week. Nice! :)


This is how I still wear my "normal" clothes...

Look how far my belly is sticking out! My sister asked me if I'd be taking me pics of myself... Don't know yet. Maybe... it just takes some time and thought, and slight work... but then again, I guess I don't have TOO much to do...just wait...


See how big I am?!? Rolling over in bed is starting to get annoying...well, REALLY annoying. :)

Siiick...

So this past Saturday I discovered something that TOTALLY grossed me out... colostrum. Um, yeah. I don't think anyone mentioned this little tidbit to me... I even pulled out some of the pregnancy books that I have at home and NOTHING! No one mentions it. Sick sick sick...

Gone were the feelings of "this pregnancy thing is kind of cool" and back to those feelings of "WHAT have we done?!? This is disgusting!!"

Shopping for some extra "maternity" basics this weekend helped me get rid of SOME of those feelings... ugh. More posts soon (and maybe even pictures) about my cool finds...
