This week has also been a week of limitations. My back has decided that it has had enough of this pregnancy and is now hurting ALL THE TIME! I've had to get creative when it comes to eating because sitting at the table hurts and sitting on the couch eating at the coffee table hurts. So I now use my bump as a table as I sit in a reclined position.

So I decided to get Rory's take on the pregnancy and the baby. I created a little worksheet with a few questions and asked him to answer them. Here is what he came up with...

| Oh man, do I need a tan! |
How far along? 25 Weeks & 1 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 18 lbs (I've replaced my late night milk and oreo cookies with special K chocolatey delight cereal)
Maternity clothes? Some. I got another pair of maternity pants yesterday. I just couldn't bare to wear leggings again. With the warmer weather here, wearing leggings and a long cardigan is just not going to work anymore.
Stretch marks? Fingers are permanently crossed
Sleep: AWFUL! My back constantly hurts- I find a position that works and the slightest move or a nudge from the dogs and the pain comes back.
Best moment this week: Taking the maternity photos
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Sleep
Movement: OH YEAH! Baby moves all the time!
Food cravings: my Subway sandwich, and margherita pizza

Anything making you queasy or sick: fast food <----- Still
Symptoms: Well the leg/feet cramps seemed to have disappear, only to be replaced with constant back pain. The pain was so bad the other night that I went into a full meltdown and sobbed. It's also really uncomfortable to lean forward and putting on my socks and shoes is becoming a challenge.

Have you started to show yet: Um, yeah!
Gender prediction: Still think the baby is a girl. And apparently so does Rory!
Labor Signs: Nope! Thank God!
Belly Button in or out? In, but it's slowing making its way to the front.
Wedding rings on or off? On and really loose.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Both happy and frustrated.
Looking forward to: Going through all the maternity photos and picking some out for the house and the nursery.

ReplyDeleteWhich is funny because remember when I was a penguin for Halloween when I was pregnant with him? He's so silly!
