26 weeks
Well I have not written for few weeks. Oops. However, not too much has changed. I am getting noticeably bigger, and it is more difficult to bend over. But I am still feeling good! She has been active, especially at night. I haven't felt any hiccups from her, but her kick is more prominent and I can tell the difference between a kick and a flop.
Matt and I have started to work on her room. It has been fun getting it together. So far the crib is up, we have some bedding, have the dresser/changing table,and a few clothes that have come from friends and family. We also have a jogging stroller and car seat. Picking the big stuff out was stressful for me. There is so much out there in all different price ranges and it is overwhelming. I got really hot and all blotchy while looking at strollers and car seats. I was way stressed out. Luckily, I have an amazing husband and he told me to just sit and relax and he will figure it out.
Let's see, what else... Oh yes, I went through my closet to get things that I cannot fit into right now out of the way. That was pretty sad. NONE of my jeans fit , but that's how it is supposed to be, right?Some of my shirts are too short, and even my bras are getting snug now. Oh, you'll love this, I had one pair of jeans that semi fit (well they buttoned) and I say HAD because I no longer have them, anyway they went on and were buttoned (tightly), I got excited and bent over to pick up a hanger and....RIP!!! That sound women fear and dread. My pants had split in the crotch. I tore them off walked to the hallway and threw them. I was laughing and crying, I'm not sure if the tears were from laughing at the thought that I had just ripped my crotch out while bending over, or crying because I had just ripped my once "a bit too big" pants. All the while Matt is in the hallway saying " can you cut them to make shorts or something" trying to be helpful, it was cute. But, honey, you don't want me wearing shorts that split at the crotch, my hoo-haw would be out there for the world to see. It was a funny but very eye opening moment. My body no longer is just my body.
I am walking, talking, and moving for two. I have two heartbeats, and that is a miracle. While I was at the gym today I was watching her wiggle a bit inbetween reps, and I realized I only have 14 weeks left to share my body with her, then it's just mine again. And I will miss feeling her and watching her be part of me.
I will strive to get my post pregnancy body back, and whether or not I get it back, I am so very grateful to have shared my body for 40 weeks with my little girl.
