Write a new blog

My mood while writing this blog: Ok |
So my waist was 26 inches when all of this started. Up until mid-february, it was still 26 inches. I haven't measured it yet, but all of the size 2's and 4's have been folded up and put away, and my size 6's and 8's have been taken out of their boxes, where I only packed them away a year ago. My hips are bigger too, which is fine by me, there wasn't much there to begin with, along with my behind. I think it's so funny, everyone wants to keep their boobs with the baby. I want to keep my tush. My breasts have gone from a 32D to a 34DD and if they grow any bigger I won't even be able to wear the maternity shirts! Some of which I can't wear now.
I actually put on a pair of maternity jeans yesterday. It was so nice not to have to fiddle with a rubber band, and undo them every time I sit down. It's worth it, even if they are a little big!
If Omar and I are really quiet right when we lay down, we can see the "little bean" actually move now. I've been feeling the somersaults and kicks for a couple of weeks now, but it's a totally different experience to actually SEE that movement, no more different than seeing our own heartbeat. We are completely fascinated by what's going on inside of me, and I devour information, which I relay to him every evening.
I was considering doing a pregnancy journal, but in all honesty, I think that if I did, I would be disappointed come subsequent pregnancies. I had no morning sickness, I (so far) have no swelling, no crazy skin color changes, no food cravings (if anything I could probably have MORE of an appetite). It's as though the hormones aren't going quite as nuts with me. (Or maybe I'm just nuts=D). So...back to earlier, I believe that if I were to write a journal/diary about this experience, I would be very disappointed come the next pregnancy, especially if I have all of the symptoms, times 10. A little bit of a blog won't hurt now and then, though.
I feel the urge to lay out now, just to tan my legs at least, because I think dresses are so much more practical, but I'm SO too white to wear them.
So anyway, that's all for now, when I measure my waist tonight or tomorrow, I'll be sure to put up the difference. I don't think it's much, as I've only gained like 8 lbs, put who knows...we'll see!
