Let the fun begin....

And so 27 weeks have arrived....the end of the second tri and the start of the 3rd. With that of course comes lots of fun....I don't bend in the middle anymore. I have seen some swelling in my ankles, yesterday I had pitting edema after a long car drive...lovely. My clavicles are slowly disappearing. My internal furnace is gearing up right in time for summer. Sleeping sucks...rolling over sucks. My pubic symphysis likes to moan and creak and send sharp pains through my body with 90% of my movements. My hormones are in high gear. I'm proud to say I am still working out 5 days per week, although I have no clue what good i am accomplishing as the weight continues to pile on at a rapid rate. I'm going to keep going maybe I will be rewarded after delivery with a very fast recovery....who knows. Everyday the girls say your belly is getting really big mom. Everyday, Emma likes to poke on what she calls my "button button" which is my fully reversed belly button and says silly things to my belly. I'm going to have a massage tomorrow thanks to the very lovely J who I think feels my stress and pain or perhaps just wants me out of the house cause I am a crazy prego woman.....
I actually got over my paranoia enough to buy the kiddo a little outfit on clearance at Old Navy and a fuzzy white blanket...miracle upon miracle, nothing bad has happened. Perhaps I should prepare a bit more, only 5000 more things to buy. That is about all for now...enjoy the photos. And btw, not as psycho or depressed as I may sound above...I am actually quite mentally stable and happy =).

She is a growin.....

26 weeks done. Nothing much to report. Lots of soccer going on around here taking up lots of time. A pic of the old belly this morning for your viewing pleasure...

Here is last weeks which I never got around to posting. 25 weeks.

Going to a medical conference in town on Thursday and Friday which sadly I am excited about not because I am going to learn something, but because it is as close to a vacation as I have gotten to lately. Sad, very sad. Anyway, that is all, have a lovely day.

Up close and personal with the belly...24 weeks

Have officially made it to 24 weeks which is a significant milestone in my pediatrican head. And to celebrate such an occasion...a lovely photo of my belly. Perhaps some day I will get creative enough to post something else besides the lovely belly pics, but for now that is all you get. Oh...maybe I will post a side note since something just popped into my head. Actually watched 2 movies that I enjoyed. Haven't watched anything decent in awhile...maybe that is because someone always wants to watch war movies and they aren't my thing...but anyway watched "seven pounds" and tonight I watched "what happens in Vegas" liked them both. Seven pounds wasn't terribly realistic but I enjoyed it a lot. What happens in Vegas was incredibly cheesy and cliched but I liked it anyway. Or maybe I liked them both cause I just enjoy gazing at both Will Smith and Ashton Kutcher...hmmmmm. Anyway...back to the belly, enjoy and have a lovely day.
