Yesterday I had another doctors appointment, and when I stepped on the scale I almost died. I did such a good job this year of not over-eating at Thanksgiving, not too mention that I still go to spinning classes and I generally eat pretty darn healthy. So when the scale told me I've gained SEVENTEEN pounds so far, I couldn't believe it! I am almost 6 months along, and I've already gained 17 pounds?! Yikes! Well I guess I'm okay with it because my baby boy is healthy, that's all that matters. He's always moving and kicking, what an active little boy I have! I love it!
I'm getting to the "can't ever get comfortable" stage of the pregnancy. Sitting through a movie is a challenge now, I'm always squirming and moving and trying to be comfortable. And bending over to put on my shoes is starting to get difficult! What a bad time for boots, flip flops would be perfect when you're pregnant! But that's the worst of it right now, so compared to the beginning of the pregnancy it's a breeze!
Now we're just getting ready for Christmas. We knocked out the majority of our Christmas shopping this weekenend, and even wrapped about half of the presents already! We put up our Christmas lights outside and I finished all the Christmas decorating inside. Listening to Christmas music has made all the storms and snow so much more bearable for me. And don't judge us, but we decided not to get a Christmas tree this year. It's our last Christmas without any kids, and the hassle of getting a tree and all that comes with it didn't seem worth it this year. Our plan is to get a nice, fake, pre-lit tree on a 75% off sale after Christmas, so starting next year it won't be so much work!
We recently (before all the snow hit) had pictures taken in the fall leaves. I'll post those soon, along with a 24 week picture!
She (my Dr.) said that I jumped a little higher then average this appointment, and that from here on out I should gain a pound a week. Which is hard to control! I know I really need to relax about it. I'm doing better as I go, as long as I stay off the scale I FEEL fine. How are you feeling, have you been sick??
