This baby boy of ours has given me a pretty easygoing
pregnancy! I feel lucky that I never got sick or had any complications (so far)
The only thing I had was few dizzy spells and an upset stomach from time to
time, very early in the pregnancy. For the most part it has been fun and easy.
Lately though it has been uncomfortable and I feel my body slowing down a lot.
I am used to go! go! go! but it seems to be no no no now! Not that I am
complaining, I have truly loved every minute of this little guy being warm and safe
inside me. I was very surprised when T mentioned that she will miss me being
pregnant, I think I will miss it too but so happy that he will be in our arms!
Room seems to be getting scarce in the tummy Inn. I can
actually see him move sometimes when looking at my belly! He seems to be on a
little schedule too- he wakes me up every morning with little kicks (I am
guessing he is hungry! I know I sure am!!) Then I feel him sometimes in the
afternoon here and there but not too much. At bedtime he is the most active, I
swear he is playing hacky sack with my insides! T thinks it is just amazing to
feel his tiny kicks. I love how she smiles and gets so happy when she feels
him! Brings joy to my heart every single time.
Side note on Rude people!
Before we started TTC (2 or 3 years before) I had lost A LOT of weight (over a 120lbs I lost) by the time we had got married I had put back on about 40-50 of those lbs but it never bothered me I was healthy and happy..so why would it??? T has always and will always make me feel like I am the most beautiful. I have put on some more lbs now that we are pregnant, not a crazy amount but I carry a lot of it in my face. I do feel I have a little belly, I have never been stick thin but I see a baby belly!! Well to make a long story short - when I was at my old office visiting, one of my co-works said "oh I thought you had just put back on all the weight you lost; I didn't even know you were pregnant- congratulations!" To me it was a little rude. I have always been ashamed of my size but as I grow up it is my health that comes first not my dress size!! My family is always bugging and asking me especially now that I am pregnant. Saying things like "have you gained a lot?" what is your weight now?" every conversation something to do with my weight comes up! My family is like that and always has been, thin = beauty to them!! This is one reason why I rarely speak to them! I do plan to drop a few lbs after our son is born but more for keeping up with a toddler and being a more healthy active me! I have no desire to be a size 0! ...Yes I look huge but to me it is worth it! I am a bigger girl who is pregnant and I show my baby pump off with pride and love! We are all people, we are all made up of the same things!! big, small, gay straight, short, tall, black, white it does not matter! I am a true believer in accepting people for who they are on the inside!
Hope everyone is having a great week! Peace and Positive vibes to everyone out in blog-World!

I think you look beautiful! Super cute bump! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteHow exciting that you can see baby boy move! I'm sure that's awesome to watch. So about the rude people... first, you do NOT look huge, not at all and you really shouldn't be made to feel that way when you're 26 weeks prego. Jerks. Second, as long as you're happy and like you said, healthy, that's all that matters. I've had to come to terms with my frame over the years and find peace and beauty in the fact that I too am not a size 0 and that's ok. I'm so glad to read that your wifey is super supportive. Every mother-to-be should have that kind of love and support. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies! :D You both are very lovely!
