20 Weeks...half way


Well, this week has been a crazy one. Ever since last week I have begun to feel so much more pregnant. Here are the new things...
  • It is getting harder to bend over because my tummy is starting to get in the way. When I painted my toes last week my belly hurt after from leaning on it.
  • I feel Camden moving soo much and Wesley can now feel his little kicks. It is the greatest feeling in the world. We also talk to him non stop! I just love my little boy.
  • I have pretty much grown out of all my clothes, the only thing normal (not maternity) that still fits is a pair of jeans I recently bought in a size bigger than normal. But I don't know how long those will last.
  • I discovered that Ross has great maternity clothes, I found a fab pair of pants I can wear to work for only $2.49...amazing clearance!
  • Announcing that we are having a boy was like telling our moms GO! in a big race. Two days after we told them, they both show up with bags full of clothes for Camden. I am pretty sure he already has more clothes than Wes, and waaay more clothes than the clothes I have that fit me right now. He is going to be one loved baby boy, and the first time grandmas are so excited to spoil him.
  • My back and hips get sore just about every day, especially if I have been standing for a long period of time, I can tell I need to obey the pregnancy rules and sit and put your feet up at the end of the day.
  • I have been peeing twice as much as the first trimester, and Wesley thinks it is funny to see how long I can wait in between bathroom breaks...not long.
  • When I take a nap my body falls into such a deep sleep that I drool. I know, super gross, and I have never drooled in my life until now...but only during my naps. Haha!
  • I can always fall asleep really well, but a few nights I wake up for my nightly bathroom trip and have a hard time getting back to sleep.
  • I dream a weird dream about every night.
  • I can finally eat healthy meals, and I haven't been craving junk food. Grilled chicken and spinach salad, here I come!
  • I have gained a total of 12 pounds (eek!)
  • I absolutely LOVE being pregnant, but I dream about holding my sweet little Cam and can not wait to love on him...he will be smothered in kisses as soon and I see him!

So that is what this week has looked like. It is so fun. Hopefully this next week doesn't have as many new things, I think it might wear me out!

Love,
Mo
