If you've been around this blog long, you know that I love a good comparison picture. Just like the last update, the pictures are L-R: Emmy, Nora, current belly. I was obviously the smallest with Emmy. I feel like I am a crazy amount bigger now than I was with Nora, but in pictures- they look much more similar. One thing is for sure, my back fat keeps growing faster with each pregnancy! Yikes.
- Weight gain? Ugh, yes. Every pregnancy I tell myself i'm going to do better in the weight department. +20lbs at 24weeks.
- Stretch marks? None that I can see :)
- Belly button? Sticking out more and more every day. It will be an outie soon.
- Sex? Of baby? Not interested in finding out. The other kind? Not interested in that either.
- Cravings? Sleep and anything that is not sweet or carb loaded. Eating has not been very fun this pregnancy, very different from Emmy and Nora.
- Latest hormonal outburst? A few fights with the hubs last week. I told him if he'd just agree with me then we'd be good to go. I admitted I wasn't always right, but that it was his duty as the non-hormonal person to turn the other cheek. How about that for deflection of responsibility???
- Vomiting? Just a few times so far, all as a result from my gag reflex and brushing my teeth.
- Feeling prepared? Yes and no. We have all the gear, but I'd say it's a little early for nesting and feeling prepared.
- Names? Wilson "Will" for boy, Evelyn "Evie" for girl- pronounced with a long E on the nickname.
- Random pregnancy side effects? I am such a light sleeper this pregnancy. I slept great the past 2 nights up at my parents house b/c Chris and I were sleeping separately, but now that we are back at home I've gone back to waking up each and every time he moves in bed.
- Maternity Clothes? Yes. Although I've gained roughly the same amount of weight as previous pregnancies, my belly is so much bigger.
- Work? Yes, will work up to D-Day.
- Horrifying picture? No, b/c I'm pretty much a pro at not having pictures taken of my arms and face during pregnancy. I was like this with Emmy and I've remained pretty consistent!
- Funny for the week, or funniest comment from an "outsider" this week: I guess this happened about 2 weeks ago, but a TSA guy told me "Congrats, mama" as I was standing in the millimeter wave scanner (which exposes you to thousands of times less energy than making a cell phone call). I thought it was bold of him to say it, but then again made me realize that I was finally looking pregnant and not fat. Either way, it made me happy.
Are your boobs bigger too? They look bigger than in the other photos :-).
