I do want to look back some day and remember how this pregnancy has gone. I'm currently at 28 weeks and am amazed at how fast time has gone. I haven't gotten anything ready for the baby, I'll think about it after Christmas. There's not much to prepare since I already have all boy stuff. Just mental preparation and to prepare Levi. Levi helps me out when I babysit his friend Carson, so I think he will be a great helper when the baby comes. Levi is so cute and says "baby" and pats my belly.
I feel great. I had a few episodes of nausea before I knew I was pregnant (that's how I suspected I was pregnant in the first place). But no vomiting or sickness at all. I try to exercise a few times a week and I'm so busy with Levi that I hardly know I'm pregnant. I am starting to get a big belly. I can still wear my normal clothes, which is good because only have one pair of maternity pants. I haven't even wore my maternity shirts yet. I'm really trying not to gain as much weight as I did last time. I just have to go easy on the sweets, which I have been horrible at lately because of all the holiday baked goods people give us.
I don't have any edema (swelling) yet, I'm just waiting for this to happen. I haven't really even had heartburn yet, though I did buy some tums so I'm prepared. I have started sleeping with a pillow under my belly, it's way more comfortable but yet a hassle to switch the pillow around every time I roll over. I do get up about 3 times a night to use the restroom and have for a few months now. I've just gotten to the point that I have to push my belly up to see the very bottom of it. The only other thing that has changed is Adrian says I'm a bit more moody, particularly grumpy and mean. Which I have actually noticed I do get irritated more often than normal lately.
I have no complaints (which is good because nobody wants to hear them). I have been so blessed to have easy uncomplicated pregnancies. The hardest part so far seems to be coming up with possible names to give this kiddo!
You are so small and cute Tammy! I'm so excited for you guys!
