Preggo Meg O. - Halfway There!

Uh, say whaaaaat? I'm halfway done with my pregnancy?

It feels like we were just finding out about Baby O! Well, I did find out about her at 9 weeks, so maybe why this seems like it's been so quick. I actually started feeling her kick this week! Greg felt her for the first time on Friday night. It's very slight. I don't know how to explain it.

I don't feel halfway pregnant. I've been so blessed to not be sick at all, except for being extremely congested and snoring at night (which is getting better). The pregnancy heartburn is starting to kick in, which is highly inconvenient in the middle of yoga class whilst doing a downward-facing dog. My body feels heavier, and -- NEVER in my life did I ever think I would say this! -- my boobs are getting way too big. I'm awkwardly pudgy in the middle, but not super pregnant looking. I think it depends on the clothes I wear.

And don't get me started on clothes. Getting dressed has every day has been a nightmare. I don't quite know how to do it. 2 weeks ago, everything stopped fitting, pants-wise. I've got a pair of shorts (those pictured above), two skirts, a heck of a lot of yoga pants, leggings, and dresses to get me through this transitional stage. I bought a few more dresses that will grow with me and can be dressed up for work. I love dresses anyway, so this is a win-win situation for me. I am going to go out and finally buy pants right before school starts in case I get bigger.

We also successfully registered, with the help of my BFF, Katie! Previously, Greg and I went to register, just the two of us, and we had no idea what we were doing. We walked around with that scanner thinga-majig going, "Well, there's about 504389274834 different types of bottles. Which one are we supposed to scan?" It was quite amusing. Luckily, Katie came to our rescue and helped us finish this past weekend.

One more thing. I'd like to mention how awesome my blog friends are. I got a nice little surprise from Amber in the mail this weekend.
Can we say adorable? She knows me too well - cupcakes and kitties!!
So, y'all need to go read Amber's blog if you haven't already. She is seriously one of the nicest girls ever, and just as sweet in real life! Thanks again, Amber! Love ya, girl!!


So, I guess this is what halfway there feels like. I haven't even started thinking about the upcoming school year or anything else of significant importance, aside from my baby. How am I going to do this when she finally graces the world with her presence?!

Aww, you're such a pretty mommy to be! Hope the heartburn gets better-- I don't know if you can take anything, but I have acid reflux disease and I take Prevacid which kicks its butt good! If that's safe to take, it may be worth a shot.

Alex said...

Ahh you're still so tiny!! I've seen other women like this [and by seen, I mean I've read about...Naomi from Rockstar Diaries] who were small for a long time then BOOM! Well, boom might sound a bit too violent, but you know what I mean. Suddenly she was huge! So maybe this will happen to you? So exciting!

Jessie said...

You look great! You know what saved.my.life when I was pregnant? The Bella Band!! Its just a stretching tube-top looking thing, but it allows you to wear your regular pants unbuttoned (and eventually unzipped hehe) without flashing anyone or having them fall down! I literally wore mine until the very end when I only fit into Blakes sweatpants. I got mine at target- http://www.target.com/s/bellaband

Registering is TORTURE! We honestly don't use half of what we registered for.

If I could be so bold as to suggest the most useful things we got? An Itzbeen timer. Look it up. BEST.THING.EVER. Because you will not remember like anything, so when you're trying to recall if you fed the kid two hours or two minutes ago? This thing kills.

I loved my swaddle blankets. Esp those with the velcro to make it super easy to swaddle. Wee 'Burb managed to bust through them a lot, but I never could wrap a burrito right, so I was hopeless.

Also the halo sleep sack. Best part? Zips from bottom to top. When you have a stage-5 poop in the middle of the night? You will want to make out with that zipper.

What we didn't use: bottle warmers, bottle cooler bags, and those sleep positioners.
