Flutters have turned into kicks and popping has turned into punches. This week baby is making their presence known! As a result, I'm finally feeling pregnant.
I'm also already feeling myself start to struggle with day-to-day life. Sore legs, back and hips, exhaustion from doing the smallest of tasks... I never had this issue with John until much later in my pregnancy. But then when I compare my size to that of my last pregnancy, I'm around the same size I was at 35 weeks already. I'm wondering if my size will plateau at some point soon or if I'm going to end up double the size this time around.
On a more positive note, I've started buying some little bits & pieces for this new little one -- namely some new itty bitty sleepsuits. It's strange looking at how small these outfits are and trying to remember John being that small -- it's all just a distant memory now. My wee boy is all grown up already. Time need to slow down -- it'll be 40 weeks and we'll be welcoming our new addition before we know it.

Congrats Mama! :) You look amazing and I bet its tough chasing around a little toddler and being pregnant- but you can do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! Chasing John around is certainly exhausting but life can't just stop because I'm feeling weary! But I'll get my pay back with early morning wake up calls come the teenage years!
DeleteWow! 22 weeks already?? Its flying by, you look great :)

I can't believe it either, Kerry! I seem to be flying past the half way mark at record speed. I hope you're well.
