Well I've reached 24 weeks, and am feeling pretty damn good. A little nervous though, is this the calm before the storm? Maybe its the lack of wine (and yes, I miss my wine!), going to sleep at a decent hour on the weekends, or maybe I am just having an easy time. Whatever the reason, it has made this experience so much better. I will admit the first two months were a little rough. Although I never got sick, I definitely didn't feel good. But, I do have a few concerns... what the heck is going on with my feet? I looked down one day last week and literally teared up (and of course, Dave laughed and told me I was beautiful - liar!) Though its not cankles (which will be a BAD DAY if and when that happens), my feet are definitely swollen. Not every day though, that's the weirdest part. And no, I am not a salt-a-holic. In fact, I avoid salt most of the time. But I miss my feet. Not to brag, but I have (correction, had) cute, petite feet. Will they ever be normal again? I heard this weird myth that your feet grow when you're pregnant, but does this mean they stay bigger or do they go back to normal when you have the baby? I realize this is a ridiculous fear given what some woman go through, but its a serious fear for me! (Well, that and pooping on myself during delivery, but Ill get into that issue later!) And, they are seriously hurting me. I swear when I put on shoes I feel like screaming sometimes.
Now for the belly...is this thing going to stop growing anytime soon? No really, is it? I have been obsessed with comparing myself with other preggers, which is probably not a good idea. I think being short is making me look bigger than most, like I have a watermelon for a belly, and its scary to think I have another 3 or so months left.
Stay tuned people, Ill keep posting progress pics!
XOXO,
Courtney
Oh honey, you look amazing! However, I completely did that when I was pregnant, and bad news for me: I WAS bigger than everyone else. :/ sigh.
ReplyDeleteLu, so sorry for the delayed response! You're so sweet. Hope all is well. I love seeing pics of Mila and how much she is growing and changing every day. Such a beautiful family!
