Mmmm…I am just a little behind in my pregnancy journal. Actually way behind! Since my last update at 21 weeks life has been a little crazy to say the least. J got pretty sick with Strep Throat the week before we left for holidays then when we got back he got it AGAIN! We visited the Children’s Hospital more than I care to remember. Then it was the hubby’s turn. He has been sick for the last week. So my priorities have been elsewhere and blogging took a back seat once again in my life.
But finally things are starting to look up in our household and my men seem to be on the mend now. J is pretty much back to himself and the hubs is just about there. But through all the germs and yucky bugs running rapid in my house I managed to stay healthy. Thank goodness because being sick and pregnant is not my first choice!
Since my last post my belly has done some growing!
How Big is the Baby?
Little man is about the size of a cauliflower now weighing about 2lbs and approximately 15 inches long. It feels like it too! He is pretty active now and moves around a lot. I feel rolls, kicks and punches and sometimes they hurt!
How I’m Changing
Well the belly is much bigger. I also think my boobs got just a little bigger as well..ugh! I feel pressure down low sometimes during the day and need to sit down and relax. I am carrying pretty darn low this time. I pee A LOT now….when he moves a certain way I also find that I need to make a quick trip to the washroom. He must use my bladder as a pillow or punching bag or something!! I am up at least 3 times a night to visit the washroom…it is exhausting!
How I’m Feeling
Actually I am feeling pretty darn good. I still get tired from time to time. But really this pregnancy has been really good so far. I passed my Gestational Diabetes test just fine and at my last check up I was measuring on target and his heartbeat was good and strong. My weight gain has not been dramatic but it is up there a little so far I have gained 19 pounds. My doc was not worried about it at all and really neither am I to tell you the truth.
I am trying hard to eat as healthy as possible. I have been juicing every morning and have had no real cravings lately. However, my sweet tooth can still get the best of me at times. Like right now I am sitting here munching on Kernels Caramel Popcorn as I type this post 
Oh however, I am still loving Organic Skim Milk big time. I usually have two big glasses every day.
Odds and Ends
We have now painted the accent wall in the nursery and we are slowly but surely getting it going. I have purchased a bookcase and some curtains so that is the next thing to assemble and put up. I have also ordered the closet organizer and it gets installed next week. After that we just need to set up the crib and just put the room together. I will post pictures once it starts to look more like a nursery. Right now it is just a mess!
Also I turn 40 next week! We have a Birthday BBQ planned for next weekend with some close friends and family…..I can’t wait.
