i felt lots of little movements this week! just little nudges here & there that probably could be anything but i like to think it's baby. and i think it probably is.
my belly's still in that stage where it doubles by night time or after i eat. i posted this picture on instagram {are we instagram friends? let's be. @amy_agoodlife} & people couldn't believe how big my belly was. buuuuuut, that was after a tasty lunch of enchiladas at my favorite mexican restaurant so a little bit of food baby may be to blame. whattyagonnado? i still think the belly's getting bigger, even if the first-thing-in-the-morning-picture up above doesn't really portray it. ah well.
i've started my nightly ritual of slathering my belly up in cocoa butter in an attempt to prevent stretch marks. say what you will about stretch mark prevention but i beat the odds during my pregnancy with p-ray & used cocoa butter religiously so i'm doing it again. even if it means going to bed feeling like a tanning bed every night.
and yes! our BIG ultrasound got moved up a day due to scheduling conflicts by the doctor's office! huzzah! one less day of anticipation. i'm only a little bit overly excited.
round ligament pain has kicked in this week. i've found myself waking up a couple times in the night because i've turned in bed too quickly & my belly feels like it's being ripped apart. it's lovely. or a sneeze i'm not quite prepared for that sends stabbing pain into my abdomen. oh the things you forget about due to pregnancy amnesia. yay for that.
but overall i'm feeling pretty good & enjoying this fun stage of the second trimester. the part where everything is starting to feel real & you are enjoying the burst of energy & normalcy. i'm not super achy & my belly isn't slowing me down. but who knows? maybe i'll get lucky & it'll all stay this good for the next twenty-three weeks!
a girl can hope.
