6 months already!
Wow I can’t believe that I am already 6 months pregnant, it has gone by so quickly. I am still bigger than most girls that are 6 months along but I feel a bit more at ease with my belly being so big because I know I only have 16 weeks left to go. Not to mention the update I pasted below from American Baby says my uterus is the size of a soccer ball right now so that was nice to read because that’s about what it feels like. I continue to feel great other than this stinking HEAT…holy cow it’s so HOT. I am not dealing with the heat all that well but otherwise I feel awesome. Mike teases me that he sleeps in a wind tunnel because we have 1 ceiling fan, 3 floor fans and the air conditioning running all night. He sleeps with covers and I don’t for once in our marriage. He says he has to tuck in the sides of the sheet so he doesn’t blow away =) It’s funny now but I am not laughing at night when I can’t sleep. Even with all the fans I have to wet a towel in cold water to lie over my belly just to be comfortable.
Mike and I got our registry done and are super excited about it. We registered at Babies R Us and it took 3 hours, it was a bit overwhelming with all the options but we finally got through it all and are now more excited than ever about the baby. For some reason that made it so real because for the first part of the pregnancy I was just enjoying being pregnant and not really thinking all that much about the baby part of it just enjoying the pregnancy and her growing inside me. Don’t get me wrong I am still very much enjoying that part of it but now I am thinking about holding her and changing her diaper and feeding her and seeing Mike and the kids with her and all that stuff I hadn’t really thought too much about. Now I know what the stroller and pack n play look like and I can totally visualize her in all the items it’s very cool. Her room is getting painted Aug 25th-26th so when it’s done I will send some pictures. I have still been doing pretty good eating healthy and have been 100% consistent working out everyday even in this heat I walk for 1 hour everyday with my friend Aimee and Mike has joined us a few times and admits it’s a killer walk because it’s 98% uphill. Some days I get so swollen I have to soak in a cold bath when I get home just so I can make a closed fist and feel my feet. I am also working out in the gym 3-5 days a week lifting weights and doing my aerobics classes but my belly hangs out of my workout shirts now so I look a bit silly but in this heat I don’t really give a rip. I have been craving the pizza still and for some reason DONUTS sound like heaven. Even in this heat a donut sounds better than ice cream and I am not sure why I have never been a big donut fan but ohhh baby lately I have been wanting to get my hands on some Krispy Kreme glazed donuts nothing fancy just the glaze…People think I have a pregnancy glow but really it’s just the left over glaze from the donuts =)
Love to All….Summer & Savannah
