1. Felt the baby move for the first time on December 18th.
Update: You never stop moving - I joke that you'll be born 40 inches long. I feel your bum on the right side and your feet on the left side and I'm not entirely convinced that you aren't using my hips as punching bags.
2. Wearing all maternity pants now but still proud to say I can wear my regular pants.....just not comfortably.
Update: Everything I wear is maternity. If I put on anything that's not maternity my stretch mark covered belly hangs out and the shirt bunches at the bottom. I'm still excited to say that I'm only up 13 pounds!
3. Hungry all the time.
Update: Still hungry all the time but rarely can I eat a full meal. I eat a little and then finish my meal 30 minutes later. You have officially taken over my entire midsection.
4. The place where I had my belly button pierced when I was 18 is once again visible! LOL! I wonder if my innie will turn into an outtie?
Update: My innie is an outtie sometimes. Every night at 9:30 you start to squirm up a storm. If you position your bum just right you pop my belly button right out! I didn't know where my belly button ended before you came along.
5. Feeling really great. The exhaustion is completely gone.
Update: The exhaustion is back and has been for about a month and a half. I nap in the afternoons when I can. I don't sleep well at night. I constantly toss and turn. I wake up a couple times a night to go the bathroom and usually discover that my legs and/or arms are asleep. I typically trip and catch myself on the wall. I'm scared of the day I miss the wall and just fall flat on my rear. I also hurt all over. My tail bone hurts and so do my hips. It hurts the worst when you start kicking up a storm.
6. I wouldn't say I've got cravings but I'm always thirsty and fruit is very appealing to me...especially bananas.
Update: I'm still thirsty and I still want fruit as well as anything else that is sweet. I didn't have cravings before but now I want to eat everything. My life has never revolved around food the way it does now!
I'm nervous about having a baby of my own. I'm terrified of the changes to come. My world as I know it will never be the same.
