Exciting news! I can finally eat eggs again. Last Sunday I made a big egg bake and ate it for breakfast every morning. Anyway...
Please excuse my pity party for a moment. I feel like whenever I look in the mirror I'm the outside person in a group photo. Constant fat arm syndrome. The maternity tupperware full of clothes was passed on to me a few months ago. Unfortunately, most if not all of the shirts, dresses and pants are too small which doesn't help my fat arm and big knockers issue. Luckily, Target maternity t-shirts are fairly inexpensive. Mom, if you're reading this- please make me some skirts :)
On the bright side, I haven't actually gained that much weight, so that nice. Funny thing... though I'm gaining weight getting bigger by the day, my inner thighs don't touch quite as much as they used to, weird? Yes. The past two months my midwife has said I'm doing just fine which is a good change from "Lay off the christmas cookies, Marie." She never really said that but it was implied when she called me fatty. That's a lie too, she's a very sweet lady and I'm glad we decided to stick with her. I'm hoping the baby comes during the week so she can be there.

Last week of prenatal yoga and I'm not going to go. I've decided I don't really like it. The poses are good for stretching, meditation and such but I just get too bored. I need to start dedicating more time to excersising. I have enjoyed a belly dancing video Brit gave me but I need to do it more than once a week for it to help. Anyone else have recommendations on videos or movements I should start including in a daily routine?
I'm debating asking Ben take a new picture for me. My bra is showing and the extra fabric in the top of this dress makes me look like I have super saggy boobs. I'll just have to take a super great picture next week :)How far along: 26 weeks
Maternity Clothes: I threw a bit of a tantrum Friday trying to find something to wear in the warmer weather. Is it possible to have "fat" days when you're pregnant? A tank top fit me fine when I tried it on Thursday but Friday it didn't work. Ugh.
Stretch Marks: I have a feeling they are there but I just can't see them. Ben was under the impression that stretch marks are a myth. Which I guess is an okay thing since I now know he doesn't have a habit of staring any other women at the pool or beach.
Sleep: Sundays are the worst. I dread waking up and going to work. I'd rather stay home and work on the house. Premature nesting.
Best Moment this Week: To clarify last week- I wasn't excited when Ben left, more so that the dog likes me again. Best moment since my last entry; Ben coming home = nightly backscratch, hooray!!!
Movement: Lots of baby movement, though I wish there was some other movement down there too. Catch my drift (pun intended, sorry that was gross.)
Food Cravings: Tuna Noodle Casserole. Tuna, cream of something soup, noodles... what could be better? Hmm... when I actually describe the ingredients it isn't quite as appetizing.
Gender: The votes are coming in. It looks like everyone is dreaming about a little girl too. Can you all start dreaming of a no-complications, easy labor too?
Labor Signs: Can I count anxiety as a labor sign?
Belly Button: I can now touch the bottom of my belly button. I've never been able to do that before. It's weird and a little gross.
What I Miss: Walking up the stairs without getting winded.
What I'm Looking Forward to this Week: The weekend.
Weekly Wisdom: If you desperately need to tell a secret, go get a hair cut. Liz, my lovely sylist for the past 6 years is the only person who knows our name choices. The urge to purge is gone.
