I'm very excited to hit the 24 week — six month — milestone today! The baby is still papaya-sized, but is expected to gain about 6 ounces just this week.
I'm definitely feeling the added weight these days. It's not just the actual poundage (is that a real word?) but the awkwardness of having this big belly stick out in front. Sitting or laying down — and getting back up again — is much more work than it should be. And when Brian and I spent five hours on Sunday running to home centers and doing other errands, it totally wiped me out. Not too impressive from someone who did a half marathon a couple weeks ago. I'm amazed at the difference a couple weeks has made.
It's probably not helping that I feel a cold coming on. There's been some illness circulating in our office for a couple weeks, and I may be the latest victim. I thought the sore throat was just from demo dust in our house in recent days, but I can tell it's getting progressively worse. Not cool.
Hi Dorothy! Maggie shared your blog with me... After seeing the pictures you posted recently, "big belly" is not a very good description. Just wait! (My due date was last Sunday and I'm still waiting...) You'll amaze yourself (and Brian) day after day!
