Twenty Five Weeks

Here I am 25 weeks pregnant with my two little boys. McDuff is slowly learning that his mommy's belly is off limits and snuggles with her on other parts of her body.
The little man inside my tummy is doing great. He appears to be growing and with it my stomach; he is also moving lots everyday to let his mom know that he is doing well.

To date, pregnancy has treated me very well. I was not one of the women who gets sick my first trimester; I did throw up a few times, but it was not a big deal. I felt incredibly blessed to be able to feel well enough each day to continue to work and carry on my every day activities. The main struggle I have had is just being tired and I know that is nothing most pregnant women don't experience. I feel lucky that everything has gone so smoothly; our little guy is growing normally, developing well and appears to on track for a healthy life.

As far as moodiness, I had to ask Christian, and he says there has been a little, but nothing like what he was expecting (not sure what that is supposed to mean.) I have been a lot more emotional lately; I am not usually someone who cries a lot, but I lately, I can be talking to someone and just start crying out of the clear blue sky. At least I have the hormones to blame!

Cravings: I have eaten a lot of Macaroni and Cheese during the pregnancy and chocolate (not sure if that is pregnancy related). Other than that, no weird cravings, which people are always asking me about; perhaps that will come later.

Lately sleeping has gotten more uncomfortable as I am having more and more back pain, but I am getting through it. It is getting harder to bend over, not something I enjoy; whenever I drop something I get so discouraged because it is so hard to pick up! Silly!

Overall, pregnancy has been treating me well. The only thing I am not enjoying about this process is the buying of maternity clothes, this really is not fun! I would much rather be spending me money on other things, but a girl has to have something to wear to work each day! I feel like I wear the same five things each week, probably because I do. Oh well!

We are so excited/nervous/anxious to be parents, we can/cant wait for the little guy to arrive. Time is going by so quickly and I am feeling less and less prepared as the time zooms by. I know it will all work out however. Thanks to everyone who calls/e-mails to check in on me and normalize my pregnancy experiences.
