1. I've been gaining more weight. I'm gaining too quickly, so starting yesterday I am doing a better job at eating healthier and tracking (not restricting, necessarily) my calories. I think I was taking in a lot more than I realized.
2. Still really tired and not sleeping well at nights. It goes in spurts, one night I'll sleep semi-well, the next not at all....
3. HAIRY. The hair on my legs seems to grow so fast, I can't keep up with. My belly is fuzzy too. Ick!
4. My niece, Jessi, told me I was "punkett" - which when I asked her what that meant she told me "That's when someone is really tall and has a big belly!" - I'm assuming she made the word up, but it was hilarious....
5. Getting way more used to the maternity pillow. I like it a lot. Chris hates it. He says it comes in between us, which, since it's as big as a person, does - but it helps me sleep, so he'll have to live with it!
6. I've still been keeping up with working out. Hopefully now that I'm tracking my food again I will start gaining at a slower speed - which is what needs to happen.
7. I went shopping and bought some longer sweaters for this winter. I got most out of the Junior section, which is cheaper than purchasing maternity clothes. I ended up ordering 3 pair of pants online though - 1 pair of brown dress pants and 2 pair of jeans - I haven't gotten them yet, and I don't need them yet, but they were on sale so I went ahead and ordered them. I used JcPenney's maternity this time, they are a bit cheaper than Motherhood Maternity. I'm hoping the quality of their dress pants are the same that I ordered from Motherhood.
That's about it for now! Have a great day.
I bough most of my maternity clothes at Old Navy online..... they have longs! The Columbia Old Navy also has a very small maternity section. LOVED thier maternity clothes but NEVER but anything from there non-maternity.....
ReplyDeleteYeah the hair on the belly must come with pregnancy, it happened to me everytime. But with Calyssa it seemed like the hair everywhere else didn't grow as fast. It was kinda weird. I wouldn't worry about the weight gain too much. As long as you are active and eat fairly decent then you should be okay. Also the working out and eating good may help you from developing gestational diabetes, I had it the last two pregnancies. It sucks so bad. Your baby bump is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteMegan - Interesting. May have to check out Old Navy. I'm not normally an old navy shopper either...does JC have maternity?!
ReplyDeleteLacy - THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your comments all the time - it's nice to hear about other's experiences and how they are the same and how they are different than what I'm going through!
Thank you for sharing your blog with me. I just caught up on all the posts. It is fun to just sense your excitement. My 21 year old daughter is pregnant, due in April. So I hear some of these same things around here. Thanks again, for sharing the journey...
ReplyDeleteNO, JC does not have a maternity section, although if you order on-line and it does not work you can return it to the JC Old Navy.
