25 weeks.

AAAH, we had a brownout and lost internet this week!  So while this post is late, the pics and info are accurate:)

Feeling: As my mom would say..."huge-a-mongous".  This belly is having some seriously massive moments.  

Not like anyone stands for me on the subway yet, but I attribute it to a) it's new york...I love it there, but when you're on a packed subway the first thing to go is manners AND b) I don't wear belly-loving shirts to work.  

Anyway, I'm feeling good.  A few moments at work where I'm like, "wow, I am not on my game," but mostly I love it.  This job is actually really fun and it's making time flyyyyy.  I like it!

Symptoms:
-Acne is awful.
-Insomnia is better for the most part.  Little girl still dances all night long, but I'm learning to ignore her:)
 
Weight: down a pound actually.  13 pounds total.

What I Miss: Nothing! Being preggo is awesome.

Doctor Appointment: 27 week checkup.

Looking Forward To:  4th of July celebrations! Fireworks!

Annie!

On Tuesday, we went to see Annie on Broadway after work and other than the epic disappointment of finding out that they do not sell an Annie onesie (whaaaat), the show was awesome! A perfect preggo activity.  Le bebe kicked the whole time while I got emotional over all the big singing and dancing numbers.

It was a great night!

Preggo dreams.

I literally dreamt about cheese fries last night.

24 Weeks!

24 is my fave number.  Therefore, this will be the BEST pregnancy week of MY LIFE!!!!!  YAYAYAYAY

SUN BURN ALERT

High-waisted suit from Urban Outfitters.  Not for preggos, but I love it!

Right now, le bebe is weighing over a pound and working on her brain while I do important things such as endless housework, job work and lay on the beach...and play mini golf.

Feeling: Big!  The belly, she is a growin.

As far as life things go though, I am good.  Last week was rough as I started a new job producing at Lifetime TV and Jeff was away in Boston AND my insomnia decided to rear its' ugly head.  It wasn't the best week.  Going to work after sleeping for 4 hours was pretty much the worst ever. Especially when this job hired me to save their swamped/overworked producing/writing department. Oops. I was like, "oh sorry...you didn't realize it, but you just hired an insomniac preggo.  YOUR BAD! Mwahahaha"  

So other than the fact that my awesome Mom came to the rescue by sleeping over every night, last week can stay in the past if you ask me!

This week I'm excited to get a routine going.  It's been MONTHS since Jeff and I have been able to get in a groove because of my past jobs and his travel schedule but it's going to be amazing.  We can continue to work on house stuff (our house is getting painted this week!), work a normal schedule, relax and NEST.  Clearly, I can't wait for some normalcy.

Symptoms:
-Acne. Still going strong.
-Major Insomnia.  My doctor told me to take a Tylenol PM last week and I did.  One pill over the course of 2 nights.  It was my first medicine (other than prenates) I've taken ALL pregnancy and I'd love to not take it again.

Weight: Up another 2 pounds this week. YIKES!  14 total.

What I Miss: Nice skin and sleep.

Doctor Appointment: 27 week checkup.

Looking Forward To:  Everything. Getting used to my job. Seeing our house get painted.  Building the crib this coming weekend. Seeing Annie on Broadway on Tuesday. Watching my bump grow and feeling my little girl kick:)

Happy Father's Day!

To the best almost-dad around...my hubs!

He never called me crazy or tried to slow me down when I was hell-bent and slowly unraveling in our journey to become parents. He never makes me feel like I'll be anything less than a stellar mama and he is by far going to be the best man that our future little girl could ever ask to have in her life. 

Shout out to my pops!!!

Insomnia and Constant Kicks

Okay, so I just want to formally announce (to myself) that starting 4 nights ago insomnia has taken over my life.  What I thought was a freak incident, is now a "thing"...and I am not loving it.

As it seems to go, I fall asleep perfectly well only to wake up at 4am for the rest of the night!  And last night, she woke me up at 2:30am.  How am I going to make it out of this alive?! Aaaaaah. I am sooooo tired. And I definitely picked the wrong time to start a new job.

Xoxo,

Delirious, zombie mama

23 Weeks...whoop whoop!

Baby Girl is officially over a pound (probably), the size of a large mango and she can feel me DANCE...which incidentally makes me want to dance!

Feeling: Pretty good.  I keep wondering how often I'm supposed to be feeling the baby kick and squirm so I've had some worry about that.  Sometimes it seems like I feel her SO much and other days, not so.  I kinda just wish I could feel her nonstop until October 7th...if that's not too much to ask.

Bought my first pair of maternity jeans last week for a new job coming up and decided to wear them to dinner on Friday.  Well, guess who grew a TON in just 4 days?! ME!  I bought them decently baggy on Monday and boy, were they snug on Friday.  I did get ice cream cones practically every night this week, so I can't really blame it all on the baby:)

Symptoms:
-Acne. 
-Insomnia. This is new.  Now I'm not only uncomfortable, I wake up for over an hour in the middle of every night. Awesome.
-crampy/twinges.

Weight: 12 pounds.  Up 2 this week.

What I Miss: Nice skin. 

Doctor Appointment: 27 week checkup.

Looking Forward To:  Jeff getting home from Boston already and he only left yesterday:)
