At 25 weeks, I’m starting to feel the weight of this baby.
She is still only over a pound, which amazes me. But already
my protruding belly surprises me. I’m
starting to have to put my shoes on by elevating my foot – I can’t bend down to
the ground while sitting in a chair without feeling winded, dizzy, and really
uncomfortable. And I get all sorts of dirt and food on my belly. Of course I
never notice until I see myself in the mirror because I can only see the top of
the belly. So funny.
No one is confused any more about whether I’m pregnant or
just chubby. Everywhere I go please ask me questions and remark about how I’m “looking”:
You look so cute! Look at that belly! Etc…. I don’t mind
the attention yet. Still no strangers have come up and grabbed me yet. Ha!
I am starting to feel more fatigued again. I’m not sure if
this is because of the stage of the pregnancy or because I have been a little under the weather and I’ve been working
long hours.
This weekend we are camping, which will be a lot of fun. I
certainly haven’t gotten out as much as I usually do or would like to. I haven’t
been able to fit in my climbing harness for awhile now, and I doubt carrying a
backpacking pack would fit any better. But I’ve been able to get out and see
the beautiful fall foliage upon the mountains a few times. I’m just not playing
in the mountains like I usually do. All of my friends have purchased their ski
passes, and I find myself just as excited for the ski season as always, although I know I
won’t be enjoying the slopes until the spring. I’m sure it’ll be
a bummer to have friends (and husband) enjoying powder days while I waddle around the house.
The reality of that hasn’t hit me yet.
Yesterday I did some baby laundry with baby laundry
detergent. It was so sweet to wash those little clothes and fold them into
their designated piles while inhaling the sweet baby scent (baby laundry
detergent is a great idea!).
Landon finished repainting the crib and it looks so
beautiful! Preparations are underway. She is coming in 3 months. We are so
excited!
