It's been a while since I posted anything! At some point, I will learn how to do this and post pictures, etc...going to have to for sure learn by the time baby Kimber gets here.
The pregnancy is progressing along nicely - if you call my acne-ridden complexion "nicely". I've read and heard stories about women who experienced acne early in their pregnancy, but everything "settled down" and cleared up by the second trimester. Well, here I am, at week 25, well into the second trimester and the more pregnant I get, the worse my face gets. The only pregnancy glow I have is created from the acne cream I apply twice daily. That being said though, I am extremely blessed that this has been my only real symptom. I haven't been sick, I'm sleeping well, don't have any swelling or body aches, or for that matter even any crazy cravings. KNOCK ON WOOD (I feel like I have to do this). I will say that I wake up more often during the night for restroom breaks, which is to be expected. However, I'm usually one who sleeps through the night. So, I've noticed two things: My husband occasionally snores (never heard it before), and he shares my pillow/sleeps extremely close. No wonder I'm always hot when I sleep!
The "cravings" I've had so far haven't been too abnormal, at least I don't think they have. I went through a weekend where I absolutely had to have a Sonic Dr. Pepper and it was all I could think about. This isn't the greatest thing to crave with not only the caffeine but the sugar content. But, for two days, I indulged. Thankfully, it went away. Now I have a whole 12-pack of caffeine free Dr. Pepper in my fridge. hee hee The other major craving is Butterfinger Arctic Swirls from Red Top. For those of you not from Angleton or Brazoria County, an Arctic Swirl is just like a Blizzard. If Angleton had a Dairy Queen, that's what I'd have, but the Arctic Swirl is delicious and does the trick. This one kicks in randomly. Thankfully, there's a Red Top right around the corner from my office. :))
Little girl is very active in my tummy these days. When I first started feeling her kick, I could easily decipher her sleep patterns and she only kicked a few times a day. Now, she's a busy girl somersaulting around on and off most of the day. I love it. It's so cool to feel her kicking. I know after she's born she'll grow up so fast, so I'm trying to treasure this time when she's so close to me.
My what to expect when you're expecting e-mail last week said the baby is officially "viable" and that I should pack my hospital bag. Really? Sheesh. The nursery in our house isn't even ready. We've started registries and are busy getting the guest room stuff cleaned out of what will be the nursery. We're close, so I'm not too worried. It's just a matter of moving the furniture now. I'm ready to start getting everything in order though.
Guess that's all for now. Looking forward to Clayton having time off for a few weeks this summer and enjoying each other before our world officially changes!
