Milestones and Hormones

First up - milestone! I'm 24 weeks today. This is exciting because it signifies the first possible week of viability if Baby Girl was born now. Clearly she has been told to stay put for several more months, but it does make me feel a bit better. So YAY for milestones!

Now for hormones. I cry SO. EASY. It is just pathetic. I am super happy. But I am so emotional. When I'm happy, I cry. When I'm frustrated, I cry. Angry, cry. Sad, cry. Touched by a lame commercial, cry. Are you seeing a pattern here? I am normally not a crier at all so this has been interesting. Luckily my hubby just says it makes me cute. Thank God he is a mush-ball. :)

I'm still feeling pretty good. My only complaint is sleep. Or I should say, the lack of sleep. I'm up all night. I have scoliosis and this pregnancy has definitely aggravated my low back pain. I wake up in pain every night so I usually end up on the coach in the middle of the night. I'm so grateful that I don't work. I would be a zombie if I had to function at work all day without any sleep. This is all such a small price to pay and I'm glad to pay it. It is good practice for having a newborn. :) Many times when I wake up I get too excited thinking about having my little girl here with me. :) Since she likes to party all night giving me Alien tummy, she keeps me good company.

Oh! So after my last belly pic I was feeling pretty good. I was confident that I finally look pregnant and not just fat. Yesterday that was shot to crap. I went to a good friends party. There were lots of people there I had never met. A group of women heard my friend and I talking about my pregnancy and they all said "We NEVER would have guessed you were pregnant!". UGH! I was wearing a very fitted shirt too. That means that strangers think I have a beer gut and am wearing tight shirts to emphasize it. YUCK!

My posts are always all over the place. I'm blaming it on pg brain. ;)

I'm lol'ing too... sorry that was too funny! Well to me, you look very pregnant and very cute too. Don't think too much about what they said.

I can't wait to see more pictures as your belly gets bigger. Btw, are you telling what you'll be naming your little princess?

He he, I know a couple of women personally who do have big guts and wear tight shirts, seeming to emphasize them. They get questions about their nonexistent pregnancies sometimes. Wouldn't you think they'd fix their wardrobes? It's because of women like them that people are nervous to assume you're PG I bet, since I think you definitely look PG and not fat! Sorry to hear about the back pain, I hope she eases up and you can feel good for the rest of the pregnancy.
