Your eggo is prego. No doubt about it.
Now introducing...
My lovey.
He has his left fist raised, yo.
(This pic was taken about 6 weeks ago... so you can imagine how much bigger he is now.)
It's my 24th week of pregnancy (as of today!). That puts me at 16 weeks 'til our little bundle of crazy gets here. I'm feeling great so far, as it's my 2nd/easiest trimester...
...wait, that's a lie. Pregnancy hurts, man. Whomever said "Pregnancy is beautiful" left out "...and it's freaking painful." Either an omission or just plain ignorance. My body is not fond of the extra weight, resulting in chronic upper/mid back pain. (And, I already had back problems from falling on my spine in cheerleading in high school...) I have a heating pad on while I type this at my work desk.
Not to mention I get full really, really easily. The best way I can explain it is imagine you just downed a six-pack of beer and then wrapped your stomach tightly with 5 or 6 belts. Feels manageable at first, right? But give it a couple minutes, and you'll start to feel extremely uncomfortable. Unable to sit, or even breathe, as the food settles... and since you can't sit normally, your back starts hurting (even more). The only remedy is a little time.
Don't get me wrong... in spite of all the uncomfortable moments throughout the day, it's really an amazing nine months -- er, 40 weeks. I forget about all the pain, all the times that I forget I can't shop at Forever 21 for a while... when I feel my lil' one move. When he kicks at daddy's hands or when he gets excited at the music we play for him. He's already an amazing gift and is well worth the swollen ankles and sore back. I can't wait to hold him!
Anyway, here's the link to the rest of the ultrasound pics. I'm sure they'll make their way to Facebook soon enough:
