I survived the holidays! Hallelujah! ?I spent a little over 2 weeks in Canada visiting my family and friends. My entire family {on my side} was there! All the siblings and cousins. It was crazy and so much fun! And, really really tiring! I felt like the time zone change + the cold we all managed to pick up did me in! We had 3 flights home and I was utterly exhausted! I haven?t felt that tired or crummy in a long time.
In actual pregnancy news, I think I look more obviously pregnant than just straight up fat. Hooray!
Baby steps?..hardy har har.
Christmas goodies definitely made me pop. The two weeks I was home I ate like a maniac {because all food my parents make is the bomb diggity}. And, because Canada has all sorts of treats they don?t sell in the states. I had to stock up?.you know, for the greater good. {Cause that makes sense?>?} I do believe my baby gained 1 full pound in the two weeks I was there. Good job mr. baby!
I?ve been feeling like things are picking up steam and my belly size is turning out just like it did the first time around. HOWEVER, I was probably 20 pounds heavier at this stage of the game with my first pregnancy than this one. I attribute this to craving healthy foods and chasing after an active 3 year old?and starting at a lower pre-pregnancy weight. As of yesterday, I?ve gained 15 pounds total thus far. Hopefully I?ll land between the recommended 25-30 pound weight gain come April. I think that weight is all in my belly, love handles and boobs. Forreals. I?ve become rather top heavy. You give me a nudge and I?m down. Ask my husband. And an unfortunate salesperson at Target.
The other day I finally gave in and bought some maternity clothes from the Gap?.I fit into the size 6 jeans, ya?ll!! I couldn?t believe it. Still sort of can?t. I was in 10/12?s last pregnancy! Booya. Take THAT thunder thighs! I bought the 8?s so I don?t look like a fat sausage in a small casing 2 months down the road. You?re welcome for that visual. I also got a cute dress and tunic. Yay for comfy maternity clothes 
Still debating the names. My husband doesn?t like my choices and I don?t like his. We agree on our girl names though. Ironic.
I feel thirsty a lot and try to drink as much water as I can, but that means 14 trips to the bathroom in a 2 hour period. Not cool. So, I?m hesitant to drink more than a few sips at any given time of the day.
This little boy is a mover!! I think he kicks and punches and rolls all at the same time. Perhaps he?s gotten into my psyche and has somehow managed to figure out Tae-bo?! I?m concerned on a number of levels. I asked my OBGYN about babies being too active and he laughed at me. ?There?s no such thing as having a too active baby. That just means he?s really healthy. The more he moves the better.?
I?m hoping he calms down in a few months so he?s not beating my insides on his way out?..yikes. As if it doesn?t hurt enough without that. #killmenow
I also had a slight heart attack this morning when looking at my calendar. The end of this month marks the beginning of my 3rd trimester!! How crazy is that?? I remember my back hurt and I was tired a lot last time around?.hoping that?s not the case this time OR my husband will be doing a lot of small projects around the house without me. {Hmm?maybe I should rethink this plan?!}
Crossing my fingers we can get the majority done before baby makes his debut!
Anyways, I think that?s it for now! And, I love that so many of you are pregnant too! We can celebrate {and complain} together!
Now for my endless questions:
-Do you have any awesome creams or home remedies for stretch marks? I don?t get any on my belly, but I do get them in?.other random yet slightly embarrassing places.
-What color schemes do you like for boy nurseries? I don?t like themes {i.e.- safari, nautical, etc.} but I was thinking grey, navy and a little light yellow? I?m indecisive and will probably end up painting 3 times before I get it right. {Correction: my husband will end up painting 3 times. Mwahahaha?.}
