I'm 26 weeks along now, which is 5.9 months according to some pregnancy week/month converter thingy. But I'm the one that's pregnant so I'm going to go ahead and say I'm 6 months. Wow! Along with being 26 weeks comes RLS or restless leg syndrome for those that don't know their initials and leg cramps. Just like every other stupid pregnancy symptom out there I started getting this one a day or two ago. Do I really have to get everything? Or am I just a pregnancy hypochondriac?
I've been doing well with my healthyish eating so far. Last night was interesting though. Bill and I dumped Hannah off with the neighbors and went out do dinner at the Macaroni Grill...yum! This was the first time I felt like a big pregnant pig of a woman. I was starving!! I swear I must have eaten half the little loaf of bread they brought us, then a hunk of fried cheese which was not the best fried cheese I have ever eaten and I do consider myself somewhat of a fried cheese expert, and usually we've been ordering one entree and sharing because my appetite hasn't been that great, but I ordered my own fettucini alfredo with chicken and would have eaten the entire thing had it not made me feel like a giant pig! I did however order the lemon pound cake with fresh strawberries that I had been lusting after ever since I saw it in the menu. Damn them and their pretty dessert pictures!! Damn them to you know where! But it was only $1.99 and a small portion of yummy sugar crusted lemon pound cake and considering I never order dessert I felt like...oh who am I kidding I felt like a pig! But I was a darned happy pig!
After dinner Bill and I braved the insanely cold temperatures and walked 20 feet from the restaraunt into the mall. My poor belly felt streched to it's limits. Bill said it was because I ate so darned much, but sadly, as much as I ate, I didn't feel like I had overeaten. I felt like a happy pig with a comfortably full belly, not overstuffed. Which felt great, because I've simply been starving the last few days even though I have been grazing all day the healthy stuff I picked up. Maybe I'm hitting a growth spurt, maybe I'm meant to be 500 pounds by the time I'm done. Last night I just didn't care. And this morning I woke up not starving for the first time in a while and I just feel great. So if gorging myself is wrong, I don't want to be right!
I started online classes this week and I'm pretty excited about that. I can work ahead in all of my classes so I don't see that being much of a problem with me being pregnant and popping this worm out sometime during the semester. If I just get motivated and get ahead I should be mostly done with classes by the time the baby gets here, which would be ideal. We'll see how long my motivation lasts. Yesterday I started to do my American History reading and was watching the neighbors baby. Bill and the baby fell asleep in the recliner and after reading just a couple pages of my history book I was napping away with them. LOL.
What else is new...oh I got some new fatty pregnant woman tops because I was already growing out of the ones I got from Target, I must say I'm pretty dissapointed with Targets clothes. I think a maternity top should last THROUGH your maternity and not stop fitting at 6 months...I'm not THAT big. So I ordered 5 tops from www.kikisfashions.com and got those in the mail yesterday. I love getting stuff in the mail! Three of the tops fit and are really cute, though I will be suprised if one of them (that I am wearing right now) lasts until the end. But it looks cute now and that's all that matters. The other two are going back. One was so insanely tight that I couldn't breath, which is sad because I liked it the best. The other was the opposite, huge like a freaking tent and ugly. So back it goes too. But the other three are cute and will stay and I'm pretty happy.
That's it for now, I think I might haul Hannah off to the mall and let her spend her gift cards she got for christmas and make her buy me something yummy from Starbucks. Later losers!
