I was a little concerned on Tuesday because I realized that I gained no weight in November, and I should be gaining about one pound per week. I talked to a couple of people about it, and they said not to worry. My belly certainly is growing. However, when I got on the scale on Wednesday, which is the day I normally weigh myself, I finally gained one pound. I'm certainly not complaining about not gaining weight. I would love to not gain 60 pounds. I'm trying to keep things in moderation, although it's still kind of hard because meat is gross. So that means a lot of cheese for my protein. At Thanksgiving, I ate mashed potatoes, rolls, and green bean casserole. Well balanced, no?
I still haven't felt any movements yet, but I'm waiting and hoping soon!
We went to the very cold and snowy Broncos game on Sunday, and when I went to put on my cold clothes (like my ski pants), I realized that I couldn't really button them and sit down. So I wore them but I had them unzipped and unbuttoned the whole game. If I have another cold game, I'm going to have to find some other clothes. Thankfully I only have about another month of these games, so I'm not going to have to find ski pants for an 8-month pregnant belly. I was cold during the game, but the baby felt nice and warm!
I'm really not looking forward to buying clothes that I'm only going to wear for a little bit; it seems like such a waste of money.
Total Weight Gained: 7 lbs
Sleep: Sleep is great! I usually am really worn out by the end of the day during my busy season, so I've been going to bed before 9 most nights. I went to bed at midnight on Sunday from the Broncos game, and I was so tired on Monday!
Most Exciting Moment: Announcing the pregnancy on Facebook I suppose. That's really not that exciting, but it was nice to read the congratulatory comments and see the likes of our friends and family.
Baby is the Size of a: Sweet potato! I guess it may start hiccuping, which I could feel.
Miss Anything? I really miss not having to give myself shots every day. A lot. I've been giving myself one or more shots every day since July, and I'm so sick of it. Obviously I'm going to keep doing it and am thankful that there's an option for me out there, but my belly is bruised and tough and discolored, and it's no fun. I'm not really the kind of person who would take a bare belly maternity photo, but if I was I wouldn't be able to. It is not a pretty sight. I'm hoping that the discoloration will fade after I give birth and stop the shots.
