A Day in the Life of My Pregnant Belly

7:30 - Get out of bed. Immediately pour coffee and drink while getting dressed

8:00 - Eat a giant double-helping of maple-brown sugar instant oatmeal

8:15 - Pack lunch. Think maybe there's not quite enough food. Scour cupboards for anything that looks remotely edible. Pack it all. Leave for work.

10:00 - Starving. Start counting the minutes till I can leave the classroom for a snack.

10:55 - Kids start lunch. Help kids open lunch containers, and restrain self from sneaking crackers and pickles out of their lunch kits.

11:00 - First break. Eat two containers of yogurt. Eat three chocolate chip cookies.

12:00 - Second break (yes, my break times are ridiculous.). Eat two pizza pockets. Drink orange juice. Eat granola bar

2:00 - Third break. Drink hot chocolate. Eat crackers and cheese. Eat mini chocolate bar left from Halloween. Contemplate having hummus and naan bread, but decide it's time to get back to the classroom.

3:00 - Starving staaarrviiinngg I'm staaaaarrrvviiinggggg!!!

4:00 - Home from work. Eat cookie. Eat hummus and naan bread. Start wondering when I can fit in dinner around my 5pm doctor's appointment. Wonder what to have for a bedtime snack.



I. Just. Can't. Stop. Eating.

23 weeks

 

How far along: 22 weeks, 6 days



Physical symptoms: I am huge. That's about it.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I really must start weighing myself.

Maternity clothes: I finally am in maternity clothes, and have never been more comfortable. I have 2 pairs of pants and 2 leggings, and a few tops. I'm still in my regular winter coat but it's not going to keep zipping up much longer.

Stretch marks: Just on my boobs so far. And I seem to have lost my belly butter. 

Sleep: Not terrible. I fall asleep really early, and for the most part sleep through the night. I have started sleeping with a pillow between my knees though.

Best moment last week: We are officially house hunting! Ahhhh!

Movement: Constantly. We are going to have one active little baby on our hands come March.

Food cravings: I eat constantly. I can't get enough. Lately I've been eating clementines like they're going out of style...I think I had six yesterday. 

Gender:  Still leaning towards girl. M swears it's a boy, but pretty much everyone else says girl.

Labor signs: Nada.

Belly button: Super round, and huge. And very close to being an outie.


What I miss: NBR: my husband! I hate this whole living away from eachother during the week thing, and can't wait till we find a house and can get past this blip.

What I am looking forward to: We are seeing a few more houses on Thursday...hopefully one of them is the one!

Milestones: Nothing new off the top of my head. Very close to V day though!

Something I discovered today:

I can no longer balance the laptop on my belly.

Damn.

My weekend in gifs...

 

 

Yep. That's about it.
