Little Krysti in the Making 2

April 12, 2009

Oh Joy!! It's Easter and I work this morning..so I wake up at 5:30ish in the a.m. to get ready for work..it starts off great, I take my shower and feel really good about myself!! Then, I go to brush my teeth and its all downhill from there..first off, I dont know what it is, but all of a sudden I gag when I brush..so of course when you gag your stomach hurts and all you wanna do is throw up..well atleast in my case. So I tried, but couldnt so then my stomach started to hurt really bad..

Then I was like, whatever, I need to get ready for work..so I go to put my black work pants on, the same ones I wore just last night..and yes they are clean! And now they wont even zip up! WTF?! I just wore them last night and they were fine..did this all happen just over night? Yes..I believe it did..so I took one of my old tube tops and pulled out the elastic piece underneathe where the breasts lay..and guess what..Its perfect for use as one of those belts that you get at a maternity store. So I slipped that on right over my now unzipped pants and it works grand! So my morning wasnt a complete disaster, but still..I got big over one night.

As for everything else, its Easter, so of course I'm excited to spend time with the family today and hide the eggs for my little cousins. I love spending time with my family and since I'm always so busy, I hardly get a chance to be around them as much as I'd like to be, so today will be a great day.

Like I said, Im 20 weeks so far which means this week I will be experiencing, sensitive gums or bloody gums (oh how wonderful) and not to mention the constipation! (this is great..not.) And expect to gain another pound..(woohoo!!)

But on the bright side, heres what babycenter sent me to help stay focused on the baby rather than my body changes.. You're at the halfway mark — congratulations! Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (The way your baby is measured changes now.) He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (although some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

But, my little one is little bigger than that right now, I went in for my ultrasound 2 weeks ago and she already was a little more than whats stated above. But then again, Im actually a week ahead of 20 weeks according to the doctor, Im actually 21, but since I've been following the calander as what the doctor originally told me, he said its safe to just keep doing what Im doin, because one way or another, the baby will come on her own time. =)

I just wish she were here already, I cant wait to meet her and yes my body changes and mood swings suck and I may not always be happy with the way my body has been acting, I still am so greatful for her and I absolutely love everytime she kicks... speaking of, she's kickin me right now so Im gonna go drink some milk. =)

Thanks for keeping up with my journal and if you have anything youd like to help out with or have questions about..just post em' below! =)
