Beauty

So 13 weeks preggo and I feel like a big fat lard butt. And I don't mean because my belly is growing so much. Because believe me.. I have waited a long time to grow this adorable baby bump. I love it, I love it, I love it!! However, my legs feel gargantuous (that means huge), my butt feels like it is growing by the minute and my face is all chunky. Also, my hair is all frizzy. I got my hair cut today, its a lil short. I didn't have time to style it (we'll get to that later), so it is back in a lil ponytail. But my ponytail is pretty small. I already feel tons better about my appearance just due to my hair. I also got my eyebrows waxed. They look tons better!! I feel like this would be an important place to tell you that I haven't gained too much weight. I think I have only gained a couple pounds thus far in the pregnancy.. so I probably don't look as awful as I am describing. However.. I feel nasty. (Side note: I don't like the word nasty. I have no idea why I decided to use that word. It sounds so.. sexual. You know what I'm saying? Oh ya.. you know. Ok that's enough.) My clothes still fit fine, I am wearing maternity clothes though. I can still wear some of my shirts, but can't wear any of my capris. My baby bump just won't allow it. I know it isn't huge.. but its big enough to make a difference in the clothes I wear. I bought some cute capris at Kohls (they were having a super good sale). I currently love them.. but I think I must buy another pair soon. I think another sale will be here before I know it. Because we all know that I won't buy a non-sale maternity item. Lets be real here!

Other news.. Im in my second trimester!! Yay. I love that Baby Antebellum and I have made this wondrous milestone. Have you seen how big Doodles Baby is? So big!! About 3.5 inches now, holy cow! Jen said that that's about the size of a poly pocket. haha



Hopefully Doodles Baby doesn't look like this, yikes! Lately I have been having a bit of flight of ideas. When I was using the restroom yesterday I was thinking "What would happen if I accidentally pushed my baby out". ( I think I was pushing too hard)How awful would that be? I know I shouldn't think about this stuff. But honestly I don't think it would really happen, I'm truly not worried about it at all. I just have these random scenarios pop into my head. Its crazy huh! But I never told anyone that I was normal.. you just assumed.

So second trimester is here (barely) and I am exhausted. Most people say that your second trimester is the easiest and all your symptoms subside for a bit, but mine are coming now. Its crazy! Like if I do anything at all (go to the bathroom, eat dinner, go to the grocery store.. ect) I need to lay down for a bit. Not always take a nap, but at least rest for a while. And a nap daily would be most amazing! What would make it even more amazing.. if Joey took it with me! I LOVE THAT! Today when I got my haircut I had complete intentions to style my hair prior to work. However, I was really exhausted and decided to take a nap instead. It was dreamy and definately worth it! I am also having issues with going potty. I literally go potty all the time. And sometimes I will go potty, stand up and have to sit back down because I still have to go. I have even done some exercises while on the toilet to help make sure all the urine is out of my bladder. Those are obviously useless. Sometimes I will go potty literally like 3 times in 10 minutes. OOC! Another issue.. I will have to go soo bad, I mean like I feel like my bladder literally can't hold any more urine. I go to the bathroom and a tiny little stream starts to trickle out. I feel as if the stream may even stop at any minute because it is going soo slow. Or sometimes it will stop in between, like this: pssss....pss...pssssss...psss and so on. It will take me 2 minutes just to get out all the urine. I feel as if I am straining muscles just trying to get this urine to empty out of my bladder. These episodes only happen at night though. Last night I had this happen and when I came back to bed Joey asked "Is everything ok?". I told him I just had to potty and he said "Well, I wasn't sure because you were in there for a long time". haha. I was in there forever because my body wouldn't allow the potty to come out at a reasonable rate.




But in all seriousness I absolutely love all the symptoms Jesus is blessing me with. I have waited long enough and I don't ever want to sound like I am complaining. I thank Jesus frequently for what he has blessed me with!
