6 Months = 26 weeks!!!!


Today I'm 6 months pregnant. 98 days to go!!! Definitly starting to feel the growing pains and I have elephant feet by the end of the day! Starting to feel winded and not able to move as fast and do as much as I'm used to. I have to make sure to take it easy. I've been getting braxton hicks in the last week, pretty much every day. Most women start to feel them after 20 weeks and some don't feel them at all. They are uncontrolable, but mild contractions of my uterus. My stomach gets really hard and tight for a minute or so and then it goes away, it's just uncomfortable and I usually have to sit down and relax when I get them. If I'm out and about moving a lot I start to feel them, also when I'm walking the dog more than 20 minutes I start to feel them and have to go home. I'm trying to eat well and go to the gym, but it's getting harder. My cravings are overwhelming and I just LOVE to eat!

I'm heading into my third trimester and I can't wait for her to be here, I know she'll be here before I know it, but 3 months seems so far away. I'm not ready for her yet since she doesn't have a nursery yet, so I guess I should be happy I still have 3 months to prepare!

25 weeks 3 days!

I'm almost 6 months and Gianna and I have had a busy couple weeks. I traveled to Albany, NY and baby was kicking like crazy on the plane. I just sat there and watched my stomach pop out everytime she moved or kicked. It's so cool to know she's moving in there and she's getting so strong. Working two full days on my feet was not a good idea, I was exhausted and getting braxton hicks. It took me two days to rest and recover, but I was back to normal in time to go to the Britney Spears concert. That was fun and I got a onsie that says "oops I did it again." So we can remember that was Gianna's first concert (and probably her only one for another 10 years)!
I'm still able to exercise, Sleep and move around good. But I can definitely feel the weight wearing me down. I get winded faster and by the evenings I'm pretty much wiped out. I just know it's going to get better from here (haha yeah right)!!
David is doing great and taking good care of us. He can feel the baby all the time. My sister was able to feel her as well.
We also finished our register last weekend at babies r us and target.

Growth Spurt 23 weeks 5 days


I'm 5 1/2 months and my belly has had a nice growth spurt! It has expanded at least an inch in the last week and my poor stomach is super itchy, I can't stand it!
Next week Gianna and I are going to Albany for 4 days and when we get back we're going to see Brittany Spears!! YAY
