So since my memory is a little shot...I'll have to just randomly just write what I can remember throughout the last few weeks. Now, please note that the time of these events are in no particular order.
Oh sweet sweet memories...how I miss you! So I got another text from Josh the other day saying that I left our front door unlocked! Golly, who does that?! Now, thank God that nothing was missing cause I would've felt so bad! I couldn't believe that I did that. I consider myself a super cautious person when it comes to locking, unplugging, and switching things off around the apartment, but leaving the door unlocked was just something I would never do....so I blamed it on the dog...
"Gee, I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want?" I've been finding myself having these conversation in my head a lot. I haven't really craved one particular thing this whole entire pregnancy. I've just found myself to go on long week binges...like for example one week I'll be craving watermelons and the next week I'll want nothing but wheat thins with cream cheese. I'm kinda all over the board when it comes to the craving part...but now I've just unsure of what I really want...the other night around 1am I was so hungry. I had no idea what sounded good to me, so I was really contemplating just driving on 164th so that maybe one of the fast food places would jump out at me...nuts right?! I eventually talked myself out of that ridiculous idea! So I just settled for a vanilla greek yogurt :)
I finally experienced my very first leg cramp a few nights ago...it was just a little one on my left calf, but it was enough to make me not want to have it ever again! BUT guess who had another one the following night?! THIS GIRL! This time it was both my calves...oh god, it was miserable! It only lasted about a few minutes, but it was enough to leave a soreness after it was gone.
That's "Big Boobs McGee to you"....Oh lord have they grown!! Hey ladies, are you looking for a fuller, voluptuous, and more wonderful looking boobs?! Forget about going under the knife...being pregnant is where it's at!! Although there are some side effects: Super sore boobs, larger and darker areolas, and blue vein-ituous! If you don't mind those mild side effects then it's totally worth it ;) Just ask your husband and/or boyfriend for them!
So I look at my belly and it looks like someone took a ruler and drew a black line down the middle of it! I guess it's called "linea nigra" aka the black line. Well whoever did it did a pretty sucky job! It's not very straight cause instead of continuing down your bellybutton (like it would NORMALLY) mine goes around it...so it now looks like the black line did a round-about at my bellybutton! REALLY?!
2nd trimester is still rocking for me!! So much so that I've actually been working a lot more. It's been nice to see old regulars that I haven't seen in a while. It feels good to catch up with them and see them so excited to meet the belly! The big question lately has been "How far will you continue to work for?" I honestly don't have any idea. I just take it week by week really. It would be nice to try to work until 2 weeks before my due date, but since I work on my feet a lot I'm not sure how realistic that will be. Although, I've been very lucky to work with such amazing people! All of my boss' have been great about my schedule and trying to make it a comfortable work place for Brandon and I. All my co-workers are great about carrying heavy things for me and giving Brandon a rub! I just know he will have a special connection with all of them. I know that he loves hearing all their voices because it's usually followed by a nudge or a kick from him.
Brandon so far (at 22 weeks):
Length: 11 inches about the size of a spaghetti squash ( I have no idea what that looks like)
Weight: 1 whole pound!!!
According to my baby bump App Brandon's senses are really developing this week. Taste buds are forming and nerve endings are developed enough for him to experience the sensation of touch.
