Wait... what?! Where has the first half of my pregnancy gone?!?! I can't believe I'm officially halfway - though realistically I probably hit that marker last week judging by previous pregnancies.
As far as I know I'm at about the same weight I was at last week, which keeps my total just under 10 pounds. I have one of those older scales with the little arm that swings around and points to a number to indicate your weight. It's not the most accurate, but it gives you a general idea.
However, in terms of looks, you can tell that I'm pregnant when I'm wearing thinner clothing or more form-fitting outfits. In bulkier items like coats and sweaters, I still just look questionably fat. That's amazing given that this is my 3rd pregnancy. I think I'm about the same size-wise this time as I was with my first. I thought you were supposed to show sooner in subsequent pregnancies, what happened to that?! Not that I wish I were bigger or anything, but I'm a little surprised how long it's taking. I got a bunch of maternity clothes this time (though truthfully I hate 50% of them now because they are too clingy) and I was all set to be a house by 2 months in. It was downright surprising when that didn't happen.
So, that's the update. I don't see the Dr. again until mid-December... I was hoping to put it off until January, but she was more comfortable doing 4 weeks rather than 6 weeks. BOO! :-(
On the bright side, I have something to look forward to after the holidays as the hubby thinks that's when we'll really buckle down about decorating the baby's room. I just need him to paint and I'll take care of the rest. ;-)
