Month 7
I will be at the 30-week mark on Friday. That means I will have completed 7 months of pregnancy! I can't believe how fast it has gone by. And yet, when I feel immense pressure pushing on my ribs, it doesn't go fast enough.
I wish I could say all my clothes still fit but that would be an outright lie! I keep trying to squeeze into my jeans but I'm not sure how long this charade will continue to hold up. Zipping them was abandoned long ago along with the practice of putting them in the dryer. Is it pathetic I am fighting this hard to avoid maternity clothes? Pretty soon I am going to look like 10 lbs of potatoes in a 5 lb sack...
Olive kicks a lot. Once in a while she will give a good swift kick when I am dozing off and it scares me!!! I still get a little weirded out about all the movement happening inside but I am addicted to it all at the same time. And I am starting to have really weird dreams, which I will not elaborate upon. I will just say that they are strange.
Anyway, I do know that in 2 more months I will be SO READY for Olive to come out!
Have you looked into the belly bands they sell? I bought some online recently at milanmaternity.com for "next time" but I know you can also get them at Motherhood. They help keep your unzipped pants up, among other things. I know that some maternity clothes aren't the cutest, but I always found some attractive things at Target.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic!
ReplyDeleteAMEN! 30 weeks! I can't believe it! I just made 25, it seems like so much and yet so far! its fun to have the movement, but I'd much rather our little guy come out so I could meet him :) but I can wait if it means no complications. anyways, congrats!
ReplyDeleteClare, I already have 2 of those bands! It doesn't change the fact that my pants are just tight in general though, that's why I had to stop drying them. I have been wearing the bands for a long time and I love them. My problem is just that my jeans were slimmer-fitting to begin with and don't have any room for growth!
ReplyDeleteLooking fantastic!
