25 weeks today, and I'm just plodding along (literally haha). Everything is pretty boring - my tummy is massive but I'm not uncomfortable. I don't really feel heavy in the tummy or sore. My hips get a bit achey sometimes, but overall - I barely feel pregnant. I obviously look it though, and strangers are having a hard time comprehending that I'm only as far along as I am! At the high tea, I was introduced to a woman and she asked when I was due. I told her, and she couldn't believe me. My mum then mentioned how it was my third, so that was why I was so big (thanks mum), and then this lady couldn't believe that it was my third either. Not sure what she was finding so hard to comprehend! I wasn't offended at all though - but I did find it very amusing.
I have been terribly slack with healthy eating and exercise over the past week or two. Part of it is finding time to exercise, part of it is feeling like I have the excuse of being pregnant... and a big part of it is simply that I can't be bothered. It's time to pull my finger out though, so I went for a walk this morning, and will be eating much better. I haven't been to pregnancy yoga in ages (partly because we've been busy and partly because of the cost), but after Easter I'll aim to go regularly. My gym membership will be on hold starting in ten days, so once that is gone I'll have to make sure I'm walking regularly.
Bubba bump seems to be going well as far as I can tell. Kicks are getting stronger and more frequent, and I've finally managed to see a kick instead of just feeling them. I think I've found she is most active first thing in the morning (usually when I'm still lying in bed), and in the evening. I am feeling more through the day now too. It's nice, and in those rare moments I can appreciate it, I feel truly blessed.
And here is today's belly photo!
And here is a comparison. Belly pics from 5 weeks, 15 weeks and 25 weeks:
Far out! When you put it side-by-side like that...! And to think, I have another 15 weeks to go!
