20-25 weeks

I decided that during this pregnancy, I would take a picture week by week so that I could document my growing belly and so that bubby no. 3 could also have a little lime light in my infamous blog :). I wish I would have done this with my other pregnancies.

Week 20/ 21

week 22

week 23

week 24

Today! Week 25.

Little notes:

• I can feel bubby kicking as I write this. I love this feeling and the little reminder that bubby is there!
• I can cry at the drop of a hat over something sad. In fact, every time we drive somewhere and a sad song comes on my country music cd, El asks "mum, is this the song that makes you cry?" Yes, I cry whenever  I hear the Dixie Chick's "Travelling soldier" and "You were mine" and a song about the wife having cancer (not sure what it's called) get's me every time. So sad- as in the songs, and not my bad attempt to control my pregnancy hormones. 
• I still can not keep my lunch down for 98.8% of the time. No matter how tasty or expensive it is, it  just does not agree with me.
• I fear sneezing or coughing too hard (those who have had babies or are pregnant will understand what I mean).
•  I got my first leg cramp the other night... ouch! 
• I'm getting very little sympathy 3rd time around. Still no foot rubs or back rubs. I'm working on that!
• I'm over pills. At one point I was taking anti-biotics, iron pills, calcium pills, elevit, panadol, and echinacia. Yes, I felt like a pill junkie! Now I'm just down to elevit, calcium, and my trusty raspberry pills.
• I had a huge thing for coconuts. But come to think about it, I think that was more due to the reason that Coles had them on special for $2 rather than pregnancy related.
• I'm currently 63kg. Total weight gain of 6 kgs.
• I've put a hold on my walking and have started Zumba. As long as I make a quick trip to the loo before I start, I'm good to go!  I think my Salsa moves puts bub in a peaceful sleep. 
• Finding something to wear in the mornings has become a task and a half. I don't get it? I've been pregnant TWICE before, so why can't I easily find something comfortable to wear!? Ok, it might or might not have something to do with the mess of a room/ 'bermuda triangle' thing of a wardrobe  that I have going on.
• Noah and Elly are both noticing the belly now... "Wow mum! You're belly is getting fatter!" El has such a way with words. They also like to kiss it and rub it. So sweet! They love to look at the ultrasound pics, and I often find them taking them from the fridge and having a closer look, mainly at the one with the little arrow pointing to his little manhood. They find it so fascinating and funny.
• It has finally hit me that this is all happening, and I'm not scared...yet.
