22 Weeks Tomorrow

Time flies when you're having fun... right?  I must be having fun because I can hardly believe I will be 22 weeks along tomorrow.  I am feeling very good; definitely starting to get that 2nd trimester, feel good, energy boost.  I think I'm about the size right now as I was when I was pregnant with Silas at this point.  This is good because that could mean an 8 - 9 pound baby.  Samuel was a very difficult labor, my most painful yet, with Louisa being an extremely close 2nd.  Samuel tipped the scales at 9 lbs 12 ozs.  From my own limited experience the bigger the baby, the harder the labor.  

Enough about labor.  I am waddling quite a bit and my hips are very poppy.  I've been walking and really enjoying myself.  I also am thinking a lot about the move, it's hard not to, and I'm not so motivated to start packing, but that could all change tomorrow.  

The picture below is pretty good, I look larger at different angles, and I think this angle flatters me.  The pants I have on are, "low-rise hip-huggers."  It's kind of neat because they button really low and my shirts are so long, you can't tell.  They were a bit taut this morning trying to wiggle them on and I noticed that when I sat down I could no longer feel my legs.  I think that's a tell-tale sign that I won't be wearing these pants again once I have to wash and dry them.  That's okay though, I have some maternity pants that fit very nicely and are quite cozy if I do say so myself. 

21 weeks and 6 days.

It's nearing the 9:30 hour and I'm tired, so goodnight dear family and dear friends. Happy Weekending to  all.
