[24w5d]In this picture, I'm fighting a cold. We fought all weekend, mostly on the couch with my eyes closed. Today, I feel better.
Adam said he though my belly grew this week, and it looks like he's right. It's hard to believe how big my belly might (and probably will get) in the next few months. Right now, it's a great size -- just big enough to be noticeable but not getting in the way of things. And I can still button my winter coat, which will be handy when I'm in New York in two weeks.
Friday morning, I had a bit of a scare that sent me to the doctor that afternoon. Everything is okay, though. Adam and I heard the baby's heartbeat and the doctor found an infection that I'm now treating with antibiotics. Then, I spent the weekend with this darned cold. Otherwise, I've been feeling great.
All I know is that being pregnant is hard. People see pregnant ladies and think they're all cute and full of life, which is true, but everything is changing and so fast -- it's hard to adjust. My body is different, I can't believe how much I weigh, when I lay on my back I get nauseous, I can't eat feta cheese or a turkey sandwich without feeling like the worst mother ever. But I keep reminding myself that I get to have a baby after all of this. A real baby.
I'm still flabbergasted.
