Belly Bump

Posted by kara

Here we are at week 25? I must admit that I don’t really know what week I am. In the beginning, I was so excited and signed up for those pregnancy update emails from three different sites. They all say I’m on a different week, and I don’t really read them anyway because they are geared for first time preggies.

Anyway, it’s going fine. I’m trying to enjoy these “easy” weeks. The latest condition is constant heartburn, which can be triggered by simply drinking a glass of water. I don’t think it’s food-related because I get it always. Although I am always eating food… so maybe it is. Ah well. I can’t give up that chocolate bunny I stole from Toshi. It’s so sugary and delicious!

I also wake up at least twice a night, which I guess is good practice. Last night when I woke up, I thought about what it would be like to hear a baby crying and to have to go feed, diaper, and get her to sleep. Then I thought about what it would be like the next morning when I was dead tired but had to keep feeding the baby AND make sure Toshi’s fed and entertained as well. It made me nervous! I treasure my daily half hour nap – it keeps me sane and awake!

However, I am warming up to the idea of a sleeping infant. Toshi is such a big girl now. She has grown up way too fast. It will be nice to be able to go through it all again… the good and the bad. And I’m so excited for Toshi to have a sister friend.

Here is the belly in all its huge glory:
