24 weeks

Today we reached the 24 week mark! My new symptom this week, which I mentioned in my exercise post, has been pain in my pelvic region, right at the pubic bone on the right side. It comes and goes but is very painful especially getting off the couch and getting into bed. It doesn't seem to bother me while exercising, but exercising could possibly "encourage" the pain. I still occasionally get the round ligament pain, but not very often.

I ran my 10th race and my third triathlon this morning while pregnant. I will write a separate blog about the race when I have a little more time to write one.

I'm still feeling the baby move a ton and throughout the day. The baby is going crazy moving around right now, probably because s/he slept a lot this morning during my race. The baby never is active at all during a workout, most likely I'm "rocking" the baby to sleep.

I think it was also this week that I finally upgraded to a new bra! I've been spilling out of my old bra for quite some time, and I was way over due. The boobs still seem to be growing so I'm sure it won't be long before I need to upgrade to the next size up.

I waited until the last possible moment to take photos, and since I raced this morning and came home and spent the afternoon sleeping on the couch, I have "couch hair" and my tri number is still on my arms (It takes a few showers to completely wash off).





No hiding this belly now! I think I read this week that my uterus is supposeably the size of a soccer ball! Not sure if it's THAT big, but it's definitely growing.

I got on the scale this morning and I had hit 150....yikes! I weighed myself again after the race and I was back down to 148, so maybe I'm not officially in the 150's, at 3:30 am (remember I was up super early for my tri) my body doesn't know how to weigh itself correctly. Regardless I'm basically there, which means I will be the heavy weight in the family passing Sean on the scale. This just means I can threaten to sit on him if he talks back to me!

We fly "home" to Vermont on Thursday of this week for a long holiday weekend with my family. It's going to be a ton of fun seeing everyone, and my mom is throwing a baby shower for us as well. We don't get back until Monday afternoon so I guess that means we'll have to take next week's photos from Vermont, or they will be a day late.
