Well baby and I have reached the 6 month mark! This picture was taken at 25 weeks. So far, so good....baby and I are right on track. I am starting to feel more pregnant. Like, I'm wondering how I am going to carry more baby? I am so hungry during the day and by night time I am so uncomfortable that I don't think I can stuff another ounce into my stomach. At this point in my pregnancy I have gained 9 lbs. I have been a little bit concerned with my weight gain because from what I read I believe that I should have put on somewhere between 13 - 18 lbs, but my doctor hasn't been too worried and they baby is measuring right where it should. My mom only gained 23 lbs with me, so maybe I'll be like her? I'm also craving sugar; as in brownies, ice cream, cake and peanut butter m&m's are my best friends. It's horrible, both baby and I are going to have to come down from sugar high's if I keep this up. On a not so glamorous note, last weekend my ankles were totally swollen and it freaked me out. I called my doctor and he said to be careful and watch it with my heart condition so I immediately cancelled all our plans and laid in bed most of the weekend obsessing over my growing "cankles". Luckily the swelling went down and I was able to see my cardiologist on Wednesday who re-assured me that it had nothing to do with my heart. Hopefully I don't have to battle this the rest of my pregnancy, I am so excited for spring and i hope i don't have to spend it covering up my ankles!! :)
