Week 24 Update - Why Ikea Hates Me & More

 

How far? 24 weeks, 5 days

 

Total weight gain: about 13 lbs (I reaaalllly regret including this question now. But if I can make just one person feel better about themselves, it's worth it. That's what the saying is right?)

Maternity clothes? Do my regular jeans still fit? Yes. Do I hate wearing them? Yes. When I do wear them I prefer to unbutton them when I sit down, but that's just me. BUT I CAN STILL WEAR THEM IF I WANTED TO, DANG IT. Also, I really want to boycott the bra industry because they seem to think my size doesn't exist. Why do band sizes start so high for the size I need?!?!?! I'm legitly very angry about this and am thinking about just giving up on it. Who's with me? (In fact, I just ordered a special one online. Does it fit? NOPE.)

Stretch marks? Sooo there's nothing going on in the belly area. A little north of there, there may be something of that sort of nonsense beginning. They like to get you where you didn't see it coming I think. I also think I'll take cocoa butter more seriously from now on. First I just need to buy some.

 

Baby purchases: Picked out a crib and should be getting it pretty soon! Weee. (Thanks Mom & Dad!) The room is finally cleared out and ready for a bunch of new crap to fill the empty space! 

Food cravings: I've had a bit of a Diet Coke relapse as of recently. Why does it taste so good right now? It was so easy not to drink it in the beginning but now when I go out to eat, I have to have it. I'm still not letting myself buy any cans (let's not get crazy), but a time or two a week is where I'm at now. And I would love one now, thanks.

Wedding ring on or off? On.

 

Moods? Why is every store I go to out to get me these days? How dare you Ikea for being sold out of the shelf I wanted. How dare you for wrongly marking the price for the fake plants. Poor, poor Colby for being in public with me. Not to mention to bra drama. This baby better be really good.

 

What makes me sick: Nada.

What I miss: Binge drinking Diet Coke? .

What else is new? The doc got my belly measurement at my appointment this week, and again HOW is everything so exact all the time?! I was measuring 24.5 cm at 24.5 weeks. Science, man. 

Looking forward to: CANCUN!!! A week from today this will be my glorious view:

And just as good is that we're staying at an all-inclusive resort, meaning my next weigh-in ain't gonna be pretty and I don't even care one bit. There is a plate of nachos (or 17) with my name on it. 

SO excited Colby and I get to take this trip and relax in this beautiful place for a week!!
