So sorry for the lack of updates lately! As most of you know, this is my LAST semester of school and boy is it the craziest! Thank goodness for a good pregnancy that does not make me miss a beat. We are preparing for national and state board testing before the end of the semester, so things are quite hectic.
Noooooowwwwwww, on to more important parts of this post....I'm at week 25 of pregnancy!! I have still been feeling really good, with only a handful of days that are a little more tired than most. With that being said, the indigestion is on full
fledged! Some days I feel like I'm breathing fire! So, either my unborn child has an enormous
afro, or I haven't been able to tell just what I'm eating that is causing the erosion feeling coming from my
esophagus. But, Tums save my life daily! I am so VERY thankful for the calcium supplement, and they are actually kind of good. :) One of the biggest joys of pregnancy has been just recently feeling
Charleigh move. It took me a little longer than most people to feel her move
consistently, but since I have been able to recognize that the feeling is her moving, she is on the move all the time. I LOVE it! I've only been able to "feel" this for 2 weeks or so, and Lance just felt her move last weekend. It was so incredible! This past week while I was sitting in class I was able to see her move through my shirt, it brought the most joy! As far as showing is concerned, it has taken me a while for that too. I'm not sure why, but I guess every women is just so different and carry babies differently. I've promised many to post some belly pics on the blog, so below are the latest two from last week at 24 weeks. Pregnancy has been so much fun. I love reading updates on how
Charleigh is growing every week, and watching her grow is such a miracle. It is amazing how intricate pregnancy is and how God grows this little being for 40 weeks. It blows my mind. We have a good God. Love to all!!
If you look closely at the left knee, you will see my battle wound from my recent fight with the sidewalk. :/ There was no ice, no rain, no moisture, no uneven sidewalk. Just a long, flat, even surfaced sidewalk that I fell so incredibly hard on! Not to worry, I fell on all fours and
Charleigh was saved! I was just walking to my car and
WHAMO! I still have no idea what caused my fall. I just fell.
Haha! It hurt SO bad!! I had to keep telling myself, "Andrea, you are 26 years old. You cannot cry when you fall."
Haha! I wanted to shed a tear or two, but I sucked it up and kept walking to the car with my pride so incredibly hurt! Ha!
Sorry to those who don't like the bare belly shots. As the belly grows bigger and bigger I won't have to show the bareness, you will be able to see it just fine through the clothing. :)
