I think I'm 28 weeks, maybe 29... And a Big Belly Button

I haven't been very good about documenting milestones during my pregnancy. I can't even remember how many weeks I am. But that doesn't mean I'm not really excited about this little boy! I'm just not sentimental enough to write down every detail, although I know I'll probably regret it some day. I have, however, reached a milestone worthy of documentation: my belly button popped. Yep, it sticks right out. Especially after dinner and when I stretch. Last week at my doctors visit I was told I needed to take it easy with the eating. I have never really been told that before. It kind of surprised me, but she's right. I gained nearly 15 pounds in 2 months. I think there might have been an error with the scale or I was just weighing really heavy that day because I'm down 4 pounds. I have been eating vegetables like crazy and staying away from sweets as much as possible. I also reached another milestone: up-sized in underwear. I have been meaning to go get some for awhile but it was my blogger friend who unknowingly motivated me. I love new underwear. Have you heard of "cheeky" before? They are the new style of underwear at VS. I thought they would be perfect for me; being "cheeky" surely meant they were for people who were a little more cheeky than usual... no. They SHOW more cheek! If I wanted to show more cheek I would just keep wearing the ones I have that I've nearly outgrown. I went for the ones they only display in the back half of the store; there is NOTHING wrong with comfortable coverage when you are pregnant! Or any time for that matter.

I'm surprised you could wait this long to get bigger underwear. I was in a bigger size long before and found maternity ones more comfortable. They sure were ugly though.

Oh I agree.. like the cheeks covered.
And I KNOW you're excited about that little guy. Life is just so busy! Someone told me just to jot it down on the calendar and then you can document it how you want later. Good Advice.. but I didn't do that either. Love my boys though.

I always thought the scale was wrong too when I was pregge. At least once in each pregnancy I gained 8 pounds in a month. It's a horrible feeling.
