It's doing all sorts of cool stuff but this is the only thing that really stuck with me :) Onto the bumpdate picture. I've gained 20 pounds - been there since we got home from the beach (THANK GOODNESS) but it's definitely more visible in the picture this week. I do have to give myself credit because my workout outfit came straight from the dryer and it always fits pretty snug the first workout session I wear it - but you can definitely see the "snug-ness" of my clothes compared to the first picture we took a few months ago. After seeing the picture, I was able to pull my shorts down a bit and stretch the out so they didn't make my legs look so jumbo sized, but Chris had already taken about 10 of these and I (think I) was getting on his last nerve. :) Wonder why? SO - the jumbo sized legs stay for now - next bumpdate picture, I'll make sure not to have a fresh-from-the-dryer outfit on!
- Other updates I should probably track because when I look back on this one day it'll mean something:
- Chris felt the baby move for the first time the day after Father's Day.
- I still feel great - my only complaint is that about twice a week while I'm sitting at my desk I get a dizzy spell that will last about 2 minutes then it goes away and doesn't come back for several days. Kind of strange - I think it has to do with being dehydrated or in the same position for too long.
- Another strange thing that has been happening that didn't happen with Parker is my bloody nose! I seem to ALWAYS have blood in my nose no matter what - it rarely gets to the point where it's dripping out - but anytime I wipe or itch my nose I'm guaranteed to have a little blood.
- I'm still working out 4-6 times a week - haven't really had to change my routine at all yet as far as all of that goes.
- My wardrobe has completely tripled thanks for my awesome sister-in-law, Amy, for letting me borrow all her maternity clothes. My sister, Whit, also let me borrow a few things she didn't need! I'm definitely blessed in the sister-ly department! :)
- I still refuse to measure my belly with measuring tape. I kind of wish I would have done this when I was pregnant with Parker so that I could compare now but c'mon - the scale is depressing enough - why add the fact that my belly is probably 4 feet around to the mix!
- And I still doubt the fact that I am going to be able to love this little one as much as I love Parker. After talking to several other moms about this issue, they all assure me they ALL thought the same thing before their #2 came along - but I just have a hard time making it reality. Just being honest here :) That's it!
This picture was taken on Father's Day with my camera phone. It was a pretty random moment - but it was actually the first time I remember FEELING pregnant this time around. It probably had to do with the fact that I had been chasing Parker around all day so that Chris could take a nap in the afternoon and I also managed to make two of Chris' favorite meals for lunch and dinner. I was literally on my feet ALL day long. I have on zero make up and had just gotten off the couch from a quick cat nap but I wanted to document the moment :)

I love how your bumpdate is also a good tracker for your tan! Looking good, mama!
Good for you to continue working out 4-6 times a week!
Yep! Everything with the 2nd pregnancy is SOOOOOO different from the 1st!!!!!
