Growing Pains

I knew going into this whole pregnancy thing that there would be stretching, shifts, growing, and all-around shape altering. However, the baby is really bursting me at the seams already! I woke up in the middle of the night last night with a searing, stabbing pain in my lower side right above my hip... painful. I couldn't get back to sleep for another hour because of it. My circulation is getting worse so limbs fall asleep and whatnot. A lot of women brag about how great it is to not have to deal with your period for 9 months, but in all honesty... these cramps are worse.

Maybe I'm just whining but it's an experience that I'm not completely used to yet. The doctors say to not get my hopes up for it to end anytime soon because from here on out, the kid just keeps getting bigger... and bigger... and BIGGER!!! I just hope the body butter does its job but so far, I already have a few stretch-marks. I'm trying to hold them off though!

Btw... my belly button is officially stuck out and will probably no longer exist in another month or so. I'm hoping this baby isn't a total chunker because I don't know if my body can handle that!

Don't worry, even through all this, I'm still loving it. It's just taking some adjustment.
