I missed a week... I know, I got busy with work. Stupid work. Anyways, today marks 6 months/24 weeks! I am really excited about it. As my dad would say, "pop goes the weasel." Apparently, I 'popped' this week - I am really showing. We go to the doctor this week for our 24 week check up- so I will do a picture update at some point after that.
I celebrated 6 months by swimming 100 meters for each month. Last month, I decided to combine two things... my want to get better at swimming and my pregnancy. Swimming is so good during pregnancy, as it un-weights the baby and it is great exercise. So, last month I made a commitment to myself that for each month I would swim 100 meters x whatever month I am at, for as long as I am able. I usually swim twice a week, in combination with lifting weights and some traditional cardio - so I thought this is a good goal to keep my fitness in shape and accomplish a long time goal of mine to become a better swimmer and to become more comfortable in the water. Month 5 and 500 meters down, started month 6 and 600 meters today! I feel pretty good about it.
The baby is still kicking a lot, however seems to also be resting more than he/she used too. I think there is a lot of developing and growing going on - I can certainly tell in how much my belly is growing.
I hope everyone has a good week and I will update after the doctors appointment this week.
