TMI = Too Much Information!

25 week (early month six)

Here's the stuff I've been keeping from you... and its all in good humour.

1. My feet are constantly swollen now. Especially after walking the half hour home from work. One morning I woke up and they were already swollen! So when I get home, I often lie on the sofa with my feet up on the wall. This might also help avoid varicose veins I've been told.

2. My hips wake me up with screaming pain in the night. I have to stretch on my back until the pain eases and can roll to one side again. Chiropractic adjustments helped the first few times, but now, not so much.

3. Lil' Peanut is now heavy enough that when I do roll on my back I can feel his weight squishing all my organs. Hence why I'm not supposed to lie on my back! LOL

4. Stretch mark? I think I have spotted a stretch mark. A tiny red line. But it ain't on my lower half!

5. His feet are still very close to my bladder area and he's getting bigger. This makes for fun "oh my goodness!" sudden runs to the ladies room even at this stage.

6. They say a pregnant woman's hair and nails grow like crazy... nails yes, hair... only in thickness, not length. And with the waves I have its outta control! I am straightening it as often as I can or pinning it up.

7. My belly button is about to pop. It may have already and I'm just in denial.

8. Complexion. I had a facial on Saturday and my face has never been so clear! It was such a nice surprise. The extraction was minimal and only around my nose. Woohoo! The rest of the hour was masks and massage for my scalp and arms and shoulders.

9. I can no longer pull my socks on by pulling my knee up to my chin. As I haven't worn socks all summer this came as a shock this past week!

I think that's all my little pregnancy shifts right now!
