25 weeks!

wow! At this point I'm definitely pregnant :) What I mean is that I cannot hide my belly any more even if I want to sometimes. It's great! One of the big changes this week is that I started walking like a pregnant woman. Yep, it happened! I never liked it and I thought that all pregnant women do that just to be noticed. I was wrong. I noticed it about myself two days ago when I went to a store and it seemed funny to me. Oh, well! What you gonna do? :)

Another great thing that happened this week was that Chris felt our boy's kicks for the first time. It was very exciting!

Another change I noticed is that I get hungry more often now. At the beginning of this week I was hungry one hour later I ate, so I had lots of snacks between main meals. Yesterday and today I'm back to normal. I'm going with my hunger. If I'm hungry I eat, if not I try not to snack. I'm still wearing my normal clothes except for I cannot zip my pants, so I just wear them with my belly bands.

So far I gained 13.9 lbs. I think that it's not bad and is considered normal. I lost 5.5 lbs before I got pregnant. My weight was 123.2 lbs. It was the result of our healthy eating or new approach. It was Chris' idea to start eating healthier which I supported. In January we decided to make/eat soup on Mondays, chicken with vegetables, rice or buckwheat on Tuesdays, seafood on Wed, vegetable meals on Thursdays, turkey on Fridays, chicken or turkey on Sat, Sunday was a treat day. It worked pretty well as by March I lost those 5.5 lbs and Chris has lost about 16 lbs. Of course, we also worked out. I stopped working out after I got pregnant as my placenta was low until week 23. Now it looks fine.

We still continue eating sort of healthy which is definitely good for the baby.

Here is me at 25 weeks :)
