Busty Betty

I've always been self- conscious of my body, which I assume most women can relate. One of my self-conscious body aspects was my tiny mosquito bite boobs. Well, thank you sweet pregnancy, because they are finally BIGGER! I hope they stay like this forever! :D I can finally wear low cuts and not be embarrassed that my 15 year old sister is bigger than I am.

Some of my mom friends say they will get even bigger when I start breastfeeding. Holy porn star titties, I can't wait. hahah 

Here is my 26 week picture. I invested in a body pillow. Now that I have it, I can't believe I went so long without it! It's helping me sleep a little better as far as back aches and round ligament pain goes. I still can't breathe though. My nose is stuffy and bleeds a lot. I suppose a humidifier is the next item I need to purchase. Boiling water on the stove isn't cutting it anymore. Jes still can't get any sleep because he says I breathe too loud. 

This past weekend Jesse's brother and sis-in-law, Tailor and Alex came to visit. We went out for my favorite, SUSHI! Although, I didn't get any raw meat fish, just to be safe. 

I also started watching a Netflix series I heard people rave about, "Orange is the New Black." I'm enjoying it so far. 

This week, I am at 27 weeks, and I gotta say baby is hooongry all the time! It is so hard not to give into cravings. I've been trying to walk more, do yoga, and watch what I eat. I crave ice cream everynight, but I've been supplementing that craving with a bowl of cereal or a peanut butter and banana smoothie. I did not get in trouble about my weight the last time I went to the doctor, so that is good. I also passed my second glucose tolerance test, which was a relief after the first scare. 

I do still give into cravings though. So far, baby girl craves MEAT...like red meat. I'm having an aversion to poultry phase, but give me steak, roast, and hamburgers all day. Jesse is happy about this new development, because now we eat more "man food," like red meat, potatoes, and beans. 

This dress is from some of the maternity clothes my mom brought for me. I love dresses like this because they are so comfy! 

It's becoming more and more real everyday and the bigger I get. That's why I have such a weird look on my face. haha 

I did sign up for a birthing class, a breastfeeding class, and a child CPR class. I want to be as prepared as possible. 

Also, for Christmas Tammy gave me a gift card to get a 4D sonogram. I'm glad she did because otherwise, i probably would not have gotten one. The more I think about it, the more excited I get because I can't wait to see what her face looks like! I won't get to do that until February though.

Well, this weekend is superbowl Sunday. Doc talked about having a superbowl party, but I think that is still up in the air. I don't care much about football, but I LOVE superbowl  finger foods...chips and dip, wings, loaded potato skins, lil smokies! mmmm :) 

I plan on patching up my couch this weekend. I've been wanting a new couch, but mom friends say wait til baby doesn't pee and shit on everything. Also, my clumsy pregnancy hands make me frequently spill. I asked my friend if it would be "poor folk-like" to add patches to the couch, and she said it's not as bad as having holes in the couch. lol which is true. So, I'm thinking some decorative fabric to coordinate with the living room, and patch that sucker up. I'll post pics if it turns out well.  

I also hope to get some painting in this weekend. I've got crafting fever lately!
