Month 7 (25-28 weeks)- Pregnancy Woes

Month seven has been a blur. There is nothing in particular that sticks out from week to week that happened, but the whole month in general brought on new pregnancy challenges.

• Swollenness
• arms
• legs
• ankles (more like kankles)
• face
• Continual battles with acne (nothing new there)
• Braxton Hicks contractions. Nothing alarming, but some days they can occur once or twice every hour and can make me feel uncomfortable. I just need to learn to take it easy when that happens
• Back pain
• Sleepless nights (due to the never ending trips the the bathroom and the nagging back pain)

All-in-all though I still feel great. The above issues are all manageable and just part of being pregnant so I try not to complain (too much).

My doctors appointment this month meant I had to pass my glucose test, and I did! No gestational diabetes for me. I also gained another 6 lbs this month, making my total gain 17 lbs. At this rate, I will be huge when my due date arrives! I am just glad to know that baby boy is growing.

Enough talk, I know all you want to see are the weekly photos, so here they are:

The best part of this month was that Jesse and I took a mini vacation to three new states! I guess it was our last big hoorah before baby arrives. More to come on the trip later.
