Entering Month SIX

22 weeks:

Yes, it's OK to laugh at me for sitting in my bathroom and taking self portraits. I admit, I feel quite ridiculous doing it, but I know that someday, I will be glad that I am able to show Harper how she was once in my belly. I go back and forth with getting professional maternity pictures taken. I think they are beautiful, and they would be nice to have, but it's not like this is something that you put up on your living room wall for all to see. Too weird for me. So for now, this is how we will document.

On the plus side, my outward growth is developing at a much slower pace than it was previously. On the minus side, I am gradually starting to feel like I want to eat everything in sight. This urge I am trying to keep under wraps, considering I still have a little under 4 months left.

In about a week we Jeff will start painting Harper's room. Pray for him, as he will be helping me decide on exactly what shade of PINK the room will be. Trust me, I would like to go ahead and do this all myself, however, it's not recommended that I breathe in too many paint fumes. Delegating is not an easy task for me...

I do feel great at this point in the pregnancy. The headaches have pretty much subsided, the nausea is easily cured with a little club soda, and my energy level is good. It is funny how much faster this pregnancy seems to be going. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I am a little pre-occupied chasing around a very busy 15 month old.
