Stick a fork in it

Lately I feel huge. I am not big nor do I really look pregnant, but man do I feel it. Today when it's hotter than Columbia, SC (a.k.a. hell), my stomach just feels like it could pop. Not the best feeling in the world. Oh, and if I offended you by referring to Columbia, SC as hell - - let me just say that most of us who were raised there call it the armpit of the south. It's hot there. And yes, it isn't my favorite place in the world so I boycott it. But I will add that you must drive through it to get to one of my favorite cities, Charleston. And Columbia is home to Cromers Peanuts - the Worst in the WORLD, according to their marketing department. If you think I am kidding - Google it. But I digress. Here's a bean update before our vacation starts tomorrow.

How far along? 19 weeks, 6 days

Total weight gain: 6 pounds

Symptoms: headaches (they suck) and feeling like I might bust like a kid squeezing a birthday balloon.

Stretch marks: yep - on my side

Sleep: Mornings are my favorite - I always feel great and then being pregnant hits me like a ton of bricks.

Food cravings: Pizza and breakfast foods like turkey bacon.

Maternity clothes: I have some but still able to squeeze into my regular stuff for now. Give me a few more days. :)

Best moment of the week: Figuring out what maternity pants are really like and now I don't know if I will ever want to go back.

Movement: Maybe - but still waiting.

Gender: Waiting for December

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button: in (but shallow)

What I miss: beer. still. And I think I always will. Yep - sticking with my answer.

What I am looking forward to: OUR VACATION. Mostly because of the weather forecast being 70 with no humidity. I can't wait considering it is going to be 100 here on Friday. You can keep it Carolinas!
