I Blame Everything On Pregnancy...

As the title of this blog entry denotes, I blame everything on pregnancy. Seriously, every part of my body is involved in this pregnancy! For starters, I seem to be losing mass quantities of brain cells on a daily basis. Not only do I seem to get dumber everyday, but my memory is shot as well! Second, I am breaking out like a teenager. It is even more frustrating that there simply isn't anything I can do about it. My eating habits have gotten even worse than they were pre-pregnancy. I now have trouble eating ANY form of meat. As a result, I average two to three peanut butter sandwiches a day. On the plus side, I doubt baby Musselman will have peanut butter allergies! Finally, no matter how much sunscreen I applied while on vacation, my skin still got terrible sunburns. The worst part was that the sunburns looked like strange rashes. I love pregnancy!

The good news is that I am starting to actually look pregnant. It is really exciting! I love my newly round belly and look forward to the continued growth. It makes the pregnancy seem so much more real. Here are a couple bump pictures at 18 weeks.

16 Weeks

Tomorrow marks the beginning of my 16th week of pregnancy. So far, my pregnancy has been progressing fairly smoothly. The sickness has finally subsided and the hunger has kicked in. I get especially hungry at night. Honestly, it is fairly annoying because I usually have to eat a second dinner around midnight. Hopefully this doesn't have any reflection on the baby's sleeping patterns! I still haven't gained much weight. Since I started this pregnancy, I have gained two pounds. I finally have a slight baby bump. For me, this is incredibly exciting. I am really looking forward to the continued growth of my belly!
