Looking back, month 6 {and the 2nd trimester in general} probably will be my favorite month. I ate any and everything in sight, I had more energy {thank you iron supplements} and I had a cute bump that made me look officially pregnant. Also we got down to 100 days in this month {double digits. This is serious people!}. Glucose tests coming back normal. Being 6 months pregnant and still fitting into an x small dress {belonging to my petite mother!!} for Easter?! Can someone say "hallelujah!"? Seriously though, you have no idea what an ego boost that was for me!
Easter Festivities! |
Pickles. Sauerkraut. Those have been in the forefront of my brain this month. I freaking love vinegar based foods but to be fair, I ate everything this month. The other day Mom said, "Remember at the very beginning of your pregnancy when you were so sick and miserable all the time and couldn't keep anything down?"...no? I mean, it's kinda hazy. I'm really enjoying this "eating for two people" thing, and the lack of judgement that comes it...totally cashing in on this.
It IS getting a little more uncomfortable to find a sleeping position at night as I'm getting bigger {and Cubbers is getting more squirmy} so my best friend is my pregnancy pillow {generously given to me by my friend Katie Gallup!}. I sleep with it every single night and if I don't, I regret it the next morning when I wake up with an aching back and neck.
Looking at pictures of me before starting month 6, anyone can see that our bouncing little boy is growing a lot this month and that he is getting stronger. It's now his "thing" to kick Daddy's hand off my tummy, and he loves showing off his dance moves {this kid is going to be an Electric Slide fanatic!} Can't wait to see how much more he grows this last trimester! Some big things this month for Cubby are
I remain firmly convinced that Cub will be the most spoiled little bear in St. Louis, judging from the amount of gifts he's gotten from his grandmas and friends this month! From Cardinals jerseys to calendars to adorable plush elephants, I'll definitely have to show off his cute little gifts in an upcoming blogpost.

- Getting to a whopping 15 inches in length!
- Weighing in at 2 lbs. {Alex is so proud of his gains!}
- Getting all his hair!

Yeah. Month 6 was definitely one for the books. So many blessings this month! And this next one is going to be crazy since I'm planning a wedding and getting married all within the same month! Let's do it, Cub! Mommy can't wait to meet you!
2nd trimester :p
