5 weeks pregnant

The baby stretched himself out this morning and found my ribs for the first time.  It’s surprising to be woken up in the morning by a quick shot to the ribs, especially when you are alone in bed, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re nearly 28 weeks along in this journey.

For everyone who has been bugging me for a photo, here it is!  I can’t believe this was me just FIVE months ago.  These days I can’t even fit into my ginormous Canada Goose jacket!

I don’t know how I am going to survive a Canadian winter, but I refuse to spend $500 on a winter maternity jacket!  Although, I discovered that I can wear my ski jacket lining under my fall maternity jacket, obviously without doing it up, so I might be okay – just a little puffy-looking.

28 weeks pregnant

Tomorrow I’ll be 28 weeks, with 12 more to go.  It should be interesting to see how big I get considering I have zero motivation to work out and that I feel larger than life already.  I know I should be lifting weights and getting some sort of cardio, but taking the dogs for a walk is going to have to do.  I may just regret that decision in 12 weeks’ time, but I’ll have no choice but to deal with the consequences at that point!  All I know is that I am heading to hot yoga the first chance I get!
