For Thanksgiving we went to Florida with my family. The event was
pretty uneventful which was good compared to the last time we were there. I was
pretty happy to be in nice weather but wow pregnancy makes it so much harder to
run or workout in the heat. Luckily the weather was pretty mild most of the
time but we still got some good time out on the new family boat. Which I’m
pretty sure was bought for the growing family my parents have realized is
coming quickly in the form of grandchildren.
This trip I got to experience
round ligament pain for the first time. That was just annoying more than
anything. I also experienced movement for the first time. I felt it while we
were on the boat. The baby either enjoyed the ride or wasn’t having it and
wanted to let me know.
I was happily not showing quite yet at this point. I was able to rock the bikini with no one noticing except me of course that I had started a little tiny bump. In fact, my husband said unless anyone knew what I had looked like prior to getting pregnant the first or the second time they would have thought this was my normal body shape. Which was quite the compliment especially since I worked my butt off to lose as much weight as possible following my termination. I gained a quick 20 pounds in those short 16ish week from the beginning of fertility treatments to the termination. I was happy when I was able to lost about 8 pounds over the course of two months before we started to try again and now I had not yet gained more than a pound or so which for me and my self-conscious body image was a huge success which I contributed to exercising from day 1 and to eating healthier this time around even if it included some chocolate and french fries here and there!
