As in, it seems hard to get up off the bed, and I waddle around holding my belly like I'm 40 weeks pregnant. I pee every 30 seconds and wonder if it is all in my imagination. Ha. I think it's just me, my body, and my baby being tired.

Do you find you look a lot more preggo at the end of the day? In the morning, my bump is still fairly flat, but by the time I've eaten dinner, it's like I'm suddenly about to give birth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-39456375719591931152013-05-28T20:08:21.090-07:002013-05-28T20:08:21.090-07:00I think right around 15 weeks is when I realized m...I think right around 15 weeks is when I realized my normal pants just made me look like I was trying to squish a lot of muffin top into clothes that were 3 sizes too small. I mean, they still buttoned so it was ok, right? No. Not ok. Then I bought maternity clothes and voila! No longer fat, just pregnant!<br /><br />JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-87634970167624133582013-05-28T20:07:42.907-07:002013-05-28T20:07:42.907-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-64482280570574019122013-05-28T20:06:42.470-07:002013-05-28T20:06:42.470-07:00Ha...yes, except for the twin thing, everything yo...Ha...yes, except for the twin thing, everything you said sounds exactly like me. I always ask people (out loud), "How did you know??" And they say something awkward like, "Well you used to be so skinny, now....you're not." Ha.<br /><br />At least you have an excuse for no magical-2nd-trimester-switch (twins!), but yeah...I totally get it. It's nice to know someone else is suffering too.

Soon enough I guess I may just have to check out this maternity wear you speak of... ha.<br /><br />Also, I'm at just 10 1/2 weeks and the mood swings are already in full force!

I was just telling my husba...OK, you look adorable. I was just telling my husband that I look way more pregnant when I wear maternity clothes than the normal clothes I still fit into. They definitely accentuate the belly. It's fun when people start to notice. I now have strangers commenting and it was weird at first. I kept thinking "how do you know I'm pregnant?' because I thought I was the only one who noticed my belly is bigger. I'm not sure why I don't think anyone else can see it.<br />I feel like we are having such similar pregnancies(except for the part where I have twins). It makes me feel better there is someone else out there at almost 18 weeks who still isn't quite 100% over the nausea. Don't get me wrong, it's soooooo much better than it was, but I didn't have that magical switch go off when I hit the 2nd trimester so I still struggle a bit. It's worse at night so it might be exhaustion contributing to it. Yay for us feeling better!!!JenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056681492831041470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-26663552972460427852013-05-28T10:23:48.892-07:002013-05-28T10:23:48.892-07:00Yes, Oaxaca has always been on my list.

Aside from Puerto Escondido and Huatulco I don't really know Oaxaca and I am dying to visit: beautiful ruins, chocolate factories, and lots of culture (and yes also the beach). <br /><br />I do love stripes, there was a time I would only wear striped t-shirts or dresses, I was known for it. Over time it evolved, now I wear lots of color and I have a thing for patterns (flowers, birds...)<br /><br />Enjoy your holiday, it sounds like bliss!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-28670713979337411352013-05-28T09:30:20.497-07:002013-05-28T09:30:20.497-07:00Hmm that's interesting because really all I...Hmm that's interesting because really all I've bought so far are pants, leggings and dresses. I also got a lot of "work pants" from Motherhood that I liked. I returned the black work pants I got from Gap AND the dress I bought. But I haven't tried tops from either place, so that's good advice to hear. Also, you're totally right about different body types.

I wanted to go to Oaxaca, but my husband convinced me we should just go back to Zihua to relax because I may not feel up to exploring a new town. Not to mention, this time of year it will be really hot and it will be good to just lay on the beach and relax instead of wandering around and exploring. Plus, Zihua is where the baby implanted so it seems the perfect place for a honeymoon!<br />I LOVE what you said about the baby loving Mexico because of the "feeling." I hope that is true. I feel like I could live in Mexico someday and want my kids to feel the same :)JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-34280065338804858972013-05-28T09:27:36.240-07:002013-05-28T09:27:36.240-07:00Yay congrats on feeling better and finally showing...Yay congrats on feeling better and finally showing! You look great!<br /><br />For what it's worth, I am going to say that I've had pretty bad luck with Motherhood Maternity (except for jeans and leggings), and got all my tops at Gap because they are the only ones that carry my size.

I specially love the striped dress and your oufit with the maternity jeans, super cute. <br />It is nice to read that you are feeling better and that when you feel sick you have some control over it. <br />And you are going to Mexico again? So jealous. This baby will love Mexico for sure (I am not kidding, I wish I could find it where I read it, but if the mom goes to a place that somehow has an impact on her, it can create "memories" on the baby, maybe not a memory per se, but the kid will remember the "feeling" of being in that place. Because I can't find the source I am not sure how scientific that is, but I love the idea). <br />Where are you going this time? To "your" special place or somewhere new?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-15671313334820112172013-05-27T16:59:20.939-07:002013-05-27T16:59:20.939-07:00Wow, I can't help myself from saying this, but...Wow, I can't help myself from saying this, but I just noticed how disgustingly dimpled my upper arms look.
