I finally caved and bought some more maternity clothes. I found another pair of jeans at the used maternity store and then found a bunch of stuff at Ross – I got 4 shirts, 2 tanks, a pair each of pants, shorts and leggings, and 2 sweaters for just under $90. It’s nice having some more options. And the maternity shorts I found for our Florida vacation were only $3! I love finding good (cute) deals.
This week also made me realize that my workouts will not be the same until after this baby comes. I did 20 minutes of Pilates on Saturday morning and could barely move that night! It didn’t feel like I was working out that hard, but I guess I was? So I’m thinking that my running jogging days might also be behind me. My morning exhaustion hasn’t made me want to go out jogging anyway. I’m perfectly content doing a video in my nice warm living room.

The most exciting thing about this past week has been that Emma is finally kicking up a storm! I feel her kick a bunch while I’m at work or sitting around, and Travis can even feel her kick from the outside. So fun! It’s a much more enjoyable feeling than the stomach churning I had before (though I’ve heard being kicked isn’t very comfortable the farther along you get).
I’m still having trouble sleeping – I don’t know if it’s that I’m not comfortable, or having weird dreams, or a combination. But it’s no fun. I am a complete zombie for the first couple of hours that I’m up each day.
Symptoms: baby kicks, acne, weird/random aches and pains
Cravings: CHOCOLATE. I have been wanting to eat sweets like there’s no tomorrow.
Weight Gain: 17 lbs total (1 lb this week)
Favorite Moment: Feeling Emma kick!
Well, we’re off to Estes Park with some friends. Have a very Merry Christmas!!
Life, Really Blog 
Merry Christmas, Kathy 😉 Hope you guys have a great time in Estes Park. There is a really cool glass blowing shop just down the main drag. If they’re open, it’s fun watching them in the demonstration area.
You look great, love the sweater! And getting to feel her kick is awesome…until feet start beating your ribs, I’d assume! Even without running I think its great that you get outside to walk, especially with all the great weather we’ve had.
Have a great time up in Estes Park! Happy Holidays!
