24 weeks of Strange Sensations...

It all started when I had to wake up to go potty in the middle of the night...WHAT?! I pride myselft on my incredible bladder capacity (way better than Rob's :) until now...it's pretty crazy how it works... as soon as your pregnant it's like you've started a diuretic. Dr. Vawdrey can you identify this pill for me without looking it up?



My undergarments, some t-shirts, and even some of my scrubs have turned into belly shirts...so not in style. I like my tummy hid away... no peek a boo for me.






Hungry Hippo!!! AKA Sarah...I like PB & J's...yummy!!! The first day I noticed my increased appetite I was just finishing my first plate while everyone else was putting their forks down! And I am not a slow eater..."What?!!! I'm just getting started!!!" I still can't decide if my doctor thinks I've gained too much or not enough when she says "just make sure you're eating good and excercising."




I know potato bugs feel helpless on their backs, but what I wouldn't give to be able to just sleep on my back...Sometimes I sneek a minute in here and there but feel like a bad mommy if I do much more than this. So for all you men and non prego women Live it up!





Some describe it as butterflies....I think it feels more like my tummy rumbling and digesting...nope it's a boy!!! And it's pretty awesome!



Sometimes I think that being pregnant feels like I just ate a gigantic meal...full and tight to the brim...and I know I have yet a long ways to go :)



Lately at work I have really mastered being easily annoyed with and at people...I hate Politics and backbiting! You'd have to ask Rob if I am ornery to find out the real truth!

I love this...

I have to say that I have been so blessed not to be puking my guts out as my job really doesn't cater to this type of behavior! I have felt really good thus far and am quite content! I am very grateful and happy! Little Benton is getting bigger, measures appropriately, and has a good and normal heart rate. I know I am just in the beginning still, but I do think babies are truly beautiful miracles!
Rob continues to be excited and blows rasberries on my belly because he thinks he is talking to Benton in their own language. I have yet to convince him that babies are beautiful from the moment they hit the world...even covered in all that fun stuff!

Sleeping on my back is the worst. I'll trade you. Actually I can only sleep on my stomach which is just bad for me all around.
Can we please have a play date soon? Rob will even be invited. I must see you. And you must see my new apartment.

Just take advantage of sleep now. I can't sleep on my back anymore. You are too funny and cute! :)

Oh Sarah dear your bladder will NEVER be the same. Wait till your second and you have to cross your legs every time you cough, sneeze or laugh. Its pleasant!! Oh the joys of motherhood that no one tells you about!

Sarah I am so so excited for you and Rob. Nothing can truly describe being a mother. It is the most rewarding feeling to know you brought a beautiful miracle into this world because of Heavenly Fathers plan. Even through the fits, screaming/crying, not listening, and others joys of being a mom, just know that the hugs, kisses, and "I love you's" completely outweigh all the other stuff. I know that Rob is going to feel the same way. It is awesome having kids!!

Is it a problem that I already have to cross my legs when I sneeze and I can hardly jump on the tramp. I will buy us depends in bulk at Sams Club in a few short years Im sure. No worries friend. I will be right there with you!
