Six Months Down!

Today was the big 24-week mark! Whew. Thought I would never get here. This is supposedly the week of viability - which means if Baby Coleman decided to pop out today, he would have a chance of survival (although he seems to be very content in his uterine home). While I'm hoping he will come a week or two early, the important thing is that he is fully developed, healthy, and ready to take on the world!

The biggest obstacle for me at the moment has been learning how to sit up comfortably. My belly, while still on the smaller side, pushes up into my ribs, making it difficult to breathe! I never thought that breathing would be an issue, but last night I woke up gasping for air. My doctor has assured me that it is normal...just super annoying.

And I've discovered a new love for comfy sweaters with ruching on the sides. Basically, anything that leaves ample space for my tummy is my friend. I'm still squeezing into my regular jeans (maternity pants tend to slide right off at the moment). I got excited and bought two pairs of maternity pants - only to find myself pulling them up every 10 seconds. Maybe I'll wear them closer to the end of the pregnancy. For now, I'm content in my new ruched sweater.
