Month Six




So I've made it to my sixth month of pregnancy! Less than 30 days and I'll be in my third trimester...yikes! By request I'm put up a couple of pictures of my baby bump. I finally think that I look pregnant and not just fat and I think that it helps that complete strangers having started asking me when I'm due. Sorry they're just cell phone pictures taken in mirrors. When I actually remember to take pictures of my bump it's when I'm home alone.
So far in this pregnancy...
  • I get dandruff and acne on my shoulders (yeah I'm attractive!)
  • I crave chocolate but not plain chocolate. Just chocolatey things like brownies!
  • I'm obsessed with mayonaise. I don't eat spoonfuls of it or anything but I like it a lot!
  • I also went through a tomato phase.
  • My weight gain is right on track but believe me when I say the numbers on the scale are starting to stress me out.
  • She kicks like crazy!
  • I wake up every morning at 6am needing to pee.
  • Working even a 4 hour shift on my feet exhausts me and my feet have started swelling.
  • I have crazy dreams
  • During the first trimester I threw up while brushing my teeth at least 50% of the time. I gagged 100% of the time.
  • I haven't gotten to experience the "fuller, thicker" hair everyone raves about during pregnancy. I lose just as much hair in the shower now as I did before I was pregnant.
  • However, hair has grown around my belly button...yet even more evidence of my attractiveness.
and we're pretty set on a name....
Isabel Susann Jackson
We plan on calling her Izzie. If you know me pretty well then you know I may or may not have taken the name Isabel from Grey's Anatomy... (I know, I know I'm obsessed but it's such a pretty name). And Susann is a combination of our mom's names. Susie + RaeAnn = Susann

  2. Yeah pictures! I'm excited to see you and Lisa in November and see your bellies! And I LOVE the name. I could never combine our mother's names, Kathy and Marlys, that would just be an odd combination. But I like the family name as middle names. Hence, James after Dustin's middle name. I'm so so excited for you!
