My Pregnancy @ 21 Weeks

I am now 21 weeks and whenever people ask me how I'm feeling, I tell them okay, and that I feel much bigger than I am. Here are a few shots of me before church yesterday. I'm not wearing any make up so I look pretty shiny, but then again I always look shiny... I know I look small in these pictures. I am wearing black and I hate to be so forward but most of my baby bump is literally in my crotch. Why must I carry SO low!? This pregnancy has been a wimpy one. I feel so weak, old, and aged! My back hurts sometimes. My feet hurt almost all the time. My boobs hurt. I have inherited my mother's dry crusty feet and it's all I can do to keep them scrubbed and moisturized. My boobs only hurt because they are seriously constantly getting bigger. With my two previous pregnancies, I never felt like they got any bigger til the baby was born and I was breastfeeding. This pregnancy is a different story. My boobs are being smashed every day because my bras don't fit anymore, something I have never experienced before. These are the bras I wore when I was nursing Phoenix and they don't even fit during this pregnancy, what am I going to do when the baby comes and I'm nursing Amar'e, they'll be even bigger then!? Having bigger boobs is not all bad :) ...I just have got to get a bigger bra!
On a side note I am really happy I cut my hair off. I have gotten what seems like hundreds of compliments from everybody. I love doing it. I love the way it looks. I love wearing big dangly earrings with it. I even love my natural color. I think Sharrid likes it too.
Amar'e is starting to kick instead of just move and flutter. I read in my weekly pregnancy email that because of hormonal changes I might experience some acne. Yep. I'm faithful on my face washing but my face isn't all that great right now. Atleast I know why and I can blame it on the pregnancy.
Anyway, there's a pregnancy update from me and if I don't post anything again til after the Holiday, have a Merry Christmas! We have a heady and hectic new year ahead of us!
