Weeks 22-28

Symptoms:
I'm starting to feel physically uncomfortable. My belly has grown significantly so bending down is difficult. Just the day to day housework and taking care of the kids tires me out. I'm also having some TMI issues along with my usual pelvic pain and discomfort.

Cravings:
Lately I crave comfort foods (steak, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, etc) and Mexican food. How could I not I am half Mexican lol. Also now that I am nearly in the 3rd trimester my tastebuds have normalized and I can handle sweets again. I am always craving something sweet.

Sleep:
I sleep okay but occasionally wake up early unable to go back to sleep right away. I also feel uncomfortable while trying to sleep because every time I move or turn myself my body aches.

Happy or Moody?
I would say I am happy overall but I get moody a lot easier this pregnancy. I definitely feel like I have a shorter temper than usual. I also seem to be more bothered by little things than I usually do.

Looking forward to:
I'm currently looking forward to (but also overwhelmed by) setting up her nursery. I need to get her a crib and all the things for her. What also makes planning her nursery a little stressful is the fact that she will be sharing a room with her brother and I feel like I won't be able to make it as girly as I would have liked. :( (I know...1st world problems)
