New Discoveries

Well, Little Miss Pigott has been to Maui and snorkeled with Hawaiian Green Turtles, beautiful coral and tropical fish. Not sure if she liked flying or not, but she didn't stop kickboxing the whole flight! We had a fabulous time and enjoyed one of our last trips as just the two of us for a while.

Here are some of my discoveries during pregnancy:
1. I LOVE Caesar salad.
2. I definitely do have a coffee addiction because I can't wait to have coffee again. I go downstairs in the mornings at the office after the coffee has been brewed just to smell it.
3. Swollen ankles are not fun.
4. People are much nicer to pregnant women.
5. People stare at pregnant bellies.
6. I'm hot all of the time.
7. My feet grew an entire shoe size.
8. I have lost all ability to concentrate on one task from start to finish.
9. I'm thirsty ALL the time.
10. Sitting like a lady with my legs crossed is a thing of the past and it is very annoying to be unable to cross my legs.

As you can see below, Little Missy has grown since our last photoshoot. Here we are at 25 weeks.

Sweet Cravings

I am officially hungry all of the time! I gained my biggest weight gain this month but my doctor said I was due for a bigger gain since I haven't gained much yet. I'm sure if I gain another 10 lbs next month, he won't be as nice about it!

Little Miss Pigott already has a sweet tooth (I can't be solely blamed for this considering her father also loves his Reeses).

Here are some of latest cravings:
Snickers
Blizzards from Dairy Queen (yes, they must also be Snickers)
Tootsie Rolls
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Easter Candy: Starburst jelly beans are amazing and I've always loved the mini chocolate Cadburry eggs - SO good

Don't worry, I also still eat regular food as well:
Turkey sandwiches (I think I've eaten more turkey sandwiches in the past 5 months, than I've ever eaten in my entire life!)
Potatoes: potato cheese soup, mustard potato salad, and even egg, cheese and potato burritos (very strange considering I've never been a big fan of them and only eat them during the Holidays)
Mexican Food (I could eat salsa with a spoon right now)
Salads (believe it or not, I do usually opt for a salad at lunch meetings)

Holy Bump-a-licious!

21 Weeks


Well, I think you can finally look at me and say, "She's pregnant!" I was at an event yesterday and a man walked up to me and asked when I was due. I was shocked at first since people are a little timid to ask the question. My boss who was standing there when it happened said later, "You definitely do look pregnant now." He then went on to tell me that I'm walking pregnant. Really?

Later on that night at home I was trying on some clothes to see what fits and realized I definitely do look pregnant. Paul is ecstatic and LOVES the belly.

I've started feeling some of the movement that I see during each ultrasound. The other day Little Miss Pigott did not stop moving from the time I got to work in the morning until I went to bed that evening. Let's hope she gets the busy body out of her when she's born so mommy and daddy don't miss out on too much sleep! I know, wishful thinking. :)

Our next doctor's appointment is next week - we will let you all know how it goes! Hopefully, I don't get scolded for my weight gain. :/
