5 months pregnant

21 weeks and over halfway there! This pregnancy has gone by so fast!

I am already getting to the uncomfortable stage of this pregnancy. My skin is itchy and feels stretched so tight - like it is going to tear…My back hurts, I am achy all over - I can’t find a comfortable position to sleep - I have to wake up and change positions every half hour or so… If I move too fast, I pull my round ligament muscles… and I have to eat small meals because I constantly feel full, like there is no room in my belly for food (though I am really starting to get a big appetite)…
And I still have 4 more months too!

I swear I am bigger than these pictures show - I definitely look pregnant now - and I have a hard time getting dressed, bending down, putting shoes on - etc.
On a positive note, I am feeling the baby move constantly! I don’t know when this baby sleeps - it seems everytime I slow down and pay attention - I can feel movement - and lots of it. Rolls, bumps, kicks - Some so hard that I can see my belly move from the outside…
I need to really enjoy and pay attention these last couple months- because I know that July will be here before I know it!
