26 weeks





Taken at 26 weeks 1 day, there's my little boy too!

How far along? 26 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain/loss: 7 lbs total

Feeling: I'm definitely wearing down, I get so tired around 8-8:30 most nights and fall asleep in the chair, which I haven't done since around 10-11 weeks. Otherwise, not horrible, heartburn has come back some, but not too bad yet.

Maternity clothes?: Same, same, same.

Sleep: Same, not too great. My hips have started to feel like they're popping in and out of place, which I remember all too well with Samson. Last night I woke up and whimpered out in pain, they hurt so bad.

Food cravings: Snickers still, not really much else.

Movement?: Same, and loving it

What I miss?: Sleep, again

Best moment this week:  Getting her room painted, the crib put together and the dresser stained! We just have to poly the dresser and put in the quarter round and the room will be ready for all the furniture to go in, then after that it's just linens!

What I'm looking forward to: December! I'm definitely getting anxious to meet her, but we have a lot of fun things coming up between now and then, so I am looking forward to those too!

Milestones: Today is my LAST day in 2nd trimester! This is crazyness!!

25 Weeks!



Taken at 25 weeks

How far along? 25 Weeks 5 Days

Weight gain/loss: Total gain 6.8lbs

Feeling: More tired and worn down. I'm definitely feeling 3rd tri coming on, pain in my hips, hard to get comfortable and OH JOY! Hand and feet swelling. Blech

Maternity clothes?: Same, but I don't know if my jeans are gonna fit me through my whole pregnancy.

Sleep: Bad, I've been having to take naps during the day to make it through.

Food cravings: Wendy's burgers and snickers bars.

Movement?: She's a wild one in there, flipping and flopping all over the place!

What I miss?: Sleep

Best moment this week:  Not this week, but last week, passing my glucose test!!

What I'm looking forward to: 3rd Tri!! Only about a week left in 2nd, I can't believe how fast this is going!

Milestones: Not really sure, I guess passing my test. Oh, and tomorrow I'm at 99 days until my due date, double digits!!

NBR, but my little boy turns two, TWO months form today! WHAAAAAAA??

Oops! Several Updates!


 22 weeks!

24 weeks!

Our beautiful baby girl at our A/S

How far along? 24 weeks 2 days

Weight gain/loss: I'm up a total of 5 lbs, but according to my doctor (since I lost weight in 1st tri), I've gained 12 lbs.

Feeling: Pretty good, my heartburn has chilled for now.

Maternity clothes?: Same

Sleep: Not too shabby, I only wake up a few times a night because my shoulders get sore, and once to pee, but that's a given.

Food cravings: Wendy's, we haven't been going out to eat as often so I've been missing it.

Movement?: She's been going crazy in there! It's so insane how much movement has changed in the past 5 weeks, I'm loving all the kicks.
 
What I miss?: The lack of back aches and ligament pain. Oh, and being able to have sex without my hips feeling like they're falling off my body.

Best moment this week: My appt was pretty good, I had my GD test and will hear back tomorrow if I passed or not. My doc says everything looks good and we talked about pain meds during labor and my labor with Samson. He said since I was able to get to 6-7 cm before my epi last time, there's a good chance I could go med free this time around. I'm not by any means desiring a med-free birth, but it would be nice to not have to have an epi just to experience labor fully. Oh, and not to mention saving us $250!! haha

What I'm looking forward to: The weekend! We've started cleaning out the spare room and I'm *hoping* we'll get it finished so we can paint and get the crib set up. We got a dresser we're restaining, an adorable antique rocking chair, and our new crib came yesterday! I'm so excited to see the room come together. 
Milestones: 24 weeks! I'm very thankful we've made it this far and hope everything keeps going well for 12 1/2 more weeks and then I'll definitely be ready for her to come out! I can't believe I have less than 3 weeks left in 2nd Tri. This is flying by and I know it's just going to go even faster with Halloween, Samson's birthday, Thanksgiving and my brother's wedding in the next 3 months. Craaaazzzyyyy.
