How far along? 26 weeks, 5 days
Maternity clothes: Mostly, but still mixing in the regular shirts that are long enough to cover the bump!
Stretch marks: No change in this department, thank goodness.
Sleep: Depends, but not the greatest. Partly our fault for going to bed so late, but it is so much more fun to watch baby boy do gymnastics in my belly while watching the Olympics on TV, and reading/singing to him late at night when he is most active.
Best moment this week: Getting ready for another vacation with Daniel and family; Being loved on at work for a birthday lunch; Talking baby names to try to finalize it (and laughing in the process); Finishing the plan/theme for the nursery so we can order stuff!
Miss Anything: Being able to bend over to pick something up without grunting! Sleeping straight through a night without interruption or running to the bathroom every five seconds; Wearing my wedding rings all the time.
Movement: He is bound to be a gymnast with all of the flips and jabs he does!
Symptoms: Restless legs/cramps, HUNGER all the time, more of the same in all other departments, more leaky ladies (TMI), and mood swings.
Food cravings: Anything in sight. Still lots of protein and ice cream (not together though! haha). And wine...probably the one thing I miss the most.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The usual.
Have you started to show yet: Um...I should probably just remove this question. But on a new note, the belly button is out and proud, the line is darker, and by the end of the day, I feel like I am picking up my stomach off the ground. haha
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks are a bitch. Just saying.
Belly Button in or out?: OUT!
Wedding rigns on or off: On and off, depending on the swelling level because I don't want to take any chances. I'm really hoping I can make them work (or at least have a good swelling day) for our showers and maternity pictures...but that is around the 33 week mark...yeah right!
General Mood: A rollar coaster of fun, but mostly happy. Certain things make me anxious (finances, the nursery that is nowhere close to being done, the possibility of bed rest and not being able to go home for our shower in September, etc).
Best advice this week: To relax and put my feet up. After I posted about our last appointment, all of the kind words we received and prayers being sent our way was so touching. I know that this little boy is already so loved.
Worst advice this week: Not really advice, but it is funny how some people automatically assume that I should be ashamed of my stomach/weight.
Exercise: Taking it a bit easier this week, other than the usual.
Looking forward to: Vacation with the Gilberts, and all of the fun that August and September will bring. Hard to believe I will be in the third trimester so soon!
