Happy Memorial Day!

I am really excited to have these 3 days off. First Preview is next week and I am just bracing myself for being HUGE and putting in 10 plus hour days at 8 months pregnant. I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems like it was just January and I was 6 weeks and now next week I will be in the 3rd trimester and 7 months pregnant! I don't want to get too behind so here's the update:


How far along? 26 weeks and 5 days

Total Weight Gain: When I went to the dr. at 24 weeks I had gained 16lbs which was 7lbs in one month. That kinda freaked me out even though doctor said it was normal so I've been *trying* to watch what I eat and at least be a little more mindful. We'll see at my week 28 appt. Oh well I try to enjoy it since it's for the baby!

Maternity Clothes: Everything I wear now is maternity. It is usually more comfortable but so annoying having to buy more stuff every week or so because I keep getting bigger or it just doesn't fit right. And then you only wear it for a few months and you're no longer pregnant. I feel like I'm being duped into spending so much unecessary money but you have to have clothes that fit.

Stretch marks: Still haven't seen any but I don't exactly go looking for them. Hah.

Best Moment of the week: Un baby related, I am just excited about my Monday off. Baby wise- I am ready for him to be here. I mean obviously not really but am getting excited that it is getting closer to go time. I'm sure once it's here I'll be nervous and anxious but right now, I'm just excited.

Movement: He is still an afternoon mover. It's usually pretty regular but it varies day by day. At least I now know what it feels like and don't have to keep guessing. It is still movement and doesn't hurt me at this point. Can't wait for the day that he is so big he's punching and kicking my ribs Hah.

Food cravings: This is pretty much the same as last time. I just seem to be really hungry all the time. Like hunger pains an hour after I eat a meal. It gets better some days and worse others but I don't necessarily "crave" anything. I'm beginning to think that's an old wives tale or something.

Pregnancy symptoms: heartburn (pepcid is my friend), my hips hurt at night so sleeping is pretty awful at this point. they go numb or get really painful if I am on them for too long so I flip flop back and forth. I guess not sleeping well now is just preparation for when baby comes and I'll never sleep again haha. I love sleep- I really struggle with this. Other than that and the fact that I think I sometimes waddle, I am pretty good.



P.S. We have to get a new home computer because we had been using one Dale brought home from school that he had to turn in at the end of the school year and my old one from college is like 6 years old and dunzo. Hopefully, we'll get that over the summer so that when baby comes I can upload pictures and update a lot easier. That is my plan at least....
