26 Weeks

How Far Along: 26 Weeks

Size of Baby: Lee weigh's a little over 2 lbs and is approximately 14 inches long.

Total Weight Gained/Lost: Up 12 lbs. last I checked...may have added a few over the past couple weeks though... :)

Maternity Clothes: Yes....I'm actually enjoying being in these clothes. It makes getting ready SO much easier. I don't have NEAR the amount of clothes to chose from and my friends that I work with know that they will be seeing me in the same things over and over until February. I kinda like it!

Movement: He moves a lot but I've noticed he likes to sleep a lot, too! There is a good mixture throughout the day of him moving and sleeping. Maybe he'll still be a good sleeper when he gets here....maybe??!!

Sleep: My sleep is ok....I've had the runny nose/sore throat/achyness this week which has preventaed me from getting just wonderful (wonderful these days is only waking up 2-3 times per night...) sleep. Phillip was so kind to remind me this morning that the sleep I'm getting now will be the best sleep I get for months!! THANKS HONEY! :)

What I miss: Bending over normally, getting up from a laying position easily....all those things are starting to prove a little more difficult these days. I have to laugh at my self though, because I'm sure seeing me get out of the bed in the mornings is a sight to see. Phillip is (for the most part) very sweet when it comes to this. He (sometimes) tries to help giving an extra "push" when needed. Although there have been times when he just watches as I heave back and forth trying to muster up the strength to get up! HA! :)

Aversions: Nothing new this week

Symptoms: No new crazy symptoms....I was thinking back on this pregnancy (so far) and have realized that we have been extremely fortunate. I had absolutely no morning sickness, very few headaches, indegestion/heart burn has been kept to a minimum....I've just been very lucky! I know I still have 14 weeks to go and LOTS could change between now and then, but until that point, I'm going to count my blessings and continue on. Thank you, Lord!

Highlights from this Week: So many new highlights from this week to document!! First off, I was able to go home this past weekend and spend some MUCH needed time with my family, the kids, etc.. I had a great time (just wish Phillip and Tubs were there). Secondly, while I was gone, Phillip went and purchased Lee's glider for his nursery. His parents are coming in town tomorrow to help with the nursery....there will be LOTS to update on hopefully after this week. Third, we are SO excited and can't wait for our good friends Melinda and Thomas to get here this weekend. I can't wait to visit and spend some time with them on their way to OK! And last but certainly not least, we are only 3 weeks away from our 3D/4D ultrasound!!! My doctor says he likes to wait until I'm right at 30 weeks because he feels the babies are cuter (with more baby fat!) then they would be any sooner. We can't WAIT to get a good look at little man's chubby cheeks!!! SO EXCITED!
