26 weeks- 14 more to go!!

I'll post a picture later

How far along?  26 weeks

Size of baby? My app says the size of

Heartbeat? 142 BPM at the last apt

Total weight gain/loss? +7 I don’t know how that’s possible. I feel like there is 20 extra pounds there!!

Maternity clothes? Yep, I wish more places had cute maternity dresses, but for now it’s pants and tops. Maybe when spring comes…

Stretch marks? No, but you could make some really cool art out of the veins that are all over my body.

Sleep? Sleeping is fine, except that I was sick most of this week so that made it tough.

Best moment this week? Seeing her flip around in my belly. I could see my entire belly move at some points

Movement? A lot. But more when I’m lying down which is usually at night.

Food cravings?  Nothing really. Just not food that’s too heavy. It makes me feel swollen and bloated.

Gender predictions? GIRL The initials as of this week are EGP

What I miss:  Doing things for myself. It’s frustrating having to rely on people to do things you’re used to doing for yourself!

What I'm looking forward to: Getting the room finished so I can start the fluff decorating.

How are you feeling? This week was rough! On Tuesday my blood pressure dropped to 86/52 and I nearly passed out at school. And then after that I’ve had a nasty cough and stuffed up nose. It made for a difficult week!

week 25- 15 to go!

Buying my crib   

                                         Cinnamon likes to lay on my belly. The other day her ears went up every time she got kicked. 

How far along?  25 weeks

Size of baby? My app says the size of an eggplant

Heartbeat? 142 BPM at the last apt

Total weight gain/loss? +8

Maternity clothes? Yep!  Some regular tops still fit but I don’t want to stretch them out.  

Stretch marks? Still haven’t noticed this yet. But I do have lots of blue veins.  

Sleep? Depends on the night. I had pretty stressful dreams this week that caused me to feel like I didn’t sleep well.  

Best moment this week? I finally picked a crib!

Movement? LOTS of movement. Mostly at night.  

Food cravings? Still would rather have a sandwich or cereal over a heavy meal like steak

Gender predictions? GIRL

What I miss:  I’d like to be able to move furniture and not have to wait for people to do it for me.

What I'm looking forward to: putting my nursery together! The fabric for my bedding has been purchased and my mother-in-law is working on that, I picked the paint colors and bought a crib so now I just have to start putting it together.  

How are you feeling? Still struggling with acid reflux which is NO fun!

24 weeks!

How far along?  24 weeks

Size of baby? My app says the size of an eggplant

Heartbeat? Last week the dr said 142 BPM

Total weight gain/loss? +6 à Last week it was actually +7 but when school started back I made an effort to eat more non processed foods and more fruit/veggies.

Maternity clothes? Yep! Some regular shirts and dresses are fine, but it’s just more comfortable to wear maternity clothes. Even my yoga pants kinda cut in.

Stretch marks? Not yet, but I have blue veins in various parts of my body.

Sleep? All I wanted to do was sleep this week.

Best moment this week?

Movement? Yep! She moves a lot! Especially right b before bed

Food cravings? I think this question should be meant for Anthony. He seems to suffer more from cravings that I do.

Gender predictions? GIRL, now we just need a name!

What I miss: I don’t know. I would still like to move things on my own and not have to wait for other people

What I'm looking forward to: starting the process of putting the baby’s room together.

How are you feeling? This week was rough. We started back to school and my body wasn’t prepared for being up all day. I came home and cried. Then Tuesday everything made me nauseous. Plus that lovely side effect of acid reflux is getting ridiculous.

22 weeks

How far along?  22 weeks

Size of baby? My app says the size of a papaya

Heartbeat? I forgot to ask at the last dr. apt. We go next week so I’ll find out then.

Total weight gain/loss? +6 à Yikes. I think I’m going to hate posting this later!

Maternity clothes? Yep! Some regular shirts and dresses are fine, but it’s just more comfortable to wear maternity clothes.

Stretch marks? Not yet, but I have blue veins in various parts of my body.

Sleep? Pretty good. I slept a lot while on vacation. It was great!

Best moment this week? Being off school and relaxing!

Movement? I feel lots of movements but I only think I’ve felt one kick so far. Anthony still hasn’t felt anything.

Food cravings? Still like cereal for dinner, but that’s really it.

Gender predictions? GIRL, now we just need a name!

What I miss: Being able to move things myself. I got really annoyed at Anthony when it came to putting up Christmas stuff. I also would just like to move the furniture upstairs myself rather than wait for someone else to finally do it.

What I'm looking forward to: starting the process of putting the baby’s room together.

How are you feeling? Pretty good, but not looking forward to going back to school.
