this weekend mom came down on saturday (thank goodness for her, especially this weekend as al worked 12 hours friday, saturday and sunday. and there's so much darkness.) we went to a craft sale at an elementary school (mom bought a scarf and found 2 new styles of scarfs to crochet). then went to joann to stock up a lil more on their 25% off everything. :) picked up some eats at panera and the grocery store, and went back to bloomer. we painted the final coat on the baby's dresser and the 1st coat of paint on the changing table (what a pain in the butt to paint a changing table). we also had a nap and some rearranging of the office/closet/guest (mom's) room. it was both a productive and relaxing day. and my hips didn't hurt!
one month til school is over!! and 2 weeks til thanksgiving & a short week!
had my gestational diabetes test this week; the juice stuff wasn't bad (i'd heard horror stories) but did give me heartburn. sounds like it's likely sugar causing some of my heartburn. met another one of the midwives i hadn't met yet and she was so sweet and charismatic! and much more of a talker :) when i laid on the table she said "boy you've got a lot of room to stretch out in huh? how tall are you?" needless to say, she was short. yes, this long torso is nice for baby, lots of room in there. but sometimes i'd like to look as pregnant as i feel.
on wednesday when i was in a meeting at work, i folded my arms on top of my belly and each time i did, the baby kicked right there. then i'd move my arms and he'd stop. :) perhaps he can feel me.
a little side by side of weeks 15, 20 and 25. guess he has popped out a bit :)
How far along: 26 weeks
How big is baby: size of a head of lettuce
Weight gain/loss: 12-15 pounds
Stretch marks: none
Sleep: still sleeping pretty well; flip flop from side to side often.
Diet/Cravings/Aversions: nothing really, wanting donuts often, not a craving per say but just always want a donut. maybe this guy is gonna be a cop like his daddy :)
Movement: feeling movement daily; this is one active little boy...
What I'm loving: tuesdays when al is off, no school for me so i get to come home at noon and then it's almost like we get a whole day at home together. got lots done this tuesday.
Symptoms: just the heartburn, mostly at night. and feeling like i'm going to throw up when i bend over, especially when getting into bed at night. and a bit of hip pain later in the week.
What I'm looking forward to: the softball party this weekend, a photo shoot with manda's girls, football sunday with al, and thanksgiving (both the food and family time and the time off work and school)
Best moment of the week: the weekend was great! productivity and relaxtion!
How I'm feeling: missing crossfit! one of my coworkers started it and she tells me all about her workout and how insane it is and it gets me all pumped up! man, i love crossfit and lifting! need to stretch and do small crossfit workouts at home more often!
