How far along? 26 weeks
Total weight gain: +17
Maternity clothes? Same pair of pants and I ordered a maternity shirt online but haven’t worn it yet. It is pretty roomy, so I may wait until I am a bit larger to actually wear it. Pregnancy makes it so that already boring clothes become even more boring. Time to get rid of those 3 years old shirts.
Stretch marks? Nope, thank goodness.
Sleep: Not too shabby now that I don’t worry about sleeping throughout the night anymore. I am pretty dead tired by the end of the day, so it’s usually pretty easy to fall asleep.
Best moment this week: Baby boy having a dance party in my belly rolling around for literally 10 minutes straight when I wake up. It is the BEST way to wake up in the morning.
Miss Anything? Same old, same old. I miss my lunch sandwiches and moving around a lot. Please don’t make me move if I don’t have to.
Movement: Oh yes, keep it coming little guy! Recently he has found his way up to my ribs and the very edge of my side… not too sure how he gets clear over there.
Food cravings: Just food in general. I want to eat all of the time and anything that is cooked for me (instead of something that I make for myself) tastes really really good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling pretty good lately, I am paranoid that bananas will make me gag if I do try to eat them, so I just haven’t tried again.
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: Nada.
Symptoms: Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy! Getting big, and more stationary every day.
Belly Button in or out? Flat. Sometimes the top barely pops out, but hopefully it’ll just stay how it is now.
Wedding rings on or off? On. I have noticed that my other rings have become tighter though.
Mood: Very happy. I’m loving life and am getting a lot done and ready. Super anxious for the big day!
Looking forward to: Finishing all of my projects. Our swivel bottom for our chair is being delivered today (come on, UPS!). And…. All of the sweet little kicks I’ll be getting.
Random ramblings of a pregnant woman:
**I wish that either my jeans were more comfortable or my leggings were not see-through. Jeans are starting to cut too high on my belly and are getting quite unbearable but I am not one to go out in public in my pajamas so it’s becoming a huge pain to go out.
**My gestational diabetes test is next week at my appointment. I have had nightmares about this, guys. It stresses me out. In case you don’t know, you have to drink a super sugary orange liquid in a couple minutes an hour before my appointment and then they draw blood to check for a type of diabetes that is common during pregnancy. Now I have heard that drinking the juice is the worst part, but that’s not the part I am worried about. Apparently there are a lot of false positives from this test and if you test positive you have to take it again. Except you have to fast for 10-12 hours before they test you again. I just have this fear that I am going to fail and have to go through the awful fasting period. I really don’t think I could do it. I get ornery if I don’t eat, and I would just be a huge mess. Ugh, it’s horrible.
Your blog is so cute alecia! Don't worry about the gestational diabetes test, you'll pass with flying colors for sure. From what I understand and what my friend told me (because she had it) was that your highest chance of getting it, is being over weight in your pregnancy. She was obese in hers and so she had to be super careful with eating and exercise. I was a bit overweight with both my kids and I passed with flying colors. I'm not sure if genetics take a toll though? But I am sure you'll be just fine! you look great and have done well about not going crazy with gaining weight. I am so excited to see pics of this super adorable baby boy!! :)
ReplyDeleteCute! Don't worry about that test. Just relax and you'll be ok. Everyone always made a big deal about how awful the drink is. I didn't think it was bad at all. It just tastes like an orange soda. It's fun to see you growing (in a good way).
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute :)
