What's New In 26 weeks!

>> Tuesday, September 7, 2010

Happy Labor day!
Hope everyone had a good day off! It was nice to have Joe home for a three day weekend! Other than Madeline getting really sick this weekend and me starting to get sick yesterday and having a really sore throat today, it was a great weekend! It stinks that when one person in the house gets sick, everyone gets sick!
Hopefully we will all be back to normal soon!!
I am officially 26 weeks pregnant now!! WOW! It really is flying by!!! Things are starting to come together in Gabriel's room, and we pretty much have it done except for his crib area. I still need my bumper and curtains too! Then I promise, I will post pictures!
One more week and I will be starting my third trimester! Crazy!!! This pregnancy has definetly been harder while taking care of a toddler, but it has been a lot of fun!

Gabe is all over the place! I even woke up from a nap b/c he was kicking so hard! I have a feeling he is going to be so active when he is born! Back pain is really my only complaint so far. Every night I am lucky to get about 5 hrs of sleep b/c I can't get comfortable! I only fall asleep by Joe rubbing my back! God will reward him for that!!

If I had a million dollars I would get this pillow! I have a body pillow I use now, but it doesn't really do the trick! I just can't justify spending 50 dollars on a pillow..and I think this one is acutally $70! I know I would love it though! Look how tranquil this women looks while sleeping!


Other than that, I am doing great! Energy is good, no more problems with pre-term contractions..I still get some cramping here and there but I think it's b/c of my c-section scar tissue. That's what my Dr. sais at least! I continue to be STARVING all the time and DEFINETLY eat more than Joe around here! McDonald's cheeseburgers continue to be my #1 craving! Other than that, probably chocolate or sugar. I about lost it eating a piece of chocolate cake the other night! Joe was like, "It's not that good, jeez"! It is when your pregnant I guess!

Food definetly tastes better when your pregnant! I was embarrased b/c we went out to dinner with friends, and I ate everything on my plate and was still hungry. I pretended like I wasn't b/c I didn't want them to think I was a pig!!! I just came home and ate a little snack! I haven't gained any weight in 2 weeks which is encouraging after my 8lb weight gain at my last visit!! That was embarrasing as well!!!


Well, thats about it! I go to the Dr soon for my glucose test! Yuck! I always hated that visit! We are also gearing up for Kid's Market this weekend. I'm hoping we are able to sell all our stuff and also find some great deals as well, but I don't think you get to go shop for a couple more weeks! Can't wait to share my finds!!

I have one of those pillows & it was worth EVERY penny that we spent on it. Lord willing...maybe y'all will have more babies & you can use it with them. So glad to hear your feeling great :)

I feel like I'm reading my own post most of the time when you write about how you feel with pregnancy. I never had back pain with Zoë and now it's my number 1 complaint. I also have had way more intense contractions this time (never had those until the two weeks before Zoë came). Pregnancy pillow---yes, I wish I would have invested in one of those. I can't justify the money now, either...I only have 6-8 weeks left, so my body pillow & hundreds of other pillows on the bed will have to suffice. And girl...hungry all the time...yep, that's me too! Starving is more like what it feels like...almost as if you haven't eaten in days!!! Whew! I eat like a teenage boy...and I want sweets, sweets, and more sweets. Who knows, since we have so much in common...maybe that means I'm having a boy too! (One can hope!)

I'm sooooooo glad that you really are feeling good, though, and that things are going well with Gabriel! I've been praying for you guys when God places you on my mind.
