| Oh hello there Basketball sized Uterus. Ew, Uterus. Ew, I said Uterus! |
I just want to start by saying how weird the fruit/ vegetable comparisons are for each week!! He went from a grapefruit to a zucchini??? That doesn't even make sense. Maybe it's that now he's the length of a zucchini? This current week, week 26, he's the size of an eggplant. I just can't picture it. And you better believe everytime we go to the store we go thru the produce isle and hold up whatever veggie baby is and analyze it. At the very least, we've gotten some good laughs over this! I don't know if any men read this, but if you do I'll apologize in advance for the next sentence. My Uterus is the size of a BASKETBALL! A freaking basketball!!!!! This blew my mind, but is very believable when looking down. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Pregnancy is weird. Ok, well now that i've gotten WAY off topic, let's get to it.
Week 25 was a good one, with new pregnancy related developments. I started getting leg cramps, especially on the days that I would wear heels. It's not horrible, but it is enough to keep me steering clear of heels for a while. My ribs have also been getting a sharp pain on the sides at the very top. Last week it was only on the left side, but this week it's been on the right side. I don't feel movement up there, so I don't know if it is the baby's foot or not, but it's very noticeable/ a quick change when it starts to hurt. Also, my preggo related scatter brain is in FULL FORCE! Oh my goodness, I've been such a space cadet lately. Not that I wasn't always a little loopy, but it's getting noticeably worse. Apparently all of this is normal, but I'm not a fan. None of these instances were really that bad, just new occurances worth mentioning. Even with all of this, we had a great week.
How far along? 26 weeks, 2 days today
Total weight gain/loss? Ummmm. Yea, not even going to torture myself with checking this.
Maternity clothes? Big changes as far as pre-pregnancy tops; they've magically started becoming shorter. Silly bump getting in the way, and all. Dangit! I was thinking I'd get away with not having to buy new tops, but I'm going to have to get a few new ones, for work at the very least.
Stretch marks? None thankfully.
Sleep? Clay was out of town for 4 days this week, and the dogs took this as a sign that mama needs to be smothered in bed! To the point where Jeter would squish himself between my belly and the preggo pillow, and Roxy would stretch across my back side, and refuse to move when I tried to roll over. Any time I'd pick Jeter up, and move him, he's immediately dart right back to wherever there was an opening for him. He was sleeping directly against me one way or another. They were complete brats, and I didn't sleep well. I love their snuggles, but sheesh!
Best moment this week? Clay finally getting to meet Kelsey's family on Thanksgiving :-) They're like family, and I always do holiday's with them when I don't go back to North Carolina so it was really special having him over there with me. Also, Eating leftovers from Thanksgiving for 4 days straight! :-) I always make my mama's Brocolli Cheese Casserole, and the leftovers are BOMB!
Miss Anything? Rare Steak
Movement? Getting stronger every day. I'm starting to learn his schedule/patterns, and freak out if I haven't felt him move in a few hours. Guilty mommy moment- If I haven't felt him in what I feel like is too long, I'll drink 1/2 a soda to get him moving. I don't do this often so hold off on the caffeine lecture! I'm allowed to have one a day, but I only have 1 or 2 a week so zip it. Lol horrible I know, but once I feel him it makes me feel better.
Food/Drink cravings? Brocolli Cheese Casserole leftovers. They're all gone, but I'll be making another batch this week. ;-p
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Have you started to show yet? Oh Yes! This week was the first time someone from the building that I work at noticed/asked if I was expecting.
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor Signs? Nope
Belly Button in or out? More so flat, than an inney. Clay finds this part of pregnancy absolutely HILARIOUS! He makes a point to comment on my belly button every time he sees my belly...... yea.....hilarioius. Hmph
Happy or Moody most of the time? Very happy
Looking forward to? Same story, different week. Putting together the nursery :-)
