26 Weeks!

How far along? 26 Weeks

Maternity clothes? I think I may go do some "me" shopping tomorrow. : )
Stretch marks? Still doing ok. I'm slacking off with the lotion lately- hopefully I don't regret it later!
Sleep: My body is preparing me for the crappy sleep schedule to come. The good news is- it's getting easier to function on 4-5 hours sleep!
Best moment this week: the weekend is always the best part of my week- just trying to spend some quality time with my man before my other man gets here <3
Miss Anything? hot dogs.. i'm sure it's not a huge deal to have one but i'm trying to avoid eating food that I'm not 100% sure of the contents :) margaritas (still). sleeping on my stomach. I have to say though one of the perks of being pregnant is that people are SO nice to you. Like, even people in Walmart! Oh and we got coffee (and a tea for me) on the house this morning- i'm totally chalking it up to how big and uncomfortable I look ; )
Movement? the last week or so his movement has really changed, he seems so much more responsive to voices and us touching the belly. The kicks and squirms don't seem quite as random as they were before. 
Food cravings: still sweets, apples & granola bars. 
Anything making you queasy or sick:  nope
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: not yet. he can stay in there for awhile til he's about 7lbs then he's welcome to come as early as he wants!!
Symptoms: Out of breath really easy. I haven't heard anyone else say this is a "symptom" but the last few days my inner thigh muscels having been killing me! I haven't done anything differently, maybe it could be from the way I'm carrying the baby? I have no idea. 
Belly Button in or out? out
Wedding rings on or off? still on
Happy or Moody most of the time: really happy. Warmer weather is really helping my  mood!

Baby Gear:  super stoked I found an ottoman at target for half the price i was going to pay at CB2. The nursery is really coming together, I can't wait to share the final result!

This week we signed up for basically every baby class the hospital offers. May will be super busy for mom and dad! We decided to do the all day (8:30-4:30) labor class instead of going several nights. There's a breastfeeding and infant care class that I think will be really helpful too! 

We had a lot of fun going through some of Eric's baby pictures last night- I think it's safe to say Baby Anderson will have chubby cheeks and big brown eyes! ; )

25 Weeks

How far along? 25 and a few days

Total weight gain:  14 lbs-Yikes. Trying to stay a little active- shopping has been my cardio lately ;) Also doing a little yoga when I'm sore (which is all the time). I start a prenatal yoga class at the hospital in a few weeks- excited to be around more pregnant ladies! :)
Maternity clothes? another pair of "normal" jeans bit the dust this morning. A lot of my regular shirts are still fitting well though. 
Stretch marks? belly is still looking good! Just my dark line down the middle which I have had since day 1. 
Sleep: pretty good. 
Best moment this week: Saw our little man again today. <3
Miss Anything? sitting out back on a sunny day and having a cocktail with the husband. The weather is finally looking up, but sipping on a water with lemon isn't quite as nice of a treat. 
Movement? yep still really active and strong. I'm starting to be able to tell where his head/legs/arms are which is kinda cool. 
Food cravings: I've been on a mexican kick lately. And banana flavored anything. 
Anything making you queasy or sick:  nope- feeling good!
Gender: snips and snails and puppy dog tails
Labor Signs: nope, doctor told me today not to freak out if i start feeling tightening but haven't felt a thing yet. 
Symptoms: Other than feeling like I'm carrying around an extra 40 lbs I feel great! 
Belly Button in or out? out
Wedding rings on or off? still on
Happy or Moody most of the time: still more emotional than normal, but in general very happy and anxious to meet our little guy.

Baby Gear:  ordered our new blinds and curtains this week, got blackout on both so hopefully the room will be like a little cave. 

Doctor's Visit: went well! Grateful the baby is healthy. He is measuring 26 weeks (he's been 5-7 days bigger pretty consistently), but my doctor is keeping June 22nd as our due date. I had my glucose test today to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes. We'll find out the results later today or tomorrow- I'm hoping the last two months of my sugar cravings haven't caused me any problems! Also had a needle stuck in my bum today for the RhoGAM shot :( All these needles will be worth it though, right!? 

Six Months Sober ; )

Finally feeling like my belly looks more like a baby and less like a beer gut!

Our weekend was pretty busy with nursery stuff and nursing a nasty cold, so I didn't get a chance to take an "official" picture. Here's some of the highlights from our week though! The baby's glider finally arrived and I can already tell I will be spending lots and lots of time in it snuggled up with my little boy <3.

Enchanted Cherish Glider

I was a tiny bit nervous ordering it online without getting a feel for it first- but since it had such great reviews I figured it would be fine! First impression is that I love it ;)

 Eric has been wonderful the last few weeks- I have loads of respect for mamas who go through pregnancies without someone to get them something from the kitchen every 2 minutes! He did the majority of the painting and cleaned our carpets. I feel pretty useless since it takes about 5 minutes of activity to make me out of breath. 

Next Up: Crib assembled, New car shopping, and Baby Shower just around the corner! yay! :D
