This weekend, I will officially be 26 weeks pregnant! Daily, it's surreal. I told Alan the other night, I often find myself saying, "When this baby is finally out, I can..." The blank is usually filled in with "Sleep through the night.", "Not have to pee so often." "Rest in peace without movement.", etc... But I quickly laugh and remind myself that once she's here, our whole world will be different! No more me me me! (Wasn't I supposed to give that up once I got married?! Alan... please tell me I am less selfish!)
I have seen this blog on other's who are pregnant, so I decided to share. :)
Weight Gain/Loss: Totally not sharing this information....
Maternity Clothes? Oh yes! I have been in maternity pants since my 14th week... I could have gone with the belly band, but leaving my pants unbuttoned, with my zipper pressing into my stomach never sounded comfortable to me.
Gender: It's a girl! :) I can't wait to meet her!
What I miss: I miss not having to get up to pee at night. I can't remember ever having to get up to do this. It was probably God's plan to get me in the routine of sleepless nights! :)
Weekly Wisdom: I don't have any...
Milestones: I have had a wonderful and healthy pregnancy so far. I am still awaiting the test results from my glucose test last week, but they haven't called, so I am assuming that went well.... I think I will call :)
Sleep: I usually sleep pretty well, but most nights I do have to pee around 3am. Sleeping on my sides is really annoying b/c it hurts my shoulder; however, the doctor told me that I could prop my back up with my body pillow so that I was at an angle. That helps a lot, and I try to sleep with one side elevated like that.
Energy: Pretty good! I usually try to nap every afternoon, but honestly, there are times when I can't! SHOCKING, I KNOW! But, when I don't nap, I am checking out by 10! Otherwise, I can make it to 11 or so... We've both started to get the urge to purge things, so that's good! :)
Exercise: I should work on this.... My problem is that I sit at a desk all day...
Movement: She is quite the acrobat!
Food cravings: FOOD! Salty, rich, spicy, flavorful food! Terrible, I KNOW! I also crave MILK... but I drink Skim, so this is ok :) Also, I am generic and also crave ice-cream... but without the pickles ;)
What I am looking forward to: Seeing Alan with her :) I know that he is going to be wonderful through the labor and delivery... he is so compassionate.
Preparations: Yeah... we are a little behind, but mostly b/c I can't really decide on bedding... I know what I want and I can't find it, but I have a close second, so we'll most likely go with that. Afterall, bedding won't change who she is! :)
Best Moment this Week: Alan bought me a new maternity shirt for spring. Just because :)
