I’ve been kicking myself for letting another two weeks pass without an update! This blog is really just a treat to allow myself to look back at my pregnancy and I’m kind of failing by NOT posting all of the neat little moments I’ve experienced. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and it went great! I was given a few goodie bags and also - the glucose drink to take home and take for when I turn 28 weeks. I gained another 5 pounds since my last visit and my belly is measuring out perfectly. My doctor likes to show me my chart of risk factors which is a complete blank page. I think he gets a kick out of it and it makes me so happy and relieved too!
HOW FAR ALONG// 26 weeks and 5 days. I keep getting my weeks and days all mixed up. I thought I was still 25 weeks, but then I was like wait, am I already 27 weeks? And for a brief moment I scared myself into thinking I only had 8 more weeks left until I was due… My brain is mashed potatoes.
BABY SIZE// 9 inches long and the size of a glorious, deep, purple eggplant.
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN// 21 pounds. Seeing 145lbs on the scale seems pretty normal and good to me!
MATERNITY CLOTHES// I’m still finding a bunch of clothes to wear and do not plan on buying anything for myself for a very long time. I feel so guilty buying things for myself now. I’m shaking my head because I bought a few large shirts that I plan on returning because they make me look like a box! Ugh!
STRETCH MARKS// My belly skin is getting tight! No stretch marks in sight though. However, Max drained my confidence when he said those will come after the baby comes out… thanks, Bud.
SLEEP// Weeks 24 and 25 I experienced some of the worst leg pain! The joints of my knees felt so unbelievably sore which made sleeping that much more uncomfortable. This week I’ve been enjoying dear old Charley Horse. Every. Night. Also — I can’t stop sleeping on my back! Sorry baby!
BEST MOMENTS THIS WEEK// Sleeping in, summer thunder storms, and more people noticing my belly! Also, I’ve been getting caught up with The Bachelorette. I’ve been trying to actually pay attention to this season because I actually like Andi, past series I’ve blown off. It’s either that, or start my journey with Game of Thrones and I don’t think my brain is ready for that much excitement yet.
MISS ANYTHING// I’ve been serving up loads of summery alcoholic bee-vee-gees at the bar and nothing sounds better than an ice, cold, salty margarrrrrrita!
MOVEMENT// Lots of little squirms and wiggles happening in there and nothing too painful yet! Loving every bit of it.
CRAVINGS// Sweets still! I tell myself everyday, “Okay Sara, you will not have one sweet today.” And I fail. Always.
NAUSEA?// Still none. It’s sweet how many people go out of their way to ask if I’m feeling alright, and my reply is usually always pretty great!
SYMPTOMS// Just leg pain. No one ever really mentioned to me how bad your legs and joints start to hurt! My hips seem to be stretching as well. I was standing naked in the mirror the other day looking at my widening body and just taking in the fact that a human has to somehow make it’s way out of there! Yikes!
BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT// It’s beginning to surface! Not quite popping out though.
HAPPY OR MOODY// How about, tired? I am tired. But still happy! A little poopy too.
LOOKING FORWARD TO// A baby shower! However, it also has me anxious and stressed. I keep having nightmares about how awful it might turn out or that no one might show. I loooaathhe being the spotlight of attention too! I have some of the best woman who are more than happy to throw me a wonderful party and I truly feel so special, even though it makes me anxious!
