Week # 26

I believe this is the last week of my 2nd trimester. It's hard to say because everything you read says the 3rd trimester begins on a different week. As much as we're looking forward to loving on your sweet face...I'm not ready for this pregnancy to already be at the home stretch! The 2nd trimester has been wonderful. I've felt great and have been so blessed throughout this entire pregnancy so far. This week has been a very busy week for us. I had to work 7 days in a row because of a festival we host in our town but made it through fine. I can tell my energy level is a little lower than normal and by the time 8:00 hits i'm ready for bed haha. We've been getting ready for our vacation all this week and are so ready to get away for a week and do absolutely nothing. Randy and I are going to enjoy some much needed time together just the two of us. I can't wait to get a little sun on this pale skin!

I let Randy decorate the chalk board while I took a shower...enough said. :) 

How far along? 26 weeks

Total weight gain: 17 lbs

Maternity clothes? Of course. Have you seen this belly?

Sleep: Been sleeping good as long as that thermostat is turned way down and the fan is going!

Best moment this week: Hearing your little heart beating, getting a good report from our miwife and preparing for our babymoon!

Miss Anything? Caffeine

Movement: Your movements have gotten way more intense within the last week. You even like waking your mama up at 3:00 a.m. kicking up a storm.

Food cravings: I've been craving a smoothie for the past 3 weeks or so and still haven't had one. I'm determined to have a real smoothie from a real smoothie shop...they have nothing like that where I live. I will find one in Florida next week for sure!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Gender: Sweet little mama's boy ;)

Labor Signs: No, just the occasional braxton

Belly Button in or out? Almost out all the way.

Looking forward to: Our vacation next week, seeing all the family and coming home to continue preparing for your arrival!!

We love you!
