How far along: 26 weeks
Gender: Boy
Weight gained: 9 pounds
Best moment of the week: Not giving birth in
Florida! I was terrified that I was going to go into labor while we were in
Florida visiting my sister.
Miss anything: coffee, sleep, and
being able to perform normal activities like clipping my toe nails, etc.
Movement: He is very active
after I eat breakfast and at night when we start to settle down for the
evenings
Cravings: Haven’t had any
cravings this week. I think he’s going through a growth spurt though. I can’t
seem to get enough to eat lately
Queasy or sick: Feeling great
Looking
forward to: The baby
shower, and putting his room together
It probably wasn’t the best idea
to travel at 26+ weeks pregnant but since we had this trip planned well before
Grady came into the picture, I decided to suck it up and go for it. We went to
visit my sister and her husband who moved there about a year and a half ago. Our initial plans were to spend a few days with them and then trail off to do
our own mini babymoon. Well by Sunday (the day for our babymoon), we were both
beat from exhaustion and mosquito bites that we ended up just going to our
hotel room. We watched a little television, went to dinner and then went to bed.
Exciting I know. Let me just say that flying while big and pregnant is not fun
at all. I felt like my tailbone was being crushed and my poor husband having to
hear me complain the whole time. Our friends, however, did buy me the Belly Laugh
book by Jenny McCarthy. And all I could think to myself was at least I’m not
her and at least my pregnancy isn’t THAT bad. Great read, definitely puts everything
into light that we aren’t alone with our pregnancy pains even celebrities have
hard times as well. Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend!!
