Baby is the size of an acorn squash and will not stop poking and prodding me. On Sunday Adam and I found baby's butt sticking out. Last night we found baby's leg. Man was that weird to find. We found something hard and followed it back to baby's body and then realized we were messing with a leg. This morning I found a leg again and have had a leg and foot pushing/protruding out all day! Needless to say it was a little uncomfortable and tried coaxing baby into a new position and he/she was not having it. 

I'm looking forward to my appointment on Friday, it's so crazy to think that I'm now onto bi-weekly appointments. I literally have no idea where time when. This pregnancy has flown by. Also looking forward to Saturday. We are finally getting the mural painted in the nursery. It's going to feel like the nursery is so close to being done once the mural is up.

Looking forward to: My life to slow down a little.

Had a doctor's appointment on Friday. Did my glucose test and the drink tasted like a freezy pop that wasn't frozen, the nurse gave it to me cold which is good and it didn't taste bad at all. I was semi freaking about it and really had nothing to worry about. Went and weighed in and that is when I about had a break down. I gained 9 pounds in a month!!! Needless to say I was very upset with myself and all I wanted to do was leave so I could cry. I couldn't do that and had to get through my appointment. My doctor came in with a PA and she was super nice. I got measured at 27 cm and FHR was 145. Baby is officially head down!!! And now I know what part of baby is kicking me in what parts. I every now and then get super bummed about the fast weight gain in a month, but nothing I can do about it now. I'm now on bi-weekly appointments that makes it feel like it's getting super close. I have this feeling like I'm going to feel like I'm living at the doctor. I still can't believe how far along I am and really don't feel big enough to be this far along. Can't wait to see how much bigger I am going to get. Onto week 29. 

Week 27

Just the picture for today. This is only a week behind. As I write this post I'm 28 weeks. I seriously need to get back on track and stay motivated. Looking forward to my doctor's appointment tomorrow, not looking forward to the glucose test and the getting on the scale part. I'm worried my doctor isn't going to be happy with my weight gain. I feel like I'm only baby, but I hope she feels the same way...

Weeks 25 & 26...Oops

Baby is the size of a head of cauliflower.

Baby is now the size of a head of lettuce

How far along: 26 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 8 pounds but probably more since my last appointment since I'm feeling huge

Maternity clothes: Still a mix between maternity and pre-maternity

Stretch marks: None

Sleep: Thank goodness for body pillows. I have been full time sleeping with mine.

Best moment of the week: Getting a pedicure yesterday. Man did it feel UH-MAZING

Miss anything: My husband. He's had a crazy schedule 

Movement: Somersaults, kicks, punches you name it baby barely stops moving

Food cravings: Pizza

Have you started to show: I think the picture says it all

Gender prediction: Still on the fence

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: Still getting flatter

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody: Extremely happy

Looking forward to: A week to go by and it not to feel like a blur.

From last weekend to today I literally have NO idea where the week went. It seriously was a blur. Last weekend in Freeport the whole fam was together and we sat down and planned what seemed to be the next 3 months. Goodbye weekends! I seriously think we have something going on almost every weekend. This shall be very interesting while on the verge of being in my third trimester and being this busy. I think Adam's crazy schedule has made it seem crazy insane too. Mondays, Thursdays and some Saturdays he is in the fire academy...goodbye husband. On top of that  every third day Adam is working a shift at the fire department. Ya I have been seeing a lot of the house at night by myself. I thought that once I was officially an alumni of college things in my life my slow down a little? Cyeah right! I feel like I need a week off with my husband where we don't do anything. Oh ya that's right my husband gets stir crazy and can't not do anything. He can be such a weirdo sometimes. 

Well in the midst of all this crazy business I'm starting to feel HUGE and if I stand a certain way it's goodbye legs/feet. Ya that's an interesting feeling. At 25 weeks my uterus was the size of a soccer ball and now at 26 it's the size of a basketball. During the second half of my pregnancy I will start growing a 1/2 inch a week. Oh geesh bring on the big bump as if it's not big enough already! This amazes me that I still have so much more to grow when I already feel so big. And yet people tell me I'm so little for being six months pregnant. hmmmm 

Another life update I recently got an iPhone and am completely loving the decision I made to get it. I now have all the GF apps that I want/need. Have games that I can play with friends and family. And am completely obsessed with Instagram. I recently found a photo a day for August and I love finding a reason to take pictures on my phone. Sorry if I'm filling up anyone's feed with an overwhelming amount of pictures. I just can't help it.

Hopefully this upcoming week will be a little less busy and not so much a blur.
