23 & 24 & 25 & 26
Get ready for a long post! I have been so incredibly busy and overwhelmed the last few weeks that I have totally neglected posting. Please don't hate me!
How far along? 26 weeks
Size of baby? Red Cabbage/Eggplant
Total weight gain/loss: +11 lbs.
Maternity clothes? I finally got my first maternity top and I have not worn anything else since!
Stretch marks? Nah, dude.
Sleep: I have given into the body pillow. It is beautiful.
Best moment this week: I received a huge promotion at work! Sooo, that.
Miss Anything? I miss spending more time out of the bathroom than inside the bathroom.
Movement: Big ol' rolls! My sister Brooklyn literally SCREAMED at me when she saw my belly moving from the outside. Let's admit it, it is a little creepy.
Food cravings: IRISH SODA BREAD. Just my luck, my Mother-In-Law made Shane and I a loaf this week!
Anything making you queasy or sick: A big baby punch in the stomach made me a little nauseous mid conversation.
Have you started to show yet: In tight clothes I look muy giant. But anything loose fitting you can't really tell.
Gender: All boy.
Labor Signs: Nope! BUT I learned that last week the baby was considered "viable." How strange!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On. YAY! I got pretty new rings :)
Happy or Moody most of the time: So happy! This week has been a gooooood week.
How Toby is handling the baby: I have had a serious case of pregnancy brain and my poor dog gets the brunt of it. "Oh did I accidentally close the door on you and lock you in the spare room for two hours? SORRY TOBY."
Weekly Wisdom: Don't weigh yourself if you aren't ready to say "holy crap!"
Looking forward to: Doctors appointment tomorrow.

How far along? 25 weeks
Size of baby? Rutabaga (Me: What in the world is a rutabaga? My mother: I think it's a type of car?)
Total weight gain/loss: The scale and I have not met in a while.
Maternity clothes? I wear Shane's shirts EVERYDAY. He will come home; look at me, ask, "is that my shirt?" My response is always, "is this your baby?" I always win the shirt!
Stretch marks? Nada.
Sleep: Starting to get super rough, actually. Now that baby boy has grown so much, he is quite heavy. When I lay on my right side I can feel all of him sink right into my hip. The pressure is super uncomfortable! Add rib kicks to that and I am up all night!
Best moment this week: I spent a super fun night at free pie with my besties, it was the first time we have gone in a while. It was good to laugh really hard, even if I peed my pants a little.
Miss Anything? Not having to think about what I am going to wear! It's frustrating when nothing fits!
Movement: He is so long and so strong! I can feel him stretch out and hit all sides of my belly at once!
Food cravings: Sour candy! Sour beats chocolate any day anyway, so.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still painful back pain, thinking kidneys. I will find out next week.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, but I have not been approached by a stranger yet. So that's good.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? OFF. I lost the stone in my ring :(
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy!
How Toby is handling the baby: I've been working on trying to exercise this dog more often, so he is VERY happy with the extra outside time. Even if I can't bend over as many times as I used to be able to to throw his ball.
Weekly Wisdom: In my opinion, comfort-ability trumps fashion-ability ANY DAY. So be comfy, life's too short!
Looking forward to: Ending my 6th month!

How far along? 24 weeks
Size of baby? Ear of corn
Total weight gain/loss: I have no idea! I'm horrible.
Maternity clothes? Maternity pants everyday!
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep: Sleep is always just okay, I usually wake up really early to go to the bathroom.
Best moment this week: Shane's conversations with Baby are so sweet!
Miss Anything? Bending over to put my socks and shoes on!
Movement: Rolly polly in there all day!
Food cravings: Chinese food is always on mah mind.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not drinking enough water will make me feel super yucky.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, I'm starting to really "feel" pregnant.
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: Not that I know of!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I think both? Pregnancy is a roller coaster!
How Toby is handling the baby: He got a new toy this week so he has been very uninterested in said baby.
Weekly Wisdom: DRINK WATER.
Looking forward to: Feeling a little less "ouchie."

How far along? 23 weeks
Size of baby? Papaya
Total weight gain/loss: +7lbs.
Maternity clothes? Maternity pants everyday but still fitting into my tops, kinda.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: I sleep alright if I'm really really tired. Otherwise it's a struggle to get to sleep.
Best moment this week: I got to take an extra day off of work to hang out with my family and celebrate my sister Chloe's 18th birthday.
Miss Anything? I miss being quick. I have to take everything much slower these days.
Movement: I never knew how much pregnant women actually were being kicked. I thought it was an every once and a while thing. NOPE. It's all day long! Which is great!
Food cravings: More Chinese food. Egg drop soup and cream cheese wantons. Holy cow.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I've been having a lot of back pain recently, today it made me puke. I think there might be something going on with my kidneys.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, the girls at work make sure to tell me every day how much more I'm showing.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: Some weird cramps and tightness. I don't think it's related to labor though. It's probably just kidney stones.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody this week. I just haven't been feeling very hot. With the kidney pain and the long hours I do spend at work, I have been feeling very overwhelmed.
How Toby is handling the baby: Toby is very protective of me when we are home alone. Although, the moment Shane walks through the door Toby drops his "guard dog" name tag and immediately turns into a baby who NEEDS Shane snuggles. If I try and interfere with said snuggles, I get the death glare, from both of them.
Weekly Wisdom: Take time for yourself, getting overwhelmed isn't really helpful.
Looking forward to: Possibly figuring out my back pain, wahoo!
