Pregnancy post - Week 26

Pregnancy: Week 26

DATE: March 15, 2013

How far along: 26 weeks

Total Weight Gained: 14 pounds. I hardly gained at first…and now I am gaining like crazy :(. 2 pounds this WEEK alone...

How big is baby:

baby at 26 weeks :

-Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.

-And her eyelashes are now grown, too.

-She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.

-She's taking breaths, too. They're of amniotic fluid, not air, but it's still good practice.

Maternity Clothes: Wearing a mixture of both. Regular jeans on today, but maternity top.

Sleep: sleeping good…

Best Moment of the Week: Getting into the double digits! We only have 98 more days until the due date now!!

Movement: yes…she is still QUITE the mover…always flipping around.

Food Craving: oh just EVERYTHING…I am very hungry…and just could eat and eat (this is NOT a good sign)!!

Food Aversions: none really…

Morning Sickness: nope….

Gender: Not sure…but feeling like a girl this week. Had an apt. on Monday, and the heart rate was 173…so fast!

Symptoms: a little tired this week….still congested.

What I miss: wearing my “skinny” clothes…but I am trying to embrace my bump!

What I'm looking forward to: vacation…..(ok that’s not pregnancy related, but still….)

Pregnancy #3: Week 25

Pregnancy: Week 25

DATE: March 8, 2013

How far along: 25 weeks

Total Weight Gained: 12.2 pounds…..really starting to gain/grow now!

How big is baby: The structures of your baby's spine are beginning to form while the blood vessels of the lungs develop as well. Also, his nostrils are beginning to open. Your baby now has fully formed fingerprints and his bones are continuing to harden. If your baby were delivered now it would have a chance of surviving due to some great advances in medicine. The premature baby could survive in an incubator for few months. Her taste buds are forming, and she may be developing a weakness for sweets. He/She is about 13 inches long and weighs a pound and a half.

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I still squeeze into regular pants now and then….but it is getting harder.

Sleep: Good…..but I am majorly congested, so that hasn’t been ideal.

Best Moment of the Week: Hmmmm…..it’s been a pretty good week overall…nothing earth shattering

Movement: yes…he/she is QUITE the mover…always flipping around.

Food Craving: oh just EVERYTHING…I am hungry…and just could eat and eat (this is NOT a good sign)!!

Food Aversions: none really

Morning Sickness: nope….

Gender: Not finding out…

Symptoms: nasal congestion…

What I miss: wearing my “skinny” clothes I guess

What I'm looking forward to: Dr. appt. on Monday. Only time that going to the dr. is fun is when you are pregnant!! Love hearing the heartbeat!

A String of Bad Luck…putting things in perspective.

It seems lie it has just been one thing after another lately. I have had a major string of unfortunate luck lately. Add this with my pregnancy brain, and I have been STRESSED to the max.

Just a few to list:

-Our old house is STILL on the market (going on a year now). We had some potential interest, with a double showing last week. The second showing happened to be on the coldest day of the year….and the front door lock got jammed, while they were there. Ugh. Just our luck. Needless to say, no offer. The lock has since been changed, and functions much better now. Of course the changing process was not easy...they keys that the made did not work, etc., etc.

-I dropped my phone this weekend and shattered my screen.

-I had this fear yesterday that I didn’t turn the crock pot on, so I ran home on my lunch break. It was a slushy, icy day. On the way home I sled into the ditch. Ugh. I am OK. Buy it was by brand new Acadia! $550 of damage later. Of course insurance won’t cover it. We have a $500 deductible…so obviously we should not turn it in.

-The bills on everything are just piling up…I feel like I can’t keep up. Two houses is too much to pay for.

-I am forgetting everything! In addition to me not recalling if I turned the crock pot on (I did)…I am forgetting if the garage door has been shut…causing me anxiety all day long.

SERIOUSLY….enough.

Then I start feeling sorry for myself…and I think…ANNIE, you are fine. There are people who are having a WAY harder time right now.

*I am healthy, and have a healthy baby growing in my belly.

*I have two beautiful children who mean then world to me.

*I have a husband who loves me, is a great dad, and a hard worker.

*I have a beautiful home (well 2…but we won’t go down that road again).

*I have a new, reliable car (with a little bumper damage).

*I have family and friends that are there whenever I need something.

And on, and on, and on…

I am FINE….and this stage shall pass!!
