Oh hey there!
It's 11:30pm on Wednesday, October 11th and my due date is in exactly 3 months! Insert that emoji with the huge eyes. I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going by! I feel completely overwhelmed with how much Garrett and I have left to do. We haven't even ordered the baby's furniture or registered anywhere. I think we are going to work on the latter this weekend.
You may have noticed that I skipped over my 25 weeks update, and that was purely because it was almost a week late and, honestly, not much has changed.
How far along? 26 Weeks
Weight gain/loss? I'm not sure! I will find out at my appointment tomorrow.
Maternity clothes? Yes! I am almost exclusively in maternity clothes now, primarily because they are what look the best. I can still wear my regular jeans (ok ok, they are jeggings) and shirts, but they don't make my bump look as cute as maternity clothes do. Plus, the over-the-belly maternity pants and leggings are SO comfortable. Mom bought me several things from Motherhood Maternity this past weekend, thanks mom!
Sleep? I've been sleeping fairly well this past week! We have been sleeping with our kitten Martin (because he can't leave his older brother alone at night) and that has been interesting. On one hand I love it because I get to cuddle with a kitten all night, but on the other hand it's difficult to sleep with a cat on your face. I'm still getting up to pee several times a night, you would think I'd learn to stop bringing a big glass of ice water to bed with me, but I haven't yet.
Best moment this week? Seeing my parents this past weekend! They stayed with us for a couple of nights. I have always wanted them to visit in October because the weather is perfect and the trees are gorgeous! We went to estate sales, a farmer's market, and did a little shopping. Mom and I got my baby shower invitations ordered, and made a guest list.
Movement? Yes!
Still mainly flutters/twitches, but they are more often and are getting
stronger. Sometimes they even kind of feel uncomfortable when it's on
my full bladder.
Miss anything? The only thing currently coming to mind that I miss is not constantly worrying. I worry enough as it is, but with a child growing in my uterus, I have worried even more about every little thing. I have been trying to be easier on myself, but it is definitely a process.
Food cravings? PB&J's. PSL's. Chocolate desserts (probably because I have had to limit these).
Food aversions? No.
Symptoms: Peeing often. Getting emotional easily. Getting out of breath more quickly than normal.
Started to show yet? Yes.
Mood this week? I've been pretty content this past week!
What I am looking forward to? Our appointment tomorrow! We have a growth scan so we will get to see our baby boy! Hoping he is on track and healthy.
Next appointment? October 12th, tomorrow!
