Food cravings: Mexican. I ate it twice in one day this week! haha

Miss anything? I'm doing great! I just miss being able to bend over and walk normal :)

Belly button in or out? Starting to poke out ever so slightly

Best moment this week: My family all got to feel him kick at dinner on Sunday! He gets pretty shy though. He'll be kicking away for me but as soon as another had comes along he goes quiet!

Looking forward to: Well this isn't with great excitement, but I'm glad the 20 something weeks are over! Now it's on to the scary weeks!

Belly button in or out? Still a flat little thing.

Best moment this week: We painted his rocking chair! (Well ok my mom painted it for me haha)

Sleep: Tossing and turning.

Movement: He did the craziest thing the other day, I was laying on my side with my elbow resting on my belly and he literally touched my elbow and was rubbing it with I guess his hand! It felt soo creepy and weird! I don't think he cares for pokes. He is also laying head to my left side, feet on my right. Only because I feel strong kicks way far over to my right side.

Food cravings: Cadbury eggs! Tis the season for the best sugar ever! haha

Miss anything? Laying on my back. I am so annoyed with this side business.

Belly button in or out? Still flat! It's weird because I rub my belly and I actually can't even tell where my belly button is!

Best moment this week: Feeling him play with my elbow. And tapping on my belly and feeling him kick! He must like the stimulation!

Looking forward to: His changing station should be arriving in the mail soon! Also I think I have finally picked out the fabric for his bedding. I can't wait to make it!

26 Weeks

So Steve brought up a good point, isn't an eggplant bigger than a cucumber? (25 weeks was an eggplant) I agree with him, but I am just going off of my iphone app that tells me what the baby is the size of! So maybe they messed up, but it said it was the size of a hothouse cucumber. (whatever that is) haha

How far along: 26 weeks or 6 months

Maternity Clothes? This is my first maternity dress! And pretty much the only dress that fits me now.

Sleep: I just toss and turn! I realized now that our puppy really doesn't sleep much either, he is always awake and just hanging out when I wake up at night! ha

Movement: I notice this week he loves my right side. He is constantly kicking or punching only on my right! At church yesterday my whole belly was twitching and fluttering and I was just laughing watching it! It's fun that I can see it move now.

Best moment this week: Visiting the doc and getting my flu shot :( really not that fun, but at least I got to hear the little man's heartbeat!

Looking forward to: More maternity clothes arriving in the mail!

25 Weeks

Ha pop out belly? I am always amazed when I see my profile! I guess that's why I do these pictures, so I can see how it's just growing!

So this week was a brutal one. I was sick with a cold for about two weeks and then last Saturday I was in the hospital for 6 hours because I was dehydrated and had contracted influenza! I was so sick. I couldn't breathe from my nose and then I was shivering and feverish with the flu! They had to give me two bags of fluid through an IV (which I hate more than anything) and tested me with every swab, stick and poker you can imagine! Luckily baby was perfectly fine and I was able to recover within just a few days. I hate being sick! I have been nothing but sick this entire pregnancy! (I guess it is my fault for not getting the flu shot) Lets hope I'll stay healthy from now on!

Food cravings: SWEETS! I am on an all time sugar high. I just want everything sugary, chocolatey and sweet! It's bad...
