26 weeks!

What the heck is my deal with updates? Again, I blame my crazy work schedule. At least there isn't a ton of change {yet} week to week. Thanks for your patience, friends & family!


How far along: 26 weeks & 3 days
Total weight gain: My guess is around 10-11lbs. Baby is going to start growing in size pretty rapidly from here on out, so I am sure that number is on it's way up!

Maternity clothes: I just love Old Navy & Kohl's maternity clothes. Target can be hit or miss unfortunately. I do like being able to finally wear all my Fall sweaters now!

Stretch Marks: None still- although I do have a little bit of a rash from all the lotion/oil. I might need to switch to every other day applications.

Sleep: I rarely get up in the middle of the night anymore, which is nice. I have been sleeping pretty well the last few weeks.

Best moment this week: This weekend we got the dresser for the nursery finished! Plus, my Mom made this adorable little headband/hairclip holder to hang on the wall. It's SO cute! She has become so darn crafty. A quick shout out to my parents for all their help in preparing for Baby. My Dad does all sorts of random projects around the house for us- and Mom is such a hard worker too! We are so thankful for all the love they are already showing this little girl!

Miss anything: Being able to see my toes to {comfortably} paint my nails.

Movement: Moving like crazy! Holy moly! She jabs me a LOT when I am sitting- especially in the car!

Food cravings: Sweets again. What the heck?! Donuts. Frosting. Candy. Bring it on.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: Pink pink pink!

Symptoms: Definitely thankful for how smoothly everything has gone. I have noticed a little more lower back pain if I am standing for long periods of time. But that can be helped by sitting down and/or stretching.

Belly Button In or Out: Still in- barely!

Wedding Rings on or off: On!

Happy or Moody: Happy! I am due 3 months from Thursday, which is SO CRAZY to me! 3 months is going to absolutely FLY by with the holidays.

Looking forward to: Our first childbirth class is on Sunday. I am really excited to learn & start preparing together for the actual birth of our baby girl! It's a 2 Sunday class, from 4-8pm. Lots to learn! I am excited for the tour of the hospital, especially!

Here are some random photos from the last coupe of weeks! Enjoy. 

Cutesie shoes- and on clearance too! Gotta love it.

My parent's dog, Lily, taking a snooze while the rest of us worked! So typical!
