27 Weeks...Bye Bye 2nd Trimester

27 Weeks



Maternity clothes? Yup...what am I going to do once I have to start buttoning and zipping pants again? I think I may have forgotten how to do that!
Best moment this week: Finally getting the lighting done in the nursery! It took us three separate sets of lights to get it right :D
Miss anything? Just feeling like myself
Movement: Yes! I love feeling him wiggle around
Food cravings: Nope
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just the norm ;)
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: I can feel my hips getting weaker. I have a lot of discomfort in my joints and also in my leg muscles...no fun!
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On but still getting repaired...yes, still...
Happy or moody most of the time: Getting kinda moody...when I am stressed I start to cry now.
Looking forward to: I can't wait to find out who will be at my baby shower :D

26 Weeks


26 Weeks



Maternity clothes? Thinking about spending some money on a few more things. Hard to buy stuff knowing, or hoping, it wont fit you again...for a while at least.
Best moment this week: Watching baby V move from the outside. He makes waves in my belly :)
Miss anything? Laying flat on my back
Movement: Yep! We can even see it from the outside now...pretty distracting during tv shows!
Food cravings: Nope
Anything making you queasy or sick: Soreness in my lower body and cramps when walking quickly...great now I can't even walk fast!
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: Acid reflux is STILL the most terrible thing...ever.
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On but still getting repaired.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy 
Looking forward to: My 4D ultrasound in a few weeks. I Invited family to make it really special!


This week I had to do my gestational diabetes test. I was pretty upset by it because in order to do the test, you have to drink this super sugary, artificially flavored, artificially colored, mixture of crap. Think of all the terrible ingredients that make up processed food and put them in a bottle and then shovel them into your system. Here little baby V...I am trying to take the best care of you on a normal basis...but today my DR told me I have to give you this load of fake disgusting junk. I hated it and my results, thankfully, came back negative. When I got the call they actually told me that my sugar levels were too low, lower than the range of levels they are looking for at least. I think it is a load of BS and I did some research that basically showed me I had nothing to worry about. My sugar levels are fine and are more normal for someone who eats the way I do. 



Can you say pregnancy brain? 

Yes, that is my remote control. I don't know why I thought I would need it at work...



Finishing off the week cuddling with my Pearlhead, she really loves her little brother. We watched Captain Phillips and I enjoyed a yummy cocoa drink with chia seeds and ice :D

Maternity clothes? The clothes I bought in the beginning are getting uncomfortable. Next time around...don't go cheap. Target and Old Navy pants suck.

Movement: Yes! Baby V seems to be a wiggling little boy
Food cravings: Nope
Labor signs: Nope
Symptoms: nothing crazy or new
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy 
Looking forward to: Baby V getting stronger

Progress on the nursery...Pearl likes it!


I have been walking a lot. Nate sent me this picture of Pearl while I was on my walk...looks like she misses me when I go!



Had a visit with Jamie and talked about Baby V <3



Starting our registry was fun but overwhelming. I have a lot to learn!
