It is getting big! 26.5 weeks


I have reached 26.5 weeks ( about 6.5 months) and I am still feeling great! I can't believe I only have about 3 months to go. At this point, I think it will be kind of sad not to be pregnant. It is fun seeing how my belly has grown and feel him dance around inside of me. Once in a while he won't move and I freak out. Then he comforts me with a kick and a jab. Whoever thought that would be comforting??

Some things about this stage:
  • I sometimes forget I have this belly and try to sit up like normal, only to be disappointed and forced to roll onto my side to get up.
  • Sleeping is kind of a pain. I usually have to get up a number of times to pee or wake up because I am hot and uncomfortable.
  • I am not feeling nauseous and have started to ween myself of the unisom.
  • Haws will sometimes look at me and laugh. When I ask why, he says "You are totally pregnant!" I am glad he is starting to figure this out.
  • I can still do a lot of active things, which makes me happy. Two of my favorite are yoga and paddle boarding! Of course I still love my pilates, but that goes with out saying.
  • My body has been doing some weird things, but I will document those in my personal journal :)
  • My only real pain is the round ligament pain. I wasn't sure what it was at first and was a little nervous. But I know it is totally normal and I accept that. It really isn't bad.

Sweet Caroline

I was such a blog slacker in Dec that I missed documenting a few births. This little girl in particular!
Sweet little Caroline joined the clan as the first baby girl on my side of the family.
She was anxious to join us and really wanted to be a Sagittarius like her Aunt Lori, that she came 5 weeks ahead of time!
She is such a cutie and has grown so much since she was born!
Caroline was born Dec 9th weighing in at 4lbs 15oz and 18 inches long.
We are all so happy she is healthy (besides when she got me sick. Who gets sick from a 2 months old!?)
Her baby blessing was this past Sunday and she didn't even cry. Can't say the same for Joshua, but what would a blessing be with out some tears?
I can honestly say... sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good!
