26 weeks Pregnancy Update

May 9, 2018

How far along:

26 weeks

Baby is the size of a:

Head of Lettuce or a Bowling Pin

Total weight gain:

29 lbs

Maternity Clothes?

Both

Stretch Marks?

Haven’t noticed any yet.

Sleep?

Not the best.

Best moment of the Week:

Our San Diego Trip! We had such a great time!

Movement:

All the time. I don’t know if I forgot about how active Fox was, but I feel like this kid here is kicking way more than Fox ever did. Especially when I try to sleep, he just keeps kicking, kicking, kicking, until I change positions. I always wonder if kicks mean that something is bothering him. Either way, I think we are going to have a wild child.

Food Cravings:

Salads and Pancakes. Not together though.

Belly Button in or out:

Getting flatter.

Gender:

Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:

Still having a rash on my lower back and belly and backaches come and go, but nothing too bad so far. I’ve also been extra emotional lately and getting out of breath easy.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

Luckily not.

Have you Started to Show yet?

The belly is seriously the best part of pregnancy!

What I miss:

Same as last week, sleeping okay and an ice cold coke. Also, feeling like a normal person and not being so emotional.

What I'm looking forward to:

Putting the nursery together, I think we are two weeks out from the construction finish.

What I'm not looking forward to:

I get really nervous about having two kids lately. It’s not like I’m not looking forward to meeting this little guy, but I’m just worried about how it will change all of our lives. I remember having the same feelings with Fox and it’s probably just part of the process.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse. Fox brought this home from schoo...
