26 Week Bump Attack

10.05.12

I know I have been slackin' on the bump pictures... but guys, life is flying by. Where is the time going?!

Week: 26
Weight gain: 13 pounds? I think I gained 3 over the weekend alone
Stretch marks: None
Belly button: I think it's pretty much an "outy" now.
Linea Nigra: NO! Which is crazy to me, because I definitely had a prominent one this time around.
Clothes: Regular, although I did buy my first maternity shirt ever! I have to say that I am impressed/happy with the fact that my jeans/pants still fit! Now... a few of them don't button anymore, but still fit. I have hope this pregnancy that I won't be gaining the 45 pounds like I did last time.
Heartburn: Yes! Much more than the first time around {I think}

And as always, just feeling very pregnant. He is still hanging out VERY low in my pelvis, and I feel that pressure all the time that I did when I was full term with my first. And? I'm not even close to full term. So. What does that tell you.

Does baby boy have a name? Absolutely not. And it's ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I feel bad for him already. The weeks are flying by and we need to just sit down and make oursevlves do it. I tell you what. We do, however, have the middle name picked out. That was an easy one. Now... to figure out the first name. I basically have 2 names and Andrew is just going to have to suck it up and choose one. It's in his hands now.

This past week: We have been busy at work finishing Elliana's big girl room, and I am happy to report that it is {finally} all done! Which means the master, guest/office, and big girl room are finally finished. Which means all we have left is the master bath and then the nursery. And guess what? The rug I had originally purchased for the nursery? I am totally not feeling anymore. Which means? We are going to have to paint the room and make more changes than anticipated. And time is definitely not on our side.

So, nursery progress?: Eh. It's our "junk room" right now. All the furniture is in there, but now we just need to paint, get the new rug, and add the finishes touches. In reality, it's a weekend type project and something we could get done fast... it's the whole... starting the process that is the hard part.

Overall, I just can't believe that next week I will be in my third trimester. I mean honestly it is just so baffling to me how much quicker this pregnancy has been. You know what they say is completely true. Having a toddler to chase around and love on makes the time just fly by. Which I'm not complaining, because I so cannot wait to meet our little man!!

Coming up: Appointment is October 15th, which I will have my glucose test. We have the apple orchard to go to. Elliana and I are planning on making a couple trips to the zoo. And of course there is Halloween!! Lots of exciting things coming up, that I'm sure, will make the time just go by even faster.

The holidays are right around the corner! I am so ready to put my santa hat on. And the UPS man is already making daily trips to our house. Ah, yes, the season of giving.
