Celebrating our little Valentine - 26 week update!



How far along? 26 weeks exactly!

 
Profile view - 26 weeks
 
 
Valentines Day - Love this boy!

 
Total weight gain/loss: Weighed last on February 3rd and I had gained about 5 lbs. 

Maternity Clothes? Oh yes - and so thankful for them!
 
Stretch marks? Yes a little. Not too bad

Sleep: The past 3 weeks have been awful because of bronchitis, but I am thankful that I am finally getting better sleep. :)

Best moment this week: Feeling MUCH better and feeling Caleb play "drums" inside me! :) So thankful for our little valentine! <3

Miss Anything? not really...thankful that I can breathe, sleep, and eat again.

Movement? Oh yes...playing drums on Mommy this week

Food Cravings? Not especially....

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope

Have you started to show? Oh yes...I was too sick to update this back at 24 weeks, and it's amazing how much bigger I look and feel since the last time I took photos at 22 weeks

Labor Signs? No! Thankful for that...keeping on baking in there, Caleb!

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings off or on? They are still on :)

Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy :)

Wisdom: I learned over the past few weeks how amazing this whole pregnancy thing really is. I mean I knew that before, but all the changes and watching the growth of the belly, and learning about your baby's personality already. Nothing short of a miracle! But I have also learned it's so hard! Being sick and trying to overcome the illness while pregnant, was really tough. Feeling every ache and pain is hard, and I learned how awful my attitude was before pregnancy about women who would complain. Pregnancy isn't all rainbows and flowers. There are some definite tough times in there. And just because a woman might complain about a pain she is feeling, doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate the gift. I know I wish I hadn't felt as awful as I did, and the back aches and rib aches are not all that wonderful. But I'm also incredibly thankful for this gift too. I think it was a good wake up call to me.

Looking forward to: Well my shower is in 2 weeks!! :) I can't wait to see my sister and spend the Friday before with her! :) I look forward to seeing my Mom and all the dear friends and family who are able to come as well and celebrate little Caleb! I also continue to wait and hope that Todd will feel Caleb soon. I know he wants to feel him SOOO bad! :)
