26 weeks!

How far along? 26 weeks
Weight gain/loss: +12 (that is until my appointment this week :-/)
Maternity clothes? Yep. I now have some maternity pants that fit thank goodness!  
Stretch marks? I choose to ignore them.  
Sleep? Hopefully once we are all better from this bug we seem to have we might actually get some sleep again.
Best moment this week? Getting the new house painted and new carpet in the playroom. I can't wait to see both my girls play in their new space. 
Movement: When is she not moving?!
Food cravings: Not much but carbs are my friend.
Gender: Girl!
Labor signs? I've had some contractions mild, inconsistent contractions from dehydration while I was sick, but they are gone and this little girl needs to stay in for several more weeks.
Belly button in or out? It has disappeared. .
What I miss? Being able to do any activity without getting winded. Baby Nunley 2.0 is sitting much higher than her sister did and pressing into my lungs I think.
What I am looking forward to? Seeing my sister this weekend. She is pregnant too and it will likely be the only time we are ever pregnant together in the same place.
Weekly wisdom: Carpe diem is overrated.

Pass the Depends

Here's a belly picture from yesterday (26 weeks 4 days) and a funny story.

Yesterday I was worried all day because Avery wasn't moving around much. Normally she is really active and I can see her kicking almost all day long. Well it got to lunch time and I was having a nervous breakdown. I even called the doctor and he told me to eat a meal, and then lay down for an hour. So I did. during that hour I felt a few little flutters, but nothing like normal so when I got home I used the doppler to find the heartbeat.

Right away it registered at 145! She even gave the doppler a few small kicks, so even though it wasn't her normal routine, I chalked it up to her having a lazy day. I mean, hey we all have those.

Apparently this morning she decided she wanted to show me her kicking skills and while I was laying in bed gave me some good swift kicks... right to the bladder. I literally almost peed the bed.

Who would have thought I would be so excited about having to pee?! I'm just glad to know everything is okay in there.

Keep them coming little girl!
