26 WEEKS



How far along: 26 Weeks 4 day. Although, the doc said that she is measuring a few weeks ahead of schedule. :) 
Total weight gain: I have now experienced that awful moment when you step onto the scale and it flashes  ERROR at you. I had a Dr. appointment right after Thanksgiving so in the 4 weeks between Dr. appointments I had put on 10lbs. I guess that tells you how amazing my moms turkey dinner was. When I stepped on the scale at the Dr. office and saw I was up 10lbs I believe my exact words were "Holy hell, that can't be right!" So, I began to take my shoes off and everything that I could unload to take some pounds off, but it didn't do much. I was waiting for my Dr. to tell me to lay off the ice cream and Doritos  when surprisingly he told me it was completely normal. Since I had only put on about 5lbs prior to this point it was normal to make such a huge jump. At least that's what he told me to make me feel good about it. He was telling me that by the end I should have put on about 30lbs. I've put on 15 at this point and I am over half way through my pregnancy so heres to hoping I don't fulfill that whole 30. 
Food Cravings: I think Trevor has more "Pregnancy Cravings" then I do. When he wants something he'll always say "I have a pregnancy craving for.." and then we go get it since he does the same for me. Lately I have been wanting nothing but Ice Cream, but even when I'm not pregnant all I want is Ice Cream so that's nothing unusual. Although, at my mom's 50th birthday party I did put potato salad on a roll like a sandwich and I guess that is frowned upon because everyone kept telling me how disgusting that is, but it was awfully tasty. Must of just been one of those pregnancy things. 
Movement: She is always having a dance party in there now. It's amazing how strong she is getting. There are sometimes when she will kick me and it makes me flinch or jump because it's so hard. Trevor can feel her kick and move now all the time. I have a station on my phone that plays nursery rhymes and all kinds of music. I can put it on my belly and she will start kicking and moving around. As much as I complained about being pregnant at the beginning it's all worth it now that I can feel her moving around constantly.There really is a baby in there, pretty crazy. She has gotten so big that my bellybutton is now constantly Asian. It's no longer round it just looks like a little slit. It's going to pop out like a timer on a well done turkey any day now. 

Trevor is seriously thee most amazing husband and soon-to-be daddy. This little girl has him wrapped around her finger already. Everything baby girl wants daddy gives it to her (even though it's really mommy that wants it) I am only a few days away from the last and final trimester. I can feel all those pesky 1st trimester symptoms coming back. This little girl is sucking all the energy out of me already. Trevor not only works and goes to school he has now taken on all my wifely duties. I don't remember the last time I actually did dishes or for that fact our laundry. He even cooks dinner when he is home. He does it all. He sure knows how to take care of his girls.
