How far along: 26 weeks
Size of baby: Size of an eggplant.
Maternity Clothes: I just bought some really comfy jeans at Motherhood Maternity.
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Finally!
What I miss: My energy! I am still so very tired.
Cravings: Mostly carbs like potatoes and pasta.
Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time, no headaches, ankles swell all of the time, heartburn and backaches are the worst!
I haven't updated since my last doctor's appointment and, boy, has a lot happened! The first exciting thing that has happened is that I think I can finally feel my little baby monster kicking! The kicking started late last week and hasn't stopped! I am so happy to finally be able to feel her.
My Mom told me to stop worrying about it, that once she starts I will want her to stop! I guess I will have to wait a few more weeks for the excitement of it to wear off though because I just want to feel her moving around all the time!
The second exciting thing that happened is that I made an appointment at Womb With a View to get my 3D/4D ultrasound done! I won't get another ultrasound until the end of October and I just can't wait that long to find out for sure if I have a little girl monster in my belly!
The appointment is set for September 24th at 12pm and my husband and my mother are going along. The closer we get to it, the more excited I get. I'm not all that happy about seeing her little face. It's still very creepy to me. I would rather wait to see that when she is born but I have to make sure she is a she!
They told me to make sure that I don't skip my breakfast or lunch before I go because if the baby is hungry, she won't move! They also told me to bring some orange juice in case the baby isn't moving. I guess that will help get her moving!
I was referred to Womb With a View by a friend of a friend and I have heard good things about them. I will probably go with their U-C-ME 3D/4D Ultrasound Package. It comes with a 30 minute 3D/4D session, a DVD of the session, 4 color photos, 4 B&W photos and a CD containing all of the still images. 30 minutes is a little long for me but I want the colored photos.
The third exciting thing that happened is that I got a baby doppler. It's just like the one that they use in the doctor's office to hear the baby's heartbeat. I thought I would feel much better about my pregnancy if I could hear my baby's heartbeat whenever I wanted. I got it last night and probably laid for an hour listening! I love it!
As far as symptoms go, still tired all of the time. The backaches are still pretty bad and I use a heating pad for that whenever I have to. Heartburn is killer! I'm also quite miserable. I guess the hormones are kicking my butt because I'm just miserable all of the time! I really don't want to have anything to do with anyone right now. I just hope it passes because it doesn't make my husband very happy! And I know that my mom is planning a HUGE baby shower for me in November so it better pass by then!
I'm still trying meats all of the time. I have been able to eat more and more chicken now so that's what we get every night. My poor husband doesn't complain because he is happy that I am eating meat but it's getting pretty boring!
I'm also still trying to eat salads and more healthy snacks. Breakfast is my hardest meal because I have a bagel every morning. What else is the pickiest eater supposed to eat?! I also feel like I'm the most hungry in the mornings. We started taking the dogs for walks every night so the exercise is helping.
Next update will be next week at 27 weeks!
I also want to make a quick shout out to "An Ordinary Mom". Check out her blog here. She is going through a very difficult time right now with her oldest son who had a brain tumor removed recently. Please send your love to her and her family.
