new picture

Everyone has been asking for a new picture of my growing belly, so I finally remembered to do it! :) The new picture is of my belly at 27 weeks. Just under 7 months! I think my belly is huge, but I have been hearing a lot of people tell me that I don't look that far along. I am thankful that so far, all of my weight gain is in my belly! I'm hoping it makes it easier to lose afterwards!!! I'll make sure to do another picture in a few weeks!!! Enjoy!! You all can let me know what you think!! :)

26 weeks

So we have made it through another week, and this week just seems like my back is really taking the brunt (is that even how you spell that?!) of all symptoms. My back kills me all the time! It feels like there is a 400 lb person sitting on my back all day every day! No matter how I sit or lay it always is hurting me, so I'm just hoping it doesn't stay like this the rest of the time. I want to at least have a small break from it if possible! Just something that is already getting on my nerves. I just would love to have a little bit of relief every so often if possible! New picture coming up sometime this week!

25 weeks!!

So this is the image for weeks 25-28. I can't believe our little guy is an eggplant! He's getting so big, and I certainly believe it since my stomach gets bigger and bigger! Don't worry, I'll be putting up a new belly pic soon! My check up went well on Friday and they said that everything was going well. I looked healthy, and according to the anatomy scan that I had on Wednesday, everything is looking perfectly healthy on Trey's part too! That is such good news!!

My next appointment is the day after my birthday (November 6th) and then starting after that appointment, I'll start having my appointments every 2 weeks. I know we are getting closer when those appointments start!! We got the furniture moved out of the guest room for the most part last weekend, and this weekend, Todd is coming over and putting up the chair rail in Trey's room and he is going to finish putting the ceramic tile down in both bathrooms! Then the last thing left to do is to paint the nursery! We are just waiting for Trey's furniture to come in so that we can get his room all set up! That will be really nice to have that taken care of!

I'm feeling pretty well, but my only complaint is how bad my back hurts sometimes. I expect it to just get worse as I get bigger since I am on my feet all day every day at work, so you can't really expect it to not hurt. I just have to try and stretch it out when I'm at home, but that's easier said that done! hahaha.

Here's what the site says will be happening with Trey during weeks 25-28: Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

So healthy!!

Today I had an anatomy scan ultrasound to check out Trey's organs and make sure that everything that is supposed to be in there is!! He checked out perfectly!! He has all the organs he is supposed to have and the ultrasound tech said he looks really healthy! His heartrate was 145 BPM and that is right around what it has been the whole time!! One thing I did notice is that he loves to have his hands up by his face, because he was like that for the last ultrasound and again today! He didn't want to move them at all!!!! Too funny!! They said that he is measuring right on schedule too. In fact, today he was measuring 2 days ahead which would put him being born on Mom and Tina's birthday, but the tech told me that it can fluctuate since he is constantly growing!! :)

I'm just so please to hear/see that he is healthy!!! He was pretty active during the ultrasound too, so that was really funny to see him squirming around in there! He did calm down and cooperate after a while though!

We can't wait to meet him!!

6 months along

Yesterday I hit the 6 month mark! It's exciting to be in my third trimester! We are finally getting close to meeting our little boy!! Brian and I can't wait to meet him, see his face, and just play with him!!! I have been feeling him kick more and more as the week has gone on, and finally last night, Brian was able to feel the kicks too!!! He was kicking so hard (or punching..haha) last night that we could see my stomach move when he would do it. At one point it looked like he shot one of his legs and arms out at the same time because my stomach moved in 2 places at the same time on opposite sides! It was really funny to watch! I couldn't stop laughing!!!!

We are getting ready to get everything in the nursery all ready. We need to move our furniture out of the room, get it painted, and put up the chair rail so all of that is finished when our furniture arrives in about 3-5 weeks!!! I'm also trying to decide on the fabric for Trey's rocker too, but its just so hard to decide!!! Why are there so many choices on things?!? hahaha.

I have Trey's anatomy scan this week on Wednesday where they will do an ultrasound to check him out and make sure that things are looking good! Then on Friday I have my check up and they will do my diabetes test that morning before it too. I took Friday off work so that I can stay up until midnight on Thursday night and eat/drink something then since I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight before my test! I'm sure I'll be starving! hahaha. I will put up a new post after my ultrasound on Wednesday to let everyone know how that went! I do have to work that afternoon/evening, so depending on what time I get out of the doctor's office, I may have to post it on Thursday if I don't have time before heading to work.
