26 Weeks!

I'm 26 weeks! 13ish weeks left!!!!!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 26 Weeks

Size of baby: Lawson is the size of an eggplant (Baby Center says cucumber for length)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 8 pounds

Maternity Clothes: All maternity pants, shirts are a mixture, I LIVE in yoga pants now that I'm home! :)

Gender: It's a BOY! Lawson Ryan Payne

Movement: All the time! Earlier this week I actually thought L had spawned a twin and they were wresting WWE style! He moves like crazy!

Sleep: Not sleeping well at all...I think it's partly because my schedule is out of whack since it's summer, but it's so hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep lately. When Chris gets up at 5 for work I feel like I haven't even slept 30 minutes.

What I miss: Being able to bend over, ha! Being tan and being skinny too!
Cravings: Dairy! Yogurt, frozen yogurt, milk, ice cream...

Symptoms: Back pain/being unable to lay on my back, growing belly, fatigue, nausea, contractions, sciatica is back (boo.). The symptom I haven't had and am surprised about is heartburn...I guess L will be bald, ha! He will be the cutest little bald man I've ever seen though!

Best Moment this week: Finding out I passed my glucose tolerance test! That is a big relief after the disaster of last week's appointment! Also, I washed all of the clothes we have for him so far (it's a LOT) up to 12 months, and started organizing them. The recliner also came in this week and I made a mobile for L's room. Picture below. :)

Mobile I made. Apparently I took this picture crooked...oops.


26 week belly picture. It looks like he is really low. I am hoping this means he is preparing himself to come out of there a couple of weeks early so no c-section for me! Not too early though...stay put for about 10 more weeks L! Holy crap- 10 weeks...it seems really close when I say it that way, ha!
