26 weeks!


Total weight gain?  About 15 pounds...first time being over 150lbs, a little weird, but I know it's for a good reason :)
Maternity clothes?   Wearing a few of my normal tops & dresses, but otherwise yes!
Stretch marks?   Just the lovely little white ones I've had for a decade.
Sleep?   Pretty well lately.
Miss anything?  Jogging...it no longer is comfortable :(  B&I joined back up at the gym so I'm excited to swim!
Food cravings?   No changes here...mostly watermelon, but all fruit.  
Labor signs?  Thankfully, no!
Belly button in or out?   In, but the bottom part is stretching out a lot...miss Avery hasn't figured out that she has a whole uterus to use, not just the bottom part!
Wedding rings on or off?   On

Happy or moody most of the time?   Happy!  I feel pretty lucky as far as this pregnancy has gone so far.
Looking forward to?   We have a repeat ultrasound on B's birthday (this coming Tuesday)...can't wait to see her again!


Avery is the size of a hothouse cucumber this week!


A little preview into the nursery...a work on progress, but I'm loving it so far!

24 week California maternity shoot!

We were in California last week visiting family.  My brother has a side photography business & was nice enough to do a mini maternity shoot for us.  I love how they turned out!  It was also a nice way for us to announce baby girl's name :) 






Belly updates :)

I'm a little behind on my posts!  I've been really busy, but can't really remember what I've been doing?!  Pregnancy brain, I guess! ;)  Baby & I are doing really well!  Biggest complain right now is feeling large (Laugh as you may...I know it's only the beginning!)...I feel like I already have to get up like a 90-year old.  Jogging seems to be harder, so I'll probably stick to just walking at an incline & weights for now.  Heartburn and I still have nightly battles.  Baby girl is moving a lot.  Her favorite move is to stick her back/butt out really hard into my lower abdomen (where she likes to hang out).  I'm still carrying REALLY low, which makes me wonder if she is going to try out the top part of her home ever.  Overall, we're doing great...no complaints! 

Total weight gain?   I'm up 10 pounds as of my 24 week doctor visit.
Maternity clothes?   Wearing a few of my normal tops & dresses, but otherwise yes!
Stretch marks?   Just the lovely little white ones I've had for a decade.
Sleep?   Some days great (i.e. not waking up before 5am), some days not so great (waking up before 5am)
Miss anything?  Sushi!  But I finally had a sushi date...even though it was only California & spider rolls, it was amazing!
Food cravings?   No changes here...mostly watermelon, but all fruit.  Last night it was froyo though. ;)
Labor signs?  Thankfully, no!
Belly button in or out?   In, but it's definitely getting stretched larger.  I wonder if it'll completely flatten out?
Wedding rings on or off?   On

Happy or moody most of the time?   Happy!  I feel pretty lucky as far as this pregnancy has gone so far.
Looking forward to?   We have a repeat ultrasound on B's birthday...can't wait to see her again!




24 weeks! (in California!)
