26 and 27 Weeks BumpWatch!

I'm falling behind with all these weekly photos since the summer has started and I've been out of town...so here's two weeks worth even though I'm two days away from yet another week!

26 Weeks:

 

 How far along? 26 weeks and some change by the time I got around to taking a picture...

Weight gain/loss: I haven't gotten on the scale since I saw a 20 lb. weight gain a few weeks ago.  I'm assuming it's 24 lbs. or so though.  Which makes me on track for 40 lbs. or less, which is tolerable.

Feeling: I'm starting to feel more tired by the littlest things, but I'm still going 100 miles an hour at home with Sean this summer.  It's nice having Scott home too so he can help give me some much needed breaks.  I'm exhausted during the day, yet wired when it's time to go to bed.

Belly button status:  Top part is out completely, but the bottom part is still partially in.  Just like last time, but I think it looks like it's popped completely through my shirt.

Sleep: I'm sleeping fairly well, once I can relax enough to fall asleep. 

Food cravings: Strawberry glazed pie!  Yum!  The strawberries are insanely ripe right now and have such a great flavor that I feel like making everything with strawberries.

Movement? Every day, lots of times during the day!  The kicks are getting stronger too.

What I miss?  Not my students that's for sure lol.

Best moment this week: Finishing the school year and having an awesome "Father's Day" weekend (we celebrated a week early since I would be out of town on the real holiday) at the Zoo and Splash Park!

What I'm looking forward to: Getting Sean transitioned to his toddler bed so we can move the crib and other furniture into the baby's room to start decorating!

Next Appointment: Tuesday, June 26th at 11:00am with an ultrasound and appointment with Dr. Salem.

Milestones: My little head of lettuce is now able to hear both our voices as we chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air.

27 Weeks:

How far along? 27 weeks, 5 days.  Getting behind on these weekly pictures!

Weight gain/loss: Couldn't tell you...but I split some pants today while at the zoo (they were non-maternity in my defense), so that can't be good!

Feeling: The heat this past week has been rough on me.  I get tired so easily and I feel short of breath if I'm outside too long. 

Sleep: Apparently I've been snoring again.  I woke up the other night to find Scott sleeping in the spare bedroom.  Oops! 

Food cravings: Ice cream!  We just bought this Kroger brand "Jammed" ice cream with butterfinger pieces.  Amazing...

Movement? I was just telling Scott last night that Evan has been moving around like crazy, all day, every day.  I'm feeling him higher too.

What I miss? Considering I was at a bachelorette party over the weekend, I definitely missed out on having cocktails with the girls on the beach.

Best moment this week: Getting away for the weekend to Lake Michigan to catch up with some girls I studied abroad with!  It was so nice to see the sunset, to lay on the beach, and to have some time to myself.

What I'm looking forward to: We're going to Laura and Ed's wedding tomorrow night and it should be nice to dance the night away with friends from work.

Next Appointment: Tuesday, June 26th at 11am for our ultrasound!  Hoping he's head down...

Milestones: Baby rutabaga is busy getting a sleeping and active schedule down pat.  He's much more active now, which would explain the almost constant movement I'm feeling.  He's even having hiccups!
