26 weeks!

I can't believe it's already been 26 weeks (or that we have <100 days left to go!)

We have actually been slacking on getting ready for Corbin to be here. I realized that we have a limited number of weekends free and we have a ton of stuff to do. I figured I'd steal an idea from Dana at Destined to be Domestic (and a Mommy too!) and make a list that I can cross off as needed. I am sure I will add to this list, just as often as I take things off. I'll put it at the end of this post. :-)

Other than that, we've been doing great! I keep testing dehydrated, and have had to up my water intake from 64 oz to 96 oz. It's tough! I am not a fan of water, plus I am not a big drinker. I maybe have one glass of drink when I eat. I feel like I am drinking all day, and then peeing all night. Seriously, how is it helping my dehydration if it is all peed out?

How far along are you?: 26w, 1 day

How big is baby?: He's about 2lbs now I think
Weight gain/loss?: I have only gained 6 lbs total. I'm pretty happy

Stretch marks?: Ugh, yes!! I invested in coco butter. I know it won't stop them, but if it helps make them lighter, then I'm all for it. I couldn't bring myself to spend $40 on mederma

Maternity clothes?: Definately. I have one shirt that is a maternity shirt that tends to ride up. Wonderful

Sleep?: I love it. I would sleep all day if I could. Whoever said you get an energy boost in 2nd tri is a low down dirty liar.

Best moment this week?: Working on his wall letters for his name and they actuallycoming out pretty good! I have to redo the "C" so hopefully I'll have a pic up next post.

Food cravings?: Steak and potatos. I've been wanting sweets lately too

Gender?: Boy :)

Movement?: Yes, it's fun watching my tummy bounce when he really gets kicking.

Belly button?: Still an innie, but shallower

 

Labor signs?: Not lately. I had some really bad pains after being delayed in Dallas for 5 hours, the Dr. thinks it may have been contractions, thus upping my water.

What do I miss?: Not feeling tired all the time! 

What I'm looking forward to this week? FINALLY getting our bedding in! It's been a long 8 weeks :)
