I have been trying to take advantage of every moment before this baby comes, which means I have been kinda tired lately with everything I have been trying to fit in! I was able to meet up with two different college friends, one for coffee and one for ice cream in the same day. I hadn't seen either of them in well over a year and it was wonderful to catch up. Then I got to hang out with Gabe on Tuesday after working my long 4 day weekend (with a double and being a witness to a bad wreck thrown in). We went shopping at ikea and the tukwilla costco and got some awesome kitchen stuff. Then Wednesday I had my midwife appt where she said everything is looking good, baby is growing well, though I was measuring 24.5 weeks and I was almost 26 weeks...those measurements can't be that accurate anyway... That was my last 3-4 week appt now I will go every two weeks till 36 weeks, then every week.
I had a gift card to ikea and didn't know how much was on it. I ended up spending the whole gift card and only 2.43 of my own money, I couldn't have planned better. It was an awesome trip. While at costco I saw the biggest nutella I have ever seen in my life! And the day before I ate the biggest glazed donut I have ever seen. Its a season of big. :)
Then today I got to watch Becca's kids for a few hours while she and Jeremy went to an interview. Hailey was quite sad when they left but ended up calming down and falling asleep in my arms after 10-15 minutes. Shea on the other hand was excited to play with toys and watch a show on netflix and wasn't the least bit concerned about his sisters crying. :) While Hailey took an hour long nap Shea and I played planes, trains, and automobiles on our home drawn track in the kitchen.
And now for some belly pictures. I have been good about taking pictures with my good camera every week, sometimes they are a few days late, but hey, if they are done within the correct week I call that success. I don't get dressed into regular clothes on a daily basis, so it's a special occasion in these pictures. :)
25 weeks.

26 weeks!
I cant thank you enough for watching the kids! We are driving home just now (still with a stop at grandmas!) and shea had a blast with you! Dont worry about measuring small...i did with shea and they had me all worried for no reason. I had to go to this silly high risk place to be monitored and they "measured" baby a day before he came and were off by a pound! You look super and babies can hide their bodies amazingly well inside of us sometimes :). Thank you for giving up part of your day off for us! Wish we could've visited more, some time you will have to come out when we can relax more. So glad you got to meet up with friends in the midst of your busy schedule!
ReplyDeleteI really really really want a doughnut now. AGH.
ReplyDeleteI just saw those big jars of Nutella too for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I want one! But it would also be dangerous because we would finish off the whole thing. It's so nice that you're able to watch Becca's kids. I like hearing that you ladies all get to see each other, it makes me happy. You are looking so cute in your pictures. I'm so glad you are feeling good busy.
