Yesterday I subbed for Chelsey's 1st grade class. I'm not sure if it was being pregnant, the fact that it was my first day working since June, her class was crazy, or a combo of all three...but i was EXHAUSTED by 8:30 at night!
The kids asked if I was having a baby, and I said yes. Then, wouldn't you guess it, almost EVERY hand raised and told me how their mom, aunt, sister, cousin had or is having a baby. First graders, gotta love them. :-)
I threw myself a little pity party this week because of all the teachers going back to school and getting into a routine..and here I am..stalking subfinder hoping to get work! However, I am reminded that this is what God has planned for me right now..and when my little handsome man comes, I will be grateful to pick and choose the days I want to work!
In music news...I bought the new Sara Bareilles Cd..and I am in LOVE.
I knew I would be..but hearing her new music is very inspiring! I cannot wait to go to her concert in a few weeks with Chels and Erin!! Woo for girls night!Now on to the good stuff:
FYI: Bump shot this week is kinda weak.I don't have a low enough mirror to take a sufficient picture..but it will do. Plus, I'm not smiling again. FAIL. Oh well, ya get the picture!
How far along? 26weeks 5 days
Total weight gain/loss: Still in the normal range, but its starting to creep up!!
How big is baby? Size: 14 inches Weight: 2lbs
Maternity clothes? I'm still trying to wear non-maternity shirts, but its getting harder each week!!! I'm loving maternity pants though, I think regular designers should look into stretchy, cute, waistband jeans! lol
Sleep: Well my knocking on wood last week must have no worked because I've been sleeping like crap. My back has been giving me problems. Its not unbearable yet..but we shall see!
Best moment this week: Getting the invite to my shower...handmade by Chelsey and Val- the two greatest friends a girl could ask for!!
Movement: Love feeling him move and kick! He has been kicking Joel A LOT this past week! SO fun!
Food cravings: I am waiting for these darn cravings to really kick in. I want that experience of "I NEED ________ right now!! I guess I craved Spaghetti, but since it is my favorite food, I always want some!
Gender: Team BLUE!
Labor Signs: nope!
Belly Button in or out? Still in..and I can't see it anymore by looking down..so I have to rely on the mirror. ek!
Stretchmarks? This, my friends, is now a sore subject. I have spotting a few of these little suckers on the lower part of my belly. I was looking in the mirror and had to do a double take! I texted Joel in shock about it..and all he said was "Yeah I saw them the other night!" AH. Thanks a lot babe. A simple "Oh ya can't even notice them" or something would have helped. Oh well. I went out and got some stretch mark lotion. Like my mom said, "Welcome to Motherhood!"
How are you feeling? Besides the occasional back ache, I'm still feeling good! :)
What I am looking forward to: Ultrasound next week!
What I miss: Bending over with ease.
Weekly Wisdom:“Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, or powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives."
Milestones: Starting bi-weekly appointments!

At least Joel was nice enough not to point out the stretch marks! :) I got horrible ridiculous giant stretch marks with Lily BUT the good news is that they really fade a lot and I can really barely see them now. So take heart! :)
Wow-- I can't believe that you're already starting bi-weekly appointments! Mine didn't start until 30 weeks.
Oooohhh the stretchmarks-- remind me to send you a pic of mine. They're horrendous.
Your baby belly looks FANTASTIC!!
Yay for updates! My doctor told me that shorter girls usually have more of the back soreness/issues :( I'm guessing mine will start soonish too.... You've probably already heard this but she told me the more I walk/exercise, the better it would be, and she gave me some back stretches and exercise to help too. Let me know if you want them!
