26 weeks


Baby boy kicks and punches and rocks and rolls all day long.... and I get weird random hiccups... and he's already simultaneously pushing on my lungs and my bladder, if I hadn't mentioned that. Little scary since I'm not even in the third trimester - am I going to be able to breathe by month eight or nine?? My feet and ankles got way swollen yesterday too, I wasn't anticipating that happening for awhile yet. My total weight gain now is about ten pounds so far. And I found a maternity swim suit (at least, the top/tankini, still need bottoms), which was a challenge with this ridiculously oversized chest. Our pool is already over 70 degrees so I'm looking forward to being in it pretty soon, and probably daily during the summer months. :) I'm also looking forward to the baby shower coming up here in about a month. Plus we picked paint colors for the nursery (we are only going to do one wall though)... and we'll probably pick up the crib here in a couple weeks at IKEA while we are in Phoenix for a birthday party mid May.

  1. I think the swollen feet and ankles must be a rite of passage for all first time moms. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get it this time around. Having the pool is going to be an awesome relief for you in the next few months!

  2. I wasn't expecting it quite this soon, but it did get really warm really quickly so maybe that was the trigger. I am definitely grateful to have a pool this summer!!

  3. Has the little guy had hiccups yet? Really a treat, especially when you are trying to go to sleep. Just like real hiccups, except your belly jumps.
