26 week update

im clearly carrying differently this pregnancy...

but my belly growth slowed down and is back on target with last pregnancy... i think!?!?

the aches and pains are significantly more this time around.

last sunday and monday i couldnt walk thanks to some lovely paralyzing sciatic pain

things are finally losening up and i was able to get back in the gym

typically by 6-7 pm i am dying to get in bed from the low back/hip pain and then everything locks up. the heating pad is my best friend. still able to sleep on my sides and back thankfully.

this baby boy also seems to be more active than asher was.

i could clearly be forgetting as it is very easy to do that, but wow. dance party in my belly.

thankfully no movement wakes me up out of my sleep...just philip snoring... sorry honey

i have cleared my 3rd trimester!?!? that is crazy to me. life is so busy with a toddler. potty training. pneumonia. just to name a few of the recent things. i try to soak this up and take it all in. spending time in the nursery and making progress. trying to enjoy this pregnancy as its very own.

its tough calling this baby...baby. and for now, its just that. baby. we really have no definite name. we are super picky and we are struggling. we want it to have some relevance or importance to us...either after someone or derived from family. hopefully in the next 10 weeks we can come up with something. you know im dying to put the name on something. DYING.

so thats my 26 week update. next week is my glucose test and first appointment in 5 weeks. we spread them apart so i could kill two birds in one appt. then i go to bi weekly appointments. really!? already!? ahhhhh!!!

just had to share...
