26 Weeks Pregnant!


Sorry for not updating my blog often, it’s been crazy around here!
First of all, I would like to say I am officially 26 weeks pregnant! It seems to go by fast at times and others it seems to go soooo slow. 

Life has been crazy around here! With school and our upcoming trip to Boston I’ve been keeping myself pretty occupied. For Spring Break I decided to get a bunch of crafts done and some reading done as well since I haven’t taken much “me” time. It was fabulous, but now it’s back to reality and we will be leaving for Boston on Wednesday night. I am so excited to go somewhere new and of course for my brother’s wedding! I’ve been trying to pack slowly while cleaning and that has been working out pretty well, as far as school work goes though, that isn’t going as smoothly. Boo! It will all get done though, it always does! 

So now about my pregnancy!!! There are some new and exciting things happening, and some new and not so thrilling but still kind of exciting things (if that makes any sense). 

·         -First, he’s moving like crazy! He pretty much moves throughout the day, some days more than others. I like to kid myself and believe I know his “schedule” but he proves me wrong pretty much every time. Shaun has been able to feel and see him move, which I love and my parents have both seen him move. It seems like whenever sticks their hands on my stomach to feel him move he quits completely. Ha!

·         -Indigestion! Yuck! I’ve had heartburn before but never indigestion, and it is soooo gross and annoying!

·         -My stomach has actually grown (one of those not so thrilling yet exciting things). I doubted my stomach would stretch much since I was overweight pre-pregnancy but I was wrong! As exciting as it is to have a human being growing inside you it’s not as thrilling to realize you’re gaining weight. Yes, I know, I know, it’s for a good cause! 

·         -The pain! (Yet another not so thrilling thing). It’s a bit exciting though because I know it’s from me stretching and getting ready for the baby, but it doesn’t make the pain hurt less! Haha. I knew to expect back pain and such but I never realized my hips/pelvic would hurt so badly! 

I’ve had a lot to occupy me from thinking about the baby coming but the other day I realized that I really have to get this baby out of me somehow. It’s so exciting, yet extremely terrifying to think about. I am so anxious to meet my little guy! 

Some more exciting things going on, in two day I will have been married for one year!!! That is so exciting and I am so happy! I love my husband so much and he is the best thing that ever happened to me! God has truly blessed my life and given me everything I’ve ever wanted and everything I’ve ever needed and more! He has fulfilled my life to the fullest and without him I would have nothing. I am so grateful for His love and kindness! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the weekend and week! And again, thanks for reading my blog!
