I'm now 26 weeks, +13 pounds, 2 pounds less than a few days ago. Not sure what happened, maybe I'm retaining less water? Anyway, I've got about 13 weeks left. I can't wait. I'm tired of people looking at my belly instead of my face while talking to me.
We had a busy weekend. Went shopping for a few things Friday night for Alex's birthday party on Saturday, which went better than I had expected. I'd rent a party facility again, even if I weren't pregnant and my back weren't killing me.  In fact, I'm already planning something similar for Ana's party next month. I'll be a month closer to my due date and all the happier for not having to deal with all that cooking and cleaning.  Sunday we went to a lovely baby shower for friends who are having a girl. Most of the women I know who are pregnant are also having girls. Fortunately I do have one friend who is definitely having a boy. Yay, someone to take all of Alex's old baby clothes off my hands! Yesterday I woke up with a horrendous pain in my abdomen. Baby girl had turned during the night, and she proceeded to take all morning to wiggle into a different position. Meanwhile I gritted my teeth in pain as she shoved either her feet or her head against my stomach. Unfortunately, all this took place during my glucose tolerance test. The drink was as disgusting as I remembered. Hopefully my blood test comes back okay and I won't have to go through the three hour test like I did with both Alex and Ana. Just thinking about the needles fills me with dread.  After the glucose test we looked at couches in preparation for turning our study into a coffee house. We didn't buy one, but we saw several that would work. Then I got a hair cut. Alex wondered why. He liked my hair the way it was. (Long.) I thought that was very sweet of him to say. Then we went home and I helped Ana walk on Kevin's back. She's the perfect weight for working out the kinks, as long as she doesn't jump. I had other things to say but I can't remember what. Blame it on my pregnant brain. Labels: kids, pregnancy, shopping 1 Comments: |
