Bump Day Baby #2 - Week 26



  • Baby is the size of a head of lettuce
  • Baby is soaking up my antibodies, eyes are forming and lashes are growing!
  • Had a doctor appointment yesterday. I have gained 15 lbs, baby had a heart rate of 160 and I am measuring a week early (27 weeks)
  • Measuring a week early makes total sense because I feel much larger this time around than I did with Turner and EVERYONE and their mom wants to point it out. A few stories...
    • Lady checking me in @ gym asked if I was due any day now...
    • Waitress at tax season party thought I was about to pop
    • Lady at church thought I was carrying multiple babies since I am not due until July but this large
  • I feel like I should wear a shirt that says...'things to NOT say to a pregnant woman'. I am not surprised to hear comments from people that have never been pregnant, but when someone says something about my size that has experience pregnancy...I often think 'would you like to hear that when you were pregnant'? I understand I am growing a human and the whole point is to get larger, but we don't need to point out the obvious or even comment about how HUGE I am especially when I have 14 weeks left (some of the above comments were made a few weeks ago...so that's nice)!
  • I felt my first braxton hicks last night. While doing dishes, my stomach cramped up and got SUPER tight.
  • Sleep is not an issue for me at all. I fall asleep so fast, wake up refreshed without waking at all during the night. I am so grateful for this!
  • Back into my morning gym routine and I love it! Can't wait for the weather to stay warm so our evenings consist of walks and park fun.
  • We finished painting the foyer this past Sunday. We are not 100% on the color..but we will put some decor and see if it blends well with everything. 
  • Still can't manage to eat any veggies besides cold carrots and celery. When I do eat them, it's like I am choking them down.
  • Getting more difficult to bend over and do things.
  • Made another baby purchase...a new diaper bag. The Coach one I have is not very roomy and definitely would not fit items for 2 kids. When you cloth diaper, you need more room for this bulky diapers. I found this one at Buy Buy Baby. Purchased it with a 20% off coupon. Brought it home to see if everything in my current diaper bag would fit...it does and there is so much more room for more so that is a keeper then! 



  • We've started to get Turner's new room ready. We think we will move him down that at his 2nd birthday in early June. Nothing will change about his room, just location. Still same furniture (minus glider) and decor since when I decorated nursery I made it so it grow with him.
  • Pretty excited about my sister's at home wedding reception this weekend. Excited to spend time with family and friends.
