Tomorrow will be my 26th week. I think that means I'm 6 1/2 months along. I have my 27 week doctor appointment next week with the dreaded glucose test. With Ethan's pregnancy I failed the first test and had to do the three hour test but passed. It was very uncomfortable and made me sick but I feel so much healthier overall I don't think I'll have an issue.
I haven't written as much as I hoped with this pregnancy but I am more focusing on enjoying it. Here's a little bit of how this pregnancy is going. We have chosen a name. Oliver (Ollie for short)! Right now he should weigh around 2 pounds and about 14 inches long. His eyes that have been fused shut should start to open this week and he can sense bright light. He can also hear and has been able to for a few weeks. We have been talking to him and like to think he knows mommy and daddy's voices.
He seems to be more active when I'm settling down for th bed and when I'm waking up with the morning. Sometime I can feel him squirm around during the middle of the night. Unless I'm relaxing he is pretty quiet during the day.
My belly button has popped a few weeks ago and it seems like I am all belly this pregnancy. Haven't had too much swelling but I can feel it start when I don't drink as much water as I need to. I can tell my hips are stretching but I don't feel like I've gained much weight like I did with Ethan.
I'm not stressed too much about my diet but I am trying to eat better foods when I can and indulging in cravings here and there. My fitness goal is to work out hard and clean up my diet after the six weeks of recovery and to lean up and be back in my size 8 jeans by March of 2016. I know I can do!
