27 weeks

This weekend my mom came to visit me and spoil me and my baby. We went shopping for some maternity jeans because I only had one pair that really fit me. We picked up a couple of shirts and a dress as well. Then we bought a cute crib bedding set from Walmart and some polka dot wall stickers that matched it. We also bought a bunch of cute little baby girl clothes. It was fun to spend some time with my mom and do some shopping, even though my back was killing me at the end of the day :p.

The crib with the bedding!

When we got to Walmart I had a sharp pain near my cervix that was pretty intense. It felt like it stiffened up and like there were a million needles poking me. It was terrible, but it went away after a few minutes. My mom said that she thinks it could be a contraction. I'm not completely sure what it was, so I guess I have a good question to ask my doctor at my next visit in March.


These are some clothes that my mom bought for the baby. (not the ones from this weekends though)

I have this little heart rate monitor that my mom bought me after we had our 8 week visit. We didn't realize it at the time, but it only works later on during the pregnancy(near the 3rd trimester). There was one time a couple of weeks ago that I actually heard my babies heartbeat, but it only lasted about 10 seconds. Today I thought that I'd try it again and much to my surprise I found it right away! It was really strong and she stayed in that position for a long time! Both my husband and my mom got to hear it! It's always fun to share these experiences with other people. It seems like I'm usually alone when that kind of stuff happens.

After shopping my mom had me model my new maternity clothes for her. She wanted to take some pictures of my big belly. It's just crazy how quickly it grows! It has only been a week since I took the last picture and it has grown a lot!

Weird Dreams

So last night I had a series of weird dreams that had to do with taking care of babies. At first I was in the hospital visiting some lady who just had Twins. She let me hold one and he just started bawling so I had to give him right back to her. Then I was at home and I realized that my baby was here and I had to start using all of the baby stuff I have. It was hard because I had to changer her clothes, but I was having a hard time cleaning all of the clothes off of the changing table. It was covered in them! Then I had to find some pajamas for her, which took me a while. After that dream I started dreaming that I went to buy some new pet fish. I started out with 2, but then realized that there was a little tiny baby fish in the aquarium. I was really freaked out because I didn't want it to get eaten or squished by the other 2 fish so I was trying to keep it safe. Then all of a sudden I had a lot of different types of fish in my aquarium, each type had a little baby one in there. I was just so worried that they would all get eaten! Then I couldn't find the first baby fish. I woke up after that! I have such weird dreams!

26 weeks

So yesterday I decided to take another picture of my belly and realized that it has grown quite a bit! I wouldn't have even noticed it if it wasn't for the picture!



Well so far this week I haven't had too much going on. I can tell you that my little baby sure likes to get up into my ribs! Tonight I have gotten a couple of hard kicks. I will sure take a little pain over no kicks at all. Well this is a pretty boring post, but I thought I'd just put my belly picture on here!

25 week dr. visit.

I had a my Dr. appointment today and everything is still very good. He said that my belly is growing just like it is supposed to. That means my little baby isn't growing too quickly! This makes me happy because Steven's family has big 9 lb babies and I really don't want mine to come out that big! That would be so painful! Her heart rate was 142 bpm which is perfect! I'm so glad everything is going so well!

I finally quit working as a waitress! Yesterday was my last day and boy am I glad. My back, legs and feet hurt so bad after working there and I'm not even into my third trimester yet! My Dr. said that the third trimester is pretty hard on your body so I'm thinking that quitting right now was a great idea!

Other than all of that everything is great! I've been pretty tired because of my schedule, but still doing very well. I guess that is all I have for this post.
