26 Weeks

I am wayyy behind!  Completely missed week 25 due to it being the last week of Class 5 of the masters program.  Half way done!  Class 6 starts Monday and its a doozie.  The dreaded Research Action course:(  7 weeks of BLAH!  However it ends just before the end of April and soon after Addison will be here!  I am still debating on taking class 7 in May or waiting until July to start back up again.  I don't want to get behind but I also don't want to miss one minute of being with the boys and new baby Addison.  Logan and Austin are changing and saying the cutest stuff; I will have to blog next about how great those two boys are! 

Today I had to go to the OB after being sick all week.  Addison's heart rate was in the 140s and my weight gain well lets just say I told the nurse her scale was wrong.  On to this week's update:)


UPDATE - PASSED 3 hour glucose test!  WOOHOO!!!  I celebrated by eating candy all day on Valentine's day:)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 26 Weeks

Size of baby: Addison is now the size of an eggplant!  She is very busy soaking up my antibodies, getting her immune system ready for life outside the womb.  Eyes are forming, and she'll soon be practicing the blink...perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.  (the bump.com)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Total weight gain 20lbs. Starting weight 105 current weight 125 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: All tops regular for now - I would stay in my regular tops but I don't want them to become stretched out too much. LOVE LOVE LOVE my GAP Maternity Jeans. I wear those when I go out and sweatpants when I am home - which is often - HA! I have two Rubbermaid containers of maternity clothes I kept from being pregnant before. However, I am not too into them. I think from working and wearing them so often I just can't do it. Right now at least!

Gender: It's a girl!!! Addison Kathleen Harris

Movement: Addison is a mover. She MOVES all the time.  She is very busy. 

Sleep: I am sleeping soooo much better.  I am just so tired at this point that I get in bed and fall asleep.  When I wake up four or five times to pee I just go and get back in bed and fall right back to sleep!  THANK GOODNESS!

What I miss: Not much but I think I have rolled over to sleep on my stomach more than once (sorry baby girl).  Feeling like myself more than anything.  I look at my face and don't even recognize me with dark circles under my eyes and water weight that fills my cheeks.  However its all worth the greatest gift that I will get soon.
Cravings: Sweets - at Costco I bought a BIG container of chocolate covered raisins (because raisins are healthy ;).  They were gone in a few days - but I had help (Brian and Austin love them too)!
Symptoms: Mostly tiredness
Best Moment this week: My in laws and Brian working on putting bead board and chair rail up in Addison's room - so beautiful!
