26 Weeks



(Aside from feeling like I look like a busted can of biscuits, this bump picture really shows the little Miss Avery Grace)

How Far Along: 26 Weeks  

Size of baby: Cucumber (15 inches, 2.2 lbs) 

Total Weight Gain/Loss+8.  Avery Grace is packing on the pounds.  :)

Maternity Clothes: Everything now. I'm still enjoying normal sized shoes....although some of those are pretty tight now. 

Gender: GIRL!  Avery Grace has already stolen our hearts!

Movement: More predictable now.  I can tell where she's positioned by her movements.  She loves to be breech, feet at my lower left side and head in my upper right side....nestled right under my diaphragm.  

Sleep: Gone.  My ability to sleep is still gone.  Although, in the course of the past week I've gone from waking up every 45 minutes to every 2 hours as of last night.  I called and got advice as to what I can take sleep aid wise to help and the doctor recommended Unisom.  The first night I took it I'm pretty sure I had my first episode of sleep walking.  Actually, I'm more than pretty sure, it happened.  We'll just leave it at that....just know that funny things did happen.  And it involved cereal.  And sweatpants.

What I miss: Sleep. 

Cravings: Sweet tea- big time.

Symptoms: Fatigue.  I hit a wall of exhaustion around 1:30pm every day.  Not sure if it's from lack of sleep or I'm really just that tired.

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Avery Grace's first shower!  We are extremely blessed to have some wonderful Godly ladies that were willing to pour into our lives and host this wonderful shower!  I only hope Avery understands when she's old enough how much she is already loved by so many precious people.

24-25 Week Update


How Far Along: 25 Weeks  

Size of baby: Eggplant 

Total Weight Gain/Loss+6 still.  According the doctor at my most recent appointment, I'm nearly not gaining enough weight.  I don't think I've ever been told such news in the history of, well, ever. 

Maternity Clothes: Everything now. I'm still enjoying normal sized shoes. 

Gender: GIRL!  Avery Grace has already stolen our hearts!

Movement: Avery is a night owl.  She loves the hours of 9pm to 3am.

Sleep: Gone.  My ability to sleep is gone.  :(  

What I miss: Nothing this week...surprisingly. 

Cravings: Orange juice, sweet tea, and milk.

Symptoms: Fatigue and occasional headache.

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Going to my follow up appointment this week.  Avery is growing so fast!  She's all legs (like her mama).  Next appointment is at 28 weeks!

23 Weeks



How Far Along: 23 Weeks.  

Size of baby: Ear of corn. (8.5 inches; 1.5 pounds) 

Total Weight Gain/Loss+6 total this week. 

Maternity Clothes: Everything now. I'm still enjoying normal sized shoes. 

Gender: GIRL!  Avery Grace has already stolen our hearts!

Movement: Movement is all the time still.  Avery loves church.  She seems to go on a kick marathon during Pastor Danny's sermons.

Sleep: Still consistently waking up to go to the bathroom.  

What I miss: Nothing this week...surprisingly. 

Cravings: Orange juice, sweet tea, and milk.

Symptoms: Fatigue and occasional headache.

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Rough week with the gimp hand.  Went to the hand specialist on Wednesday morning and was told it was indeed an avulsion fracture (I'll spare you the gory details, but it involves the ripping away of bone fragment and tearing of tendons...).  I'm in the sweet and stylish splint you can see in the bump picture for up to 12 weeks.  YIKES!  
I'm definitely looking forward to my next ultrasound appointment coming up this Wednesday.
