Bumpdate

It's been a strange week around here... well almost 2 weeks. Tyler got really sick :( But being the dedicated, hard working man he is, he got his butt out of bed every day, went to work, came home and went right back to bed. It was really very sad. But he's all better now!! Yay!!
I also experienced my first snow day... in Dallas of all places...haha! Its kind of sad how the whole place shuts down for such a small amount... but I'm not complaining!! 

Anyway, it's about time for a bumpdate!! Wooo!! hehe we are getting close to the 3rd trimester and let me tell you I can't wait!!! Haha everyday we get a little more excited to meet this little bug!! 

How far along: 25.5 weeks!! 

Baby Size: Head of Cauliflower (13.6-14.8 in and 1.5-2.5 lbs)

Maternity Clothes: Not really. We did buy one pair of maternity jeans which

have been fun but mostly I just wear leggings and sweats! :) 

Sleep: I get up about every 2 hours. It's kind of a pain, and it takes me 

a long time to fall asleep, but I sleep really great between 6 and 9 am! 

Movement: Baby has started wiggling and rolling (right onto my bladder). Nothing consistent but more and more everyday! {It is an amazing feeling to have a little one moving around inside, but it is also one of the weirdest feelings ever... like super strange!}

Weight Gain: a lot...hehe. Total weight gain is about 26 lbs. I'm feeling like a lot of that is baby though :)

Cravings: Still nothing... I love milk though. I'm pretty sure half of our grocery budget this month has been spent on milk. :) 

Aversions: I've finally stopped gagging over hair (for the most part) but raw chicken still grosses me out. {Thanks husband for always cooking the chicken!! and every other meat for that matter!!}

Best moment this week: After almost a week of sleeping in the other room (because Tyler was so sick) I finally moved back into our room. I snuggled into Tyler's back and baby kicked him right in the back! He was a little surprised but it was so fun!! :) 

What I'm feeling: Once again I'm just feeling really grateful. Not once have I been concerned about labor or parenthood, but pregnancy freaks me out, there are so many unknowns, so much uncertainties, so many moments of not knowing and doubt, but through each moment I know that my husband is on my side, that our families are supporting us, and that ultimately my Heavenly Father is in charge and that He knows what is best and this is all happening according to His timing! I'm grateful for prayer, and blessings, and the comfort and peace that comes from the knowledge of the Gospel!! 

Weird Pregnancy moment: Because my center of gravity is changing (grow baby grow) my upper back muscles are working extra hard to keep my posture good. So every once in a while at night when all my muscles are relaxed a nerve gets pinched and pretty much it's one of the strangest pains I've ever experienced. Luckily Tyler is the bestest, most patient ever (even when I had to wake him up) and he will massage, apply heat, or cold, and just talk me through breathing until it goes away. Once again I have the best husband EVER!!:)
