Belly Week 26

 

Belly Week 26

 

I had my 6th Dr's appointment at the beginning of week 26. Everything went well. Found out that Dr. Hucker has now retired and a large group of physicians are now employed at the office. I still see Sylvia but if any issues arise and a Dr. is needed it will be whoever is on call. Next appt I will meet Dr. Carter. This group also comes to Sparta Women's Health so I know most of them by name. already. I took a big bag of zucchini along with me and gave to the nurses in the office. They were going banana's over them! Ha if they only knew how much zucchini we having coming out of our ears! At the end of the appt Sylvia said will see you in 2 weeks. I think I was in shock! Holy crap it is already time to go to the dr. every 2 weeks instead of just monthly. Time is just flying by so fast. Afterwards I swung by the Bread Co for bagels to take to all my lovely co-workers and to get a yummy breakfast souffle.

 

Lots of exciting things going on this week. Rhett felt little Belinda move for the very 1st time!!! He didn't say much but smiled real big. I was laying on the couch one day and actually saw my belly move. After placing my hand on my belly could see it moving up and down too. Fun Fun Fun!! On 7-30-13 could feel hiccups going on in my tummy. During the 20 week us scan we saw her have the hiccups but this was first time I have felt it. My amazing Mother ordered the bedding and it arrived. Love it!! The only bummer is the lamp shade has a dent in it. I called BabySuperMall and the woman was extremely nice. I have to take a picture email and a new shade will be sent. Easy enough! Have noticed lately getting heartburn more often. It is not an every day occurrence but more than before.

 

On Sunday Allie texted and said she was eating at Red Lobster so I got a little jealous. All I could think about was delicious biscuits. When I got home from work Sunday afternoon I suggested we go eat at RL. Even though I had 2 easy days I was drained from getting up so early but it just sounded so good. To my surprise Rhett said ok so we cleaned up and headed to South County. I was extremely hungry by the time we got there. Our waiter was slow as molasses and took what felt like 5 years to bring our biscuits and salads. PREGNANT STARVING LADY HERE!!! Once it came I ate half my salad 2 biscuits and felt sick to my stomach. I'm not sure why but I felt so bloated all of a sudden. Rhett was like what in the world is wrong with you. I unbuttoned my jeans for some relief. I would have to say it helped a little but still felt icky. I picked around at my meal once it came and ate a few pieces of shrimp and one bite of mashed potatoes. The good thing that came from this disaster was yummy leftovers. yay!! I'm so pathetic I didn't even zip or button my pants to walk out to the car. I just pulled my shirt down and held the food/purse in front of my waist. Please tell me I'm not alone here!!! Surely another pregnant woman somewhere has done this before.... Once I relaxed the seat back in the car and laid down I started feeling better. Definitely noticing that smaller meals more often are better for me.

 

Rhett has been telling me I need to clean my vehicles because they are DIRTY!! Some things I am super crazy about being clean and picked up but the car is not one of them. This past Monday was a nice day out so I decided to tackle the job of cleaning out both the cavalier & denali. I ended up vaccumming & dusting them and boy did they need it. The white car was pretty gross. I don't feel like my belly is extremely big yet but I could really tell it was more difficult cleaning than normal. Just bending over, leaning down, and trying to reach certain areas was exhausting. Glad I got that job done before I get further along. Then I mowed grass for about 2.5 hours. It was like a miracle the grass wasn't too tall or  wet, it wasn't hot outside, and I had brand new blades on the mower. Everything mowed up so nice. It was a little bouncier than normal so I just had to take a few breaks to rest. Then I cleaned up a big pile of tomatoes from our garden. Planning to make salsa but I don' have quite enough yet. Monday was such a productive day! Normally after working all weekend I do nothing on Monday but not this week. It felt really good to get all those things done.

After today I have 5 days off work & now it is August which means my birthday month!! Happy Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just love this!
