26 weeks and counting.


Here's Julian with the onesy my co-worker and his wife got us at Disney world last week. I thought that was Sooo nice of them to even think of us. Its so soft and sweet. It will perfect for him this winter.



This is the tree my sister in law painted in Coopers room. She did such a great job. I absolutely love it. I can't wait to put the rest of the nursery together.


The pic above is of me on my 26 week mark.


This one is still 26 weeks just a different day.

Well this week has been a long week. My sis in law came and painted the tree in Coops room as you can see above. We love it. She did a great job. We had asked her when I very first got pregnant and I new what I wanted it to look like depending on boy or girl. I just can't believe its on the wall and done. I had imagined it for so long and now its there. She did a great job.
I've been having troubles sleeping this week. Everything is fine with the baby, I am just getting uncomfortable. My ribs are really inflamed (that's what my doc told me Friday) apparently they can get inflamed and they can stay that way. So it looks like I better get used to it. Anyways, I wake up in pain on either side and I keep waking up on my back! I can't seem to stop rolling in my sleep (probably because of the intense rib pain???) but I keep waking up on my back and freaking out afraid I'm cutting off the blood supply to the baby. So Friday night I decided to try to sleep with not only my c shaped pregnancy pillow but also a big long body pillow on the other side of me to sort of wedge myself on my side through the night. What happens.... I roll over and us the two pillows on either side of me as an arm rest and foot rest and I'm still on my back :( What the heck???
I don't know how to stop doing that?

Saturday J and I went to the birthing class at the Ob's office. It was interesting and a little scary. I like to try not to think too much about the birth part of this. I'm a worrier so If I don't pre-worry about things I handle the shock of it better. I obviously know the main things about giving birth but I'm trying not to freak myself out to much before it happens. Anyways the class was nice and it was good for my hubby. He learned lots of things that can help him also in the delivery room.

I saw my doctor on Friday, and Cooper is looking good. He's now in the 40Th percentile as apposed to the 35Th like last time we went. So he is growing "whew".
Thank goodness. We did the blood Glucose testing and haven't heard back. Hopefully everything is fine there.
We don't go back for 4 weeks!!!! That seems so long.
But we have our big 4d video ultrasound in two weeks so that will make it a little better. All in all We had a good week.
I just can't thank God enough for this beautiful miracle. Please keep our angel baby safe and alive dear lord. We can't wait to meet him face to face.

Have a good week ladies.

The tree looks amazing! Will she come to minnesota and paint something on two of my walls! ha ha! I wish I knew someone that could paint like that!!

I am glad he is doing ok! I never slept well while I was pregnant! I was always tossing and turning!

Hopefully your ribs do get better!

You are the cutest 26 weeker ever. I never looked that good pregnant. I am sorry you are feeling so uncomfortable. If you can deal with it, it's all worth it in the end. I would try to give you some delivery advice, having had three births of my own and being a labor and delivery nurse but everyone is so different and every situation is so different. I know it's hard but try to relax and let nature do it's course. The best thing I can say is take it one step at a time, one contraction at a time. I know you will do great. By the way, I LOVE the name Cooper, it's just too cute!!!

That tree is amazing! What a great artist you have there!!!!

Can't wait for the 4-D ultra sound pictures and that is so funny how you keep ending up one your back....I'm sure not funny to you of course since its so uncomfortable but funny how our mind just does waht it wants when we sleep ;)

I love the painting, thats beautiful.
You look great, belly growing nicely.

Sorry to hear about your ribs, hopefully you can find a comfortable position to sleep in and stay that way throughout the night, LOL.

The tree your sister-in-law painted is awesome. And the little outfit is too cute. I really wouldn't worry about sleeping on your back so much, as long as your propped up and not flat on your back, I don't think it's a concern. Hope not, because I wind up sleeping that way too but I have about six pillows underneath me. You're almost to the third trimester and you're looking great. Sorry about the ribs hurting still, all I can say is just try stretching daily and see if that helps.

Mandy said...

You look marvelous! I am so jealous of that tree!!!

The sleeping sucks! I know! Do your best to stay on your side, but your body will wake you up if you are on your back and there is a problem! he will let you know!

You look adorable! Sorry to hear that you are not sleeping well...I hate to say that it only gets worse from here on out...but it's all worth it, right?!!!

The mural your SIL painted is absolutely beautiful! What a talented lady! Cooper is one lucky guy to have an auntie who clearly loves him so much already!

Thanks for dropping by and take care of yourself,
