26 WEEKS

Mommy and Mason Update:
Yesterday, I had my Week 26 Appointment with Dr. H and here is a brief update:
Gained 2 pounds
Blood pressure looks great
Mason's heartbeat was 148
Mason is measuring 26 weeks and 1 day
He was breech again and the u/s tech decided to do a 4D so we could get a better picture of him...still too early to tell who he will look like:) She also said that his feet were right on my bladder...DUH!
Waiting on the results for my sugar test
We will start seeing the doctor every two weeks now
We scheduled our birthing classes for August...so exciting!!!!


Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 26 Weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 8 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I love my jean capris! I just bought my first maternity swimsuit for the beach...love it!
Best Moment this week: Jeff, my mother and I got to see Mason in 4D!
Gender: It's A Boy! - Mason Andrew
Movement: Mason likes to kick Mommy's ribs and when he is breech he loves to kick my bladder!
Food Craving: I love McDonald's ketchup!
What I miss: Lifting stuff and being able to do things without asking people to help me. Also, I miss working in my garden, but it's way too hot for me to do that this year!
Sleep: Starting to sleep more on my side...I bought a Boppy body pillow several months ago, but haven't used it lately...I guess I'll start:)
What I am looking forward to:
I'm looking forward to the beach with my family, getting a pedicure and getting our painting done after we get back!!!
Belly Button: In for now, but it's close to popping out. The other night, Jeff and I laughed hysterically at the fact that every time I laugh my belly button looks like it will pop out at any minute...I gross my Dad out every time I talk about it. It's funny that my belly button has been the topic of conversation lately :)
Shots: Yesterday, the doctor said to keep giving the shots in the stomach:( It's going to get more painful, but it will be worth it:)
Stretch Marks: No stretch marks so far! I'm lathering up with Bath and Body cream everyday!
Symptoms: I'm having pretty terrible heartburn! I had heartburn before pregnancy, but nothing like this...WOW! Also, my hips and back hurt daily:( but other than that...I've had a great pregnancy thus far!


It's still A BOY!!!

Warmest,
