Hello, Well we have reached 26 Weeks! Holy Moly...is what I have to say! It is insane how fast the time is going. There isn't a whole lot new this week. Again I forgot to take pictures of my Mama buys. So hopefully I will put them in the 27 Week update for you. It's nothing too exciting anyways. haha! We Celebrated my little Sister Lacey's Birthday on Saturday. Her Birthday is actually the 1st of April! So my Sister Trishea and her boyfriend came down as well. It was good times. We stayed up pretty late Friday night playing some board games and Taboo. So fun. I am addicted to that game. Lol! I think my Sister had a good Party though, so that's good. It was nice to spend time with Family and Friends ;) Next week Lacey is gonna come over so we can work on getting the Baby's little "Nursery area" ready. I say it this way because we are gonna decorate our Master Bedroom...where the baby will sleep for the first few weeks of life. Get it ready for a little boy to arrive! I can't wait I am so excited to start and share our progress...and to pull ou those itty bitty clothes and get them organized...and those itty bitty cloth diapers too :) YAY! I am still digesting the fact that I get to have another little man in our life. God is so good. I am so blessed with this life! How is Mama feeling? Well I am getting at the tired phase again. It comes and goes...this week though I definitely feel less energy. It doesn't help that I have been staying up so late either. Something we should change really quick here so I can enjoy my early nights while I can. Heartburn comes and goes. When it comes...Yup it sucks. But it usually goes away on it's own...I haven't had to take anything for it just yet...but maybe when he gets a little bigger I will. I feel like I am finally slowing down a bit on growing size Large. Haha. This week I actually dropped on the scale a bit...so that is good news. I obviously know that I will gain weight in pregnancy...but for a few weeks there it was going up a few pounds a week...which scares me. Jayden looked at me the other day and asked me to face him so I did and he started laughing. I looked down to see what was so funny...so he said "turn to the side" so I did and he laughed more and said "Wow you are sooo pregnant" LOL. Turkey!!! How Big is Baby for Week 26? A head of Lettuce! 13.6-14.8 inches and 1.5-2.5 pounds. Yup. Getting bigger. Like seriously A head of lettuce.... <3 Here are my Q's for the Week!

Hello,
Yikes it has been to long. No video. Sorry. For those of you that like them. Maybe I will do one soon. But anyways I thought I should fill you in on the weeks that I missed. Just in case some of you were wondering! 20-23 Weeks: I officially signed up for the W.I.N Program (Women Infant Nutrition) so that was really cool. Some benefits for joining are I get coupons when we meet....coupons that I can use at the grocery store for like free milk and other dairy, vegetables, and fruit/juices. But that's not the reason I joined...it is a really fun group I already met some great people (Mom's) through it. There is something about meeting and learning about babies and meeting other people with the same things going on as you isn't there? I LOVE this program. It should be a blast once we start up full force again this fall! Jayden and I Celebrated our 4 Year Wedding Anniversary on the 16th of June! :) We had a Family Reunion July 11-14th (23 Weeks Pregnant) it was super fun. We have one every 3 Years on Hubby's side (so this was my second one) It was so exciting to have our baby to be prayed for and loved as much as some of the older generation showed! WOW! 24-27 Weeks: I started meeting with some ladies from my church on Wednesday to sew with them. I sewed a few things since then (especially things for my little niece)! July 30th (25 Weeks 5 Days) My little niece Isla Lynn Madsen joined us. She is lovely :) I meet every Monday with some ladies I know and we crochet/knit together...then we meet again during the week at a local coffee shop that has the best Carmel Mocha Latte's :) Oh the joys of being a Housewife! What more can I ask for? 28-29 Weeks: August 17th (28 Weeks 2 Days)We had a Doctor's appointment she said everything was going super well and that it was time to take our Glucose test! So I did that a few days later. I hate getting poked...I hate it so much!!! LOL! Also she said we are now going to meet every 2 weeks instead of every month! The 19th I got my blood tests done! Aug 20-25th In Edmonton researching some baby things to buy...then we went and visit with my Family for a few days. We mended some relationships that needed mending. Thank you for your Prayers on that. It is really nice to fix things when they are broken...especially with Family! I Love you Mom & Dad...always!!!! WE got a call from our Doctor saying the Glucose test came back positive!!! EEEKK!!! What a scare!!! So we went for another test. Which took over 3 hours of being at the hospital and having to drink that gross drink again (which messed up my system for several days after) Then we had our regular scheduled Doctor's appointment a few days later. The results then came back Negative. So YAY for not have Diabetes!!!!! 30 Weeks: We had another Doctor's appointment (because it is every 2 weeks now not every month) and I noticed that the baby always has the hiccups down below in my "lower" regin like super low so I asked the Doctor if that meant the baby's head was down....she checked and sure enough it is. So let's hope it stays that way. I have gained 18 pounds so far in this pregnancy. Doctor says she is happy with my weight gain. If she's happy...I'm happy!!!! My Belly is 30 Inches according to the Doc! I have been having pretty restless sleeps during 30 weeks. Waking up and thinking that I had a lot to do before my Baby get's here. Stupid things like cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming...and then things like what car seat are we going to buy? LOL Yeah it's been...awesome!!!! 31 Weeks: We had our first Prenatal Class! It was awesome. Our Best Friends are in it too...so that's cool! I have been feeling baby a lot lately. I am starting to notice how it is starting to sit and where it's head is and where it's feet are. I LOVE feeling movements especially it's hiccups! I am becoming so in Love with my Baby I am enjoying every moment of it's growing and learning. Soon enough I will be able to see this beautiful little face and hands and feet and nose and ears and hair. I wonder every day how it will look. Like it's Dad? Like Me? I am so filled with Wonder of this little creation. I thank God everyday for giving us this beautiful gift of life inside me. How Amazing! Symptoms these past few months! Honestly I am safe to say that this pregnancy has been AMAZING so far! I am so lucky to experience this. I have bonded so much with this little person inside me and I have become so much closer in my Walk. I am tired...here and there! I get heartburn...here and there (take 2 tums and I am good to GO) I wake up to pee about 4 times a night...but fall asleep once my head hits the pillow again! My "chest area" hurts now and then...but nothing to complain about! Yeah I wish I could get to say more...but honestly I don't have anything to say. It has seriously been a blast being pregnant. If pregnancy was like this every time...we would be in trouble...because I would want like 10 kids and counting! LOL! Anyways that's enough for my novel. The next one will be shorter! Thanks for reading! Sorry I didn't make a video instead but it would have been like 30 minutes long if I made this into a video! If I keep on top of things I could literally make 2 minute video's. No belly shot today either. I'm lazy! haha! When it comes to blogging. So hopefully I can get into it more! Thank you to those who really like my blog! That means a lot to me. ...following my dreams... -Cynthia |
