Weekend Recap

Friday

Today I still had the day off from work since we took the whole week off between Christmas and New Years. Matt also had the day off but that was because he can't work when his finger is still healing. Oh well things happen. But my dad came over again today and worked on the basement for us doing more sanding and mudding on the drywall. I can't believe how much has gotten done this week.

Saturday

Today is New Years Eve, Matt and I do not have any big plans for tonight. We went to church in the evening, we got there a little bit early which was good because we didn't have an organist so I played the organ for service. Well my playing is not that good all I was able to do was play with my right hand and only the saprano parts. But we made it work.
When we got home we watched a little bit of TV and then went to bed. We definitely did not stay up till 12 am, kind of a boring night but we are totally ok with that.

Sunday

This morning we went to church for service and again we didn't have our usual organists, but Rachel came to my rescue and played for service. I was so relieved because I didn't know how to play 2 of the songs.
Later on we went over to John and Rachel's for dinner, it was delicious! John's parents were still in town visiting so we got to visit with them too which was also really nice.

Bumpdate

How far along? 27weeks and one day

How big is baby? The baby is about 14.5 inches long from head to toe and weighs about 2 pounds and will steadily be gaining weight.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am up2 pounds from last week so 16 pounds all together so far.


Maternity Clothes? Yes to both tops and bottoms, I did just go and buy some hoodies and a few more shirts (yay boxing week sales I saved over $100)

Symptoms? So far nothing has really been bugging me.

Food Cravings? Well I was at the store and I saw lemon meringue pie and had to buy it, I had a piece and now I don't really feel like eating anymore of it.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Nothing! Even if I did miss something it really wouldn't matter because I'm getting a baby at the end of the pregnancy.

Sleep? Sleep has still been good, I just don't really "sleep in" any more.

Movement? Still can feel her moving around she seems to be very active which is great! I do get a few love kicks through out the day that I can feel on the outside which is fantastic!

Stretch marks? Still just the 3 little ones, one on either side right on the very sides of me and one on my lower back (that one is weird, just never thought there would or could be a stretch mark there)

Belly button? Its really getting more shallow, I'm thinking I will get an outty sooner rather then later.

Milestones? Making it to 27 weeks, also we have gotten so much done on our basement over the Christmas break so we will hopefully be able to start on the nursery by February maybe?

Best moment of the week? Having Matt finally feel our baby girlie move!

What I am looking forward to? Working on the nursery.

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Thursday night Matt and I were on the couch watching tv, and Matt was lying on my lap. I was feeling baby move around a bit so I grabbed Matt's hand and put it on my belly. Not too long after our baby gave him a really good kick! He said "I felt that!" It was so cool to have him feel our baby. He said it felt like if you put your hand on your cheek and push your tongue against it really quick that is what it felt like.

Bumpdate

How far along?  26weeks

How big is baby? The baby is about 14 inches long from crown to heel and weighs a little more than 1.6 pounds and will steadily be gaining weight.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am up a pound from last week so 14 pounds all together so far.


Maternity Clothes? Yes to both bottoms and tops. I still can wear some of my normal shirts but some of them are just getting too short now. The crazy thing is my shirts before were longer shirts so will my expanding belly they just keep riding up.

Symptoms? Starting to get a sore back but its only if I have been on the computer too much (upper back) or if I have been running around too much then its my lower back. But I only notice the stiffness towards the end of the evening.

Food Cravings? It's so weird but I'm not really craving anything, there is nothing that I absolutely need right this second type of feeling, if I don't get something its no biggy.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Nothing! Even if I did miss something it really wouldn't matter because I'm getting a baby at the end of the pregnancy.

Sleep? Sleep has still been good. The wedge pillow has been great.

Movement? Still can feel her moving around she seems to be very active which is great! I think I had felt a kick from the outside.

Stretch marks? Still just the 3 little ones, one on either side right on the very sides of me and one on my lower back (that one is weird, just never thought there would or could be a stretch mark there)

Belly button? Its really getting more shallow, I'm thinking I will get an outty sooner rather then later.

Milestones? Making it to 26 weeks, can you believe it 6 and a half months that is crazy, time is flying so fast!

Best moment of the week? Feeling baby move from the outside.

What I am looking forward to? Having Matt be able to feel our baby too!

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  Well when I had felt the baby move from the outside Matt was just heading out the door on the phone. I had felt only 2 kicks from the outside or at least that I could tell. When Matt came in I told him what happened, he asked if she was still doing it but she wasn't. He said "this little girl is already starting trouble."

Renovation Wednesday

So we have gotten more done on the basement! Cement is done and the outside walls are all straight now and re insulated. I'm really hoping that over the Christmas break we can get a lot done in the basement. Maybe get the walls built for the rooms, wouldn't that be super exciting. Matt's older brother did say that he is going to bring some of his tools when he comes for Christmas so hopefully things will get done.
