Belly Update: 26 weeks




Hi All!

Sorry it's been awhile since I last updated the blog. I guess the good news is is that I haven't really had anything to report...no bad news :) Well, a quick update: I have been growing out at a very rapid pace! I have only gained 11 pounds, but I feel like it is much more! My belly is getting huge. You can see how quickly it grew from 21 weeks (bottom photo) to 26 weeks (middle photo)! I grow a little more every day. Today I went to the doctor's office for my Glucose screening. All I could think was, "Please don't let me have gestational diabetes...I like to eat too much!" Thankfully after some blood was drawn, I drank some yucky liquid, waited for an hour, and then had my finger pocked, I heard the good news: My numbers were just fine and I was free to go...no gestational diabetes! Yay!

I can't believe we only have 14 more weeks to go. The pregnancy has flown by for me! Baby G kicks a lot more and a lot stronger now. Poor Luke, without fail, whenever he tries to feel baby kick, baby stops kicking. Sometimes this is really helpful for me, such as when I want to sleep but Baby wants to squirm...just have daddy put his hand on belly and aaahhhh...relief :) Speaking of daddy, notice in the new ultrasound pick the size of those cankles the boy is going to have! He gets those from daddy! Ha!

Well, so far this has been one amazing, bumpy roller coaster ride. Excited to meet the little boy relatively soon! Can't wait for y'all to meet him either :)
