How many weeks? I am 26 weeks!
How am I feeling? I’m getting some Braxton Hicks here and there, and more often at night when my belly is tired, but that’s hardly anything to complain about. Aside from that, I’m still feeling great! Bring it on third trimester!
Doctor’s Appointment? Not this week.
Weight Gain? 15 pounds. I’m not doing anything different, I’m just gaining weight! I’m not being strict with my diet right now. I figure, this is the only time that I will give myself some leeway with what I eat, so I’m going to enjoy it. Before I know it, I will be back to my Lose It and C25k programs. My other theory is – I don’t know how long I will be given the opportunity to carry Taylor, so in the meantime, I want her to thrive and gain as much (healthy) weight as possible while she’s in utero. She’s already 2 pounds and every little ounce counts!
Baby Preparation? My Dad and Josh painted the nursery this past weekend! It’s so fun to get the nursery design underway! Josh added some additional racks to her closet for more storage and hanging space also.
Taylor’s room to date (still lots to do)…
Look at this cute little sleeper; I just love it! I’m totally getting one. I
can’t wait to see Taylor in it! Found on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Sozo-Sweet-Pea-Bunting-Cap/dp/B004GV4S1G
Ever wonder what your baby will look like? I did, until I tried out this silly website that combines a picture of Mom and Dad to create a picture of your baby. I don’t think this is very accurate…
Oh Lauren that pic is too funny, I think I'll just wait till the delivery room to find out. That just doesn't even look like a newborn......but it made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteLove how her room is coming along! Love the paint color too!

Hi Lauren, You have such an inspiring story. My husband and I recently lost our identical twin sons, Easton and Parker November 20, 2010. Our lives were shattered. I went into premature labor at 20 weeks and we lost our babies instantly. I can't imagine the pain you must feel. Your babies were beautiful and I know they have a great life with Jesus. They now have two new friends Easton and Parker. You are such an inspiration and your blog speaks volumes about what a strong person you are. I have recently started blogging after my friends and family thought it would be good therapy, it has seemed to help being able to share our story. Best of luck with your pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI love the shade of gray you used. Can you email me the name of the color, brand, and where you bought the paint? Thanks so much!
