Week 26-Lots of Kicks!

Well,...week 26 is here! This week you are the size of an Eggplant...a kicking Eggplant! This week, I have felt a lot more movements. You seem to want to move a lot at night, when Mommy is trying to rest! I love feeling it, but sometimes I just want to read quietly after I put your sister to bed! Your Daddy has felt a few of your little kicks, but he couldn't feel a lot with Reagan either, so I think he kind of gave up!

Some of my cravings have been watermelon and a lot of sweets! Last week, I made Puppy Chow for Reagan, and I ate almost the whole thing! Pretty amazing that I only gained one pound since my last doctors appointment a month ago, but we have been very busy since school got out! Plus Reagan keeps me very busy and active!  I have been trying to stay in shape and not over indulge. I try to take Molly for a long walk each day, in order to get some fitness time in!

Some other symptoms that I have had are a lot of stretching ligaments and heartburn. I have bought two whole bottles of Tums, but the doctor said I might want to lay off of those so I don't get kidney stones or something like that ! So I guess, maybe I need to chew some more gum to get everything digested properly.

This week, I wanted to let you know a little about your big sister Reagan. Right now, Reagan's favorite things are the Frozen Song (Let it Go), Strawberries, visiting the library, and not going to bed! So far, Reagan is such a good big sister to you. She will sometimes just go up to my belly and give you a little kiss. She always makes sure that when she or I have a blanket, that you have one to cover you too. Her big concern was where you were going to be sleeping at your Baba and Grandma's house, since she always sleeps in the pack and plays. I explained to her that she would have to sleep in the "big girl" beds at their house. We got it all straigtened out, so you will be ok! I think she is very excited for your arrival, but I think she might be disappointed that you don't come out "playing" right away! She will get use to it!

This week, it has been kind of rainy and we decided to go play in it!  We do a lot of silly things like this, so I hope you are listening carefully to prepare yourself!
