Week 26!

I really can't believe week 26 is over already!  We are cruising right along.  I feel great and I am enjoying this part of being pregnant.  I love feeling Adalyn moving around so much!  We had a great Thanksgiving with lots of food!  I still have some serious heartburn, but Tums is helping.  I am starting to feel huge.  It is amazing how much my belly has grown recently!  

How far along?: 26 weeks

Stretch marks?: No!

Sleep:   Getting better at sleeping on my side.  I still have to get up once or twice to pee.  Had some of those crazy pregnancy dreams again.

Week 25

Week 25 is over already! Seems like time is flying.  We missed our week 24 update, because we were traveling to visit my grandparents in West Virginia.  We had a great visit.  My grandmother got us an amazing pink Coach diaper bag and also got Adalyn her first pair of shoes, baby Sperrys!!  I love baby shoes!  This week has been great!  Adalyn has been very active this week.  Previously, she just had little active spurts, but this week she has been busy all day and some at night.  She actually woke me up for the first time this week.  I love feeling her move.  It is comforting to feel her.  The heartburn has been horrible this week!  Thank goodness for Tums.  We are still finishing up the nursery.  We just need to paint the baseboards so we can set up the furniture!
