The Heat is On

The 3rd trimester is here ... and so is the heat. Good thing is we're going to the beach this weekend and it will actually be cooler there than at our house. Fortunately my front yard is shaded in the mornings so McKenzie can play, but my goodness it is HOT. Add a bun in the oven and its getting to be miserable. Thankfully I don't gain a lot of weight. Also we have a kiddie pool and I choose to look like White Trash while in there with Kenz. I mean 2 piece and belly hanging out and everything.

I went for my glucose test today. Man, that stuff is yucky! At first its ok but then the sweetness gets to you and YUCK. Hopefully everything will be good so I don't have to do it again. Reagan is doing well. Heartbeat is good and she's head down now (thanks to all those hand stands I did in the pool Sunday)! Here's the weekly post:

How far along? 27 weeks and 6 days (4 days in the picture)


Total weight gain: I'm going to start from 132 from now on. In that case 15lbs ... I'm up to 147



Stretch marks? No


Sleep: Ugggh. Reagan likes to wake up at 4am and do jumping jacks or whatever so I am awake until 5:30. McKenzie likes to get up around 7. Thankfully she naps during the day.
 Best moment this week: Swimming, and McKenzie being brave enough to swim by herself (and floaties)

 Miss Anything? No, but probably will miss something while we're at the beach this weekend ... like a margarita or oysters

Movement: At 4am a lot but not too much throughout the day. She's bigger for sure

 Food cravings: Milkshakes, chocolate chip cookies and cool whip 



Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Symptoms: I am HOT but other than that nothing really. Since she turned head down my hip doesn't hurt anymore either

 Wedding rings on or off? On, but I'll probably take them off after this weekend with all of this heat


Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

 Looking forward to: THE BEACH!!! Also, we're getting carpet installed next week in the girls rooms and then the 4th is Wednesday!

25 and 26

Again, I have been a slacker. In all fairness it has been a busy few weeks. I went on a Civil War tour of DC, Antietam, Harper's Ferry, Manassas, Richmond, and Appomattox Court House. All for free via my amazing grant I participate in! Once I got back we moved the guest room downstairs and painted Reagan's room. We're just waiting on carpet so we can start decorating her room!

Pointing to her name while at the American History Smithsonian. 25 weeks exactly.

 26 weeks and 1 day in Reagan's new pink room

How far along? Today 27 weeks, but I pan to take a picture soon so I can post on Thursday which is my next appointment

Total weight gain: 13 lbs. When I went to my last appointment last week she was a little concerned I haven't gained much weight. I think I look huge personally.  

Stretch marks? No 
Sleep: Its a little better. I have a pillow I sleep with but its still not the best sleep. 

Best moment this week: Painting Reagan's room. It makes me feel like she's actually coming
Miss Anything? No

Movement: She's starting to slow down a little bit. I guess she's getting big. She is breach at the moment so I'm trying to get her to turn. I know it doesn't matter too much because I'm having another C section but they still want her turned.
Food cravings: Lots of random things ~ Chillis, soft pretzels, ice cream, milkshakes, avacado and cream cheese sandwiches 

Anything making you queasy or sick: No 

Symptoms: Clumsyness - I even scraped my knee when I was in DC because I fell, I think some sciatica because its only on my right side lower back/hip area
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Carpet and the beach!!!!
