26 weeks

Baby girl is now up to 2lbs and over a foot long.  Her eyelids are starting to open although there isn't too much to see in there. She is more and more active each week and I would love to get a sneak peak at her and how much she has grown but we don't have another ultrasound scheduled until August 12th.


I have been sleeping SO much better this week because the weather has cooled down....our new AC unit will be installed today and we are so thankful because the temps are climbing back into the 90's very soon!  It was hot earlier this week when we got home from work....so we hung out at the neighbors all night. We are so lucky to have great friends!

I was able to get a little more painting done on Sunday morning before the heat of the day. I am loving the color and I am determined to finish the last two walls this weekend!

We attended a wedding  last weekend and remembered to snap a picture of ourselves all fancied up!

The next day Carli had a bday party to attend and we both crashed afterwards. Nick caught that on camera too!

I had my 26 week appointment yesterday. This is the fun one where I get to chug a super sugary drink and then have my blood drawn. The check-up went great! Strong heartbeat at 150bpm and growth is right on track. According to my doctors scale, I am up 10lbs...so we are going to go with that instead of the 14lbs that our broken, sometimes working....sometimes not...scale at home is telling me. My blood work came back with low levels of hemoglobin and RBC count. I am guessing they are going to put me on a iron supplement. From what I understand, anemia in pregnancy is pretty common since you have such a large amount of blood volume in your body. The iron just doesn't produce at that same rate.

Yum!! (yuck)
