Alright baby you are now 26 weeks and 1 day growing. If for some horrible reason you came out in the next two weeks you might be able to make it to live. Or not. so you better stay in there. You seem pretty comfy to me. You have been finding new positions to lounge in. Like head down towards my left hip and feet up near my lungs and ribs. Right now you are kicking and I'm watching my tummy move. Sometimes you don't kick...you just stretch and PUSH for a long time. A few nights ago I could feel pushing near my ribs and when you dad felt it he has no problem recognizing that was your food pushing. You feel very very strong for something that only weighs two pounds (although you probably are more than that knowing how much you weighed at the ultrasound a few weeks ago)
Sometimes, especially at night you give me horrible heartburn. hence burn baby burn. you also make it impossible to go poo unless I have some milk each day...something I have not been able to stomach my entire life. I like to have some thai ice tea with milk. I don't think all the tums for the heartburn are helping with the pooping issues. Oh well...more fiber I guess. It's been hot(ish) in the 80's and I seem to be really sensitive to the heat this summer. By 5pm when it's 84 in the house I feel miserable and don't want to eat. I still haven't gained much weight but my tummy is measuring at 25 when I saw the midwife last week and that is right now track. You have just sucked the fat from the rest of my body...can't really complain their although I worry my hips are getting skinnier than wider...how will I carry you around?
Speaking of Dr.'s we are no longer with our first Dr. I didn't like the people at her office and they always seemed disorganized and she looked annoyed when I got nervous about giving birth to you. We are now going to a group of midwives. We meet the first one and liked her a lot better and she was much more encouraging and said she thinks we will do great when the time comes. One of the midwives will stay with us most of the time so while your dad is passed out from fear and blood we will still have a cheer leading team.
I am going to sign you, me and your dad up for baby classes. a series of classes on childbirth, you better pay attention during that one, one on infant care...we know how to take care of doggies but not babies and one on breastfeeding. Once again you better pay attention so you can do your part. I should be going to yoga or water aerobics but I'm lazy, its hot and my car is not air conditioned.
We have a few weeks till school starts again and we won't see the kids for a while still but i'm trying to think of all my lesson plans and get them ready so we won't have to spend a ton of time at school and everything will be ok for the 12 weeks I am home with you. Allie had a job interview and if she gets the job she won't be able to sub for us so I think we need to email sparrow also as a backup. I hope I can get into my classroom soon before you make me much bigger so that I can put up things and set stuff up.
Keep growin baby. there is a pumpkin in the garden that is trying to outgrow you...you should both be ready about the same time!
