I started off this week with the dreaded glucose test which tests for gestational diabetes. I will be getting my results next Tuesday at my 26 weeks appointment!
What I look like this week:
What Rose looks like this week:
This week, according to BabyCenter Rose is the size of a rutabaga or over 13 1/2 inches long and weighs around 1 1/2lbs. She's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
After reading that Rose has hair, it makes me wonder what color it will be? Will her hair be dark brown like mine or lighter brown like Matt's, as well as Landon's and Oliver's? Maybe she will even be blonde like our youngest boy, Trent!
Weight gain: 104lbs. up 2lb-- a total of 10lbs this pregnancy. I'm shocked it wasn't more than 2lbs after how I ate this past week (more on that further down.)
Sleep: The usual waking up once a night to go to the bathroom as well as hands and knees falling asleep.
Eating: This week I ate pretty badly. I just craved junk and desserts and of course yesterday was my glucose test. I hope I passed because I really don't have time for the three hour one! Here are some pictures from this weeks bad (but so good!) eats:
On Father's Day we went to a new restaurant with my parents called Tuscarora Mill even though we had a bit of a wait (with having a reservation) it was made up for by the amazing food!
Movement: Yes! I love feeling her big kicks and watching them on the outside. Rose is a very active little girl! Every night Matt feels her kick and roll around too, which is so special.
What I'm loving: Feeling how Rose's movements have changed from taps to kicks to rolls. I love it so much!
Symptoms: Still having vivid dreams, strange body parts falling asleep, dry skin, heartburn and braxton hicks, randomly.
Exercise: Exercise continues to be on average, 2 or 3 mile walks about 5 days each week-- some days more miles, some days less.
What I'm looking forward to: Our baby shower is this weekend! I can't wait to celebrate our baby girl with our close friends and family.
Countdowns:
Days until our next appointment: 7 days
Days until we go to the beach: 11 days
Days until the third trimester: 21 days
Days until C-Section date: 99 days
Happy birthday Mom! We love you!
