26 Weeks

Looking and feeling rather large and I had to hide my face this week ;)

HOW FAR ALONG?: 26 weeks 

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?:  I don't feel like punishing myself like that ;) This has been a good pregnancy though, I've gotten to eat a bunch at Thanksgiving/Christmas, candy at Valentine's Day and now Easter! In addition to multiple celebrations like Veda's, Brett's and my birthday and our anniversary ;)

MATERNITY CLOTHES: Yes, always.  I'm contemplating a maternity swimsuit.  It's already been a warmer year than normal.   

SLEEP?:  I would all the time if I were given that privilege.   

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?: Well this is a best and worst wrapped in one.  A few weeks ago, our heating element went out in our dryer.  It was replaced.  Shortly thereafter, whenever we would run the dryer we would smell something foul.  It was indescribable.  We called our landlord and they came to recheck the dryer - said nothing was wrong.  This smell was so weird/bad, we even went down to the neighbors to see if anything was going on beneath us.  It didn't smell like something we should be breathing in.  So time goes by, it continues.  We call again.  They come check again, it's not the dryer.  While the repair guy was here though, they definitely smelled whatever it was so it confirmed that I'm not crazy.  Then Brett and the guy saw smoke coming from our light fixture in the hall and determined it was that.  We called the landlord again and someone else was going to come check it out.  They came today and it wasn't the dryer, it wasn't the light fixture but it was in fact our circuit breakers MELTING! So we've been inhaling melting plastic for the last few weeks.  Super awesome.  BUT at least we have it figured out and we didn't go up in flames.  Super scary thought and Brett is very not happy. 

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: Crappy days at work.  I'm over it.  There is no way that all hospitals function like ours.  Oh and I can't take a class I've really been wanting to take because I have to go to jury duty next Friday.  BLEH!

MISS ANYTHING?:  Being able to easily lift my child. 

MOVEMENT?: Still lots!

FOOD CRAVINGS?: Nope, I really need to schedule my blood glucose screen though. 

LABOR SIGNS?: No, thankfully.  It's too soon!

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?: Still everything I've mentioned before and that pain on my right side is no joke.  I can't even walk a block before it hurts and I have to slooooow down or stop.  

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: In, but getting real big and nearly flat.

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...? My mom is coming next week!  Hooray!  I'm super bummed I have to work this weekend and miss all of the Easter festivities.
