Week 26

                  This post will not be like the others. Mostly because, I missed Tuesday, the day I was actually 26 weeks and I've just been so busy. You know those "days" that just aren't quite right. Something small happens and then that just makes the whole day seem terrible. Or something big happens, and that REALLY gets the day going? Well, I have just had the worst MONTH. Between hormones, and stress, and family issues, and stress, and being worried, and the car breaking down, and starting my online courses, I have not even had time to just SIT and be quiet and calm with my thoughts. Granted, when I pray, I do feel a calmness, and I can close my eyes and just listen to the nothingness. But then my mind is back at it again. I have one of those brains that like to daydream. A lot. My mind wanders and that can be a GREAT thing to my creative side, but lets be honest, NOT so great to the side that just wants to be stress free. I guess it's the moments when Hadley is kicking up in my ribs, or just kicking, that makes me smile the most. I still have to pinch myself and remind myself that I AM growing a little human in there. I can't wait to meet my daughter. I can't wait to watch her grow. I can't wait to kiss those adorable little toes, and one day have them in my lap as I paint them. I just can't wait to be the best mom I can possibly be to her. I am so nervous, and worried and crazed about being a real live MOM. But I can't wait. I already am just so in love with her. Momma is already just so in love with you baby girl! Only 14 more weeks! Can you believe it?!?! I can't. But it's happening! So fast! And I am so excited. I'm so glad I have the support of God, and my family to help me along this month. Because I have had some good days, and I owe it to my little yet amazing support group! Prayers to and from all!

Week 25


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 25

How big is the baby:  She is the size of a small cauliflower! About 9in and 1.7lbs.

Weight Gain/Loss:  I have gained about 7 pounds so far.

Cravings:  Food. All food.

Food Aversions:  Still beef. That stuff is so nasty! 

People's Comments:  The most common is "You are so small for being 6 months! There is no way!" And then "You really are glowing! That is real!?"-This one has actually been said to me twice by Tony's friends. It is both sweet and kinda weird. 

General Mood:  So happy! I've been pretty stressed out for a couple of weeks but it doesn't take away from the pure happiness I feel when I think of my little angel growing in my belly.

Fears:  That my baby won't be perfect. I would obviously still love her no matter what. But I'm selfish and I want her to be perfectly healthy!

Things I was surprised by:  How hard she has been able to kick me. Sometimes it really does hurt! And she isn't even as big as she is gonna get!!

Things I am most looking forward to:  Seeing her little feet. The more she kicks me, the more I can't wait to kiss her little toes. I'm obsessed! 

What I think is Cool/Crazy so far:  Just how big I can see her getting. I can feel the hardness in my stomach and it's just so awesome! 

Stretch Marks:  Yes. All over my hips and thighs. But they don't seem to be bigger! 

Maternity Clothes:  I KNOW I should get some. But the rubber band on the button is working just fine. And my tights that look like jeans. Plus they are soft. Or I just wear a dress. 

Showing:  Yes. I am! It's exciting. My stomach is all hard and pushing itself out there!! 

Movement:  Yes! She is kicking and rolling. It's so fun! 

Gender:  She is still a girl!! I hope!

Innie or Outie:  Okay, so, weird, it's still an innie, but it looks weird!!! It's all starting to push out!!
