*26 Weeks*

Finally caught up! Phew! Here is the most recent pic, and I am officially 26 weeks today!! This week has been an interesting one. I feel like Krew is sprouting faster than I can keep up with, but that's ok. I married a Carter. There is no way I'm having a small one. ;) I officially feel him kick me in the ribs now. It makes me laugh everytime too. The first time I felt him that high I was at work assisting the dentist and Krew kicked me so hard I jerked! I don't think anyone noticed, but I had to laugh inside. It was so unexpected and such a new feeling it made my day. Other highlights this week...I got to lay out! YEP, full on prego sporting a bikini. Now I did feel like a whale and I was hoping people weren't saying to themselves "that chick should NOT be wearing that" BUT, this "chick" didn't care. I needed some UV rays and the warmth of the sunshine hitting my whole body was much needed! It felt so good. I paid for it later though. No sunshine for 6 months, you get a tad on the pink side. ;) I wasn't complaining though!

How Far Along: 26 Weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 12 lbs...so glad I'm still on the low end of the gaining..cause I'm sure that's gonna change real quick!   
Maternity Clothes: Mostly hanging out in my yoga pants. Still sporting the belly band and tanktops under the shirts.
Stretch Marks: Nope! Not yet...hoping I don't get them!
Best Moment this week: Laying Out in some SUN
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach...still miss this..it's hard only sleeping on your sides. That gets old, trust me!   
Movement? Yes! I still think Krew is having wrestling matches in there!
Food Cravings: Same as last week! Anything Cold, Juicy, and icy!! Pina Coladas, Oranges, Watermelon, Pineapple, Peaches! YUM, I think my tummy just rumbled...wait, maybe that was Krew???
Anything make you queasy or sick? The smell of cooking eggs or chicken. YUCK!
Have you started to show yet? Do we really need to ask this question anymore? YES! ;)
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: None yet! A few Braxton Hicks but nothing major
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy....and tired
Looking forward to:  Easter weekend with my fam!

*25 Weeks*

Well, I really really wasn't excited about this picture at all, but it's only right to continue to document the journey to mommy-hood so that one day I can look back and laugh. I'm a little behind on the blog since we have been going, going, going lately BUT the good news is...the nursery is textured, closet done and the whole room is primed and ready for paint! YAY!! This week was the week of my doctor appointment and everything looks great so far. "Little" Krew must be growing like a weed cause my stomach is measuring a centimeter more than I am in weeks, and my belly shows it! He is around 13 inches long this week, and his heartbeat is 140 bpm. Just perfect. :)

How Far Along: 25 Weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 12lbs! I'm so happy I'm on the lower end of weight gain, YAY!
Maternity Clothes: Nope..I've bought a few incase I need some comfort, but I mostly stick to my yoga pants and scrubs. Sexy, I know. ;)
Stretch Marks: Nope! Not yet!
Best Moment this week: My doctor appointment and hearing the little heartbeat.
Miss Anything? Laying on my stomach!  
Movement? Yes! He likes to hang out on my right side. My belly looks oblong, not round, most of the time. :)
Food Cravings: Anything cold and icy (pina colada perhaps?) or cold juicy fruit! Oranges, watermelon, pineapple, peaches..COLD and JUICY! You get the idea!
Anything make you queasy or sick? Nope
Have you started to show yet? Yes! More and more every day!
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: None yet!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.
