26 weeks & I am huge! At least I sure do feel like it. At first I was staying pretty little, but I have popped. I am starting to be hungry all the time and just gain away! Along with my belly I have some pretty cute love handles too... not my favorite, but what can you do. Luckily I don't have any stretch marks so I am crossing my fingers I make it through this pregnancy without any.
The emotional train has hit me in the face! I feel like I'm soo sensitive about anything and everything. I had a little sewing machine accident involving my finger and I just broke down and bawled. Also the weirdest thing happened. We were at Kohls getting Austin some jeans and I picked up the wrong style & lets just say they were skinny jeans. When he tried them on I was laughing so hard I was crying that I actually started to cry? Uh what the heck?! Who knows, but I blame it on the fact that I couldn't breathe. Oh well!
I have yet to pass this kidney stone (or stones) I have days where I'm fine, but other days I am in so much pain and have to take a pain pill which has so many side affects towards my body that I really hate taking them. My body has just been all sorts of messed up- it's been really sucky. If I sleep on my back (by accident) I wake up in SOO much pain due to kidney stones & baby pressure. I am starting to just get miserable & sometimes I just want to cry. However, there are also days (most days) I want to cry because I'm so happy! I LOVE my baby boy so much and the reality that he will be here soon in my arms makes me so emotional in a great way. Although I have been super uncomfortable lately, I am so happy & so lucky.
We have also been working on Cohens nursery! I have been SEWING (yes I taught myself to sew) his bumper pads. They will be done soon and then I will make his blankie. I'm so proud of myself for teaching myself how to sew & the bumper hasn't been easy, but is turning out so cute. Austin painted his room green- it is really bright, but so cute! It's perfect for his Dr. Seuss theme. We also found a dresser at a consignment furniture store & Austin painted it & I found the cutest knobs on ETSY that are "OH the places you'll go" It turned out perfect. I will post pictures of his room once it's more complete, which will be soon! I am finding some cute ideas on pinterest & I really want him to have a book or reading wall so that is my next project. We put blue curtains up to match the dresser & they are perfect. I just need to find a changing table & a rocker & then some Dr. Seuss details to complete the room & fill up the walls.
Oh we also had to go to L&D again. I woke up at 1am in TERRIBLE pain & tried to sleep/get the pain to go away until 6am when I finally took a shower which made it so much worse. I felt so bad because I woke Austin up a lot in the night because I was hurting so bad. When I got out of the shower he got up & got ready to take me to the hospital! I could barely walk at that point and was worried the pain was causing Cohen stress. They kept us there for about 5 hours & monitered Cohen the whole time- he was just perfect of course. They did an ultrasound of my kidneys and confirmed I had multiple in my kidneys and my left kidney was enflamed with a few stones on the move. So aweful, but I'm just glad Cohen is such a trooper. Hopefully we won't be back at L&D until the end of April! :)
