I was all set to talk about how blissful things are in Week 26. No tiredness, back pain has subsided, and I'm feeling Babylove #2 moving all the time - nice sweet little movements. As I was sitting down to write my post I had to go to the bathroom, OK - so I go, come back sit down, get all comfy and ready to write again. Open my browse and well, I gotta go again. Ya'll this went on four times within an hour (my lunch break) Needless to say the post did not get written and my puppies and rainbows state of mind was dashed. However, my puppies and rainbows state of mind is back. :) I suffered from major back pain for the past two month. I know it's BabyLove #2 tap dancing on my last sciatic nerve. It's nice to have that pain gone for however long it's going to stay gone. I'm thankful for what I can get. I don't feel quite as fat as I've been feeling, I feel nicely pregnant. :) Babylove #2 is also moving ... a lot. It's nice movement, no feet in the ribs or any of that nonsense. With EM, I didn't get to feel much movement, so I'm thankful for the little tap dance routines that I get this time around.
EM is so full of questions these days. He has never been a quiet child even before he could talk, he was chatterbox. LOL. But now it seems nonstop. And I know it's going to continue and get more intense once he starts big boy school in September. I have no talk zones (like in the car during "rush hour", but sometimes the questions just kind of bubble up out of him, like he can't help it. Bless his little heart. I've got some much needed help around here particularly with this fella. I am so thankful for family that is stepping up to help out. Seriously, you are saving my sanity. Thank you!
EM is really into dessert these days. He wants dessert after every meal. :) The good news is that we've gotten him agreeable to dessert only at dinner time. The even better news is that dessert doesn't have to be sweet. Tonight, dessert was chicken (dinner was chicken, too.) LOL
Here's what Babycenter.com says is going on this week in the belly:
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take two to three days.
Finally some quiet time. :)
Aww soo awesome. Enjoy the chitter chatter =) When I was into the whole dessert thing my mom made fruit dessert. My life's obsession lol
