26 wks!

I was looking at my blog and realized I haven't done an update in a long time about how I have been feeling lately! This pregnancy has been a challenge to say the least but it has taught  me so much so far about myself. I can finally say i am holding down some food!!! This is HUGE. I still always feel terrible after I eat which I have gotten more used to but if i eat what sounds good to me right then then sometimes i even get to keep it. This has provided me with some much needed excitement and much needed energy! To keep myself sane I try and leave the house at least once a day just to get milk or walk Walmart or visit with my sister which I find has helped me so much in keep positive and staying out of the low points. Don't get me wrong I definitely have low days which I think is normal for all people but I find if i get out and try and accomplish something or sit in front of my sewing machine for a while the world gets a little clearer and three and a bit months doesn't seem so bad anymore!
          The new things that are happening in wk 26 are swollen  feet and ankles which are hilarious to me especially when I keep my shoes on too long and when I take them off it leaves a perfect indent. This week I also have to take my glucose test which does not sound fun to me because liquids still are not my friend! I cannot wait till I can drink as much water as I want and as much of anything as I want without puking five minutes later!
        This past week we got to have an ultrasound which is always super fun! On our first ultrasound our dr was worried because she was measuring 2 and a half to 3 weeks small which he was expecting her to be small but not quite that small and she had some shadows on her heart which he said he wanted to watch as well but that it shows up in a lot of early ultrasounds so not to get too worried about it which of course I still did but knew it would all be fine. After this ultrasound she is still measuring about a week smaller but he said hes really happy with her growth and that her heart looked great! So that was so comforting. Our tech for this ultrasound was AMAZING especially compared to our first one who barely spoke and didn't really want to be there it seemed! The one we had this time took like 15 minutes just showing us everything and showing us from all different angles her feet and arms and legs and head it was awesome. She seems to be genuinely excited for us and that made me feel so much more at ease and felt I could ask her questions. She said she wasn't able to answer most of the more medical ones but if i wanted to see something again she was all over it! My Dr. Was also super happy with my weight gain at that time i was 7 pounds over where I started so I have gained all my weight back and more! He still keeps telling my high calorie choices so I keep doing that but lately I have been only craving starburst and fruit of every kind! I'll just keep getting fatter till he tells me otherwise I guess. I Definitely look pregnant now even the ladies at the groceries store asked me when I was due!
         I'm finding with this new energy I am finally able to really get excited! I've starting sewing diaper covers,  headbands, blankets and anything else I can find a tutorial for on pinterest. I cant believe that in a few short months we will have a baby girl to call our own! I keep opening the bin of 0-3 month clothes and just looking through them amazed that she will actually be that small that all of these teeny tiny clothes will fit! unless we have a baby the size that jason was which was like 10 pounds!
          Well thats all the update for now! keep on keeping on everyone and keep positive it can always be worse!
