TWENTY-SIX WEEKS BABY!!! Woohoo. You are now the size of an eggplant
🍆 or kale. Mommy feels you move around in her tummy every day and gets worried when you're resting - since you're usually so active. I joked to daddy that you were having a party in there this morning - either celebrating mommy's birthday or throwing a fit - because you were a little squirmy worm!!! Daddy and I just laid in bed this morning and enjoyed feeling you move around. I'm surprised his cheeks don't hurt from smiling so much. You are the love of his life... his everything. 
😍The big update this week is that mommy doesn't have gestational diabetes!!! Whew - what a huge relief. I had to take the test during my last appointment - and since it was unexpected (they didn't tell me until 5 minutes into the appointment), I didn't fast or anything. In was pleasantly surprised when they called me this week to let me know that everything was great. Sooooooooo happy!
This week I have been really stressed out about my weight. I didn't think it would be this difficult to get used to & feel comfortable with my changing body - especially after wanting & trying to get pregnant for so many years. At 6.5 months I've gained almost 20 lbs and I feel like a whale. Daddy reassures me that I obviously look pregnant & have only gained weight on my belly (and boobs) - but I can't help but look at myself and feel so ugly and FAT. I need to remind myself every day that this is only temporary and I will go back to my old self - or better yet, drop all the weight AND more!
As my belly gets bigger, it is definitely getting harder and harder for me to paint my own toenails. Daddy treated me to a nice relaxing pedicure this morning for my birthday and it was amaaaaaazing!
Grandma and grandpa should be back from Korea in a week or so - just in time for the baby shower! Mommy and daddy are so excited to see everyone at the baby shower, and can't wait to celebrate... YOU!
💗*A* -- Daddy and I are counting down the weeks until we can finally meet you. We love you so much. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives. Our hearts are so full.
