Ok so I haven’t been the best at keeping up with my blog but let me tell you, the days are crazy busy and by the night time, I’m totally beat. We just returned from our annual Aspen ski trip which of course was wonderful as always. This year was a bit strange for me because i didn’t wake up and put on my ski clothes before eating breakfast like usual. Infact, I didn’t put on any ski clothes and that was tough. The weather there was insanely nice for the entire week. At some points we weren’t even wearing jackets to walk around town because it as so warm. Its funny because as soon as we left, NJ got hit with a massive snow and Aspen got warm and sunny. Then when we tried to leave Aspen, they got hit with snow and NJ warmed up and melted all the snow here. The weather and the economy are both getting pretty darn wacky!
So this week is my 26th week of pregnancy and its getting a bit more uncomfortable. My baby used to be much lower but as he grows, he’s about 2lbs this week, he’s pushing up higher and its making me feel a bit cramped. Sleeping is getting harder too. I have a wonderful pregnancy pillow called a Snoggle to help me because I’m a belly sleeper and that isn’t happening now. I got heartburn, which I never had in my life, and that hasn’t been fun, not to mention the horrible gas pains that shoot up my back like I’m being stabbed. Oh the joys of this beautiful time…
So tomorrow we get to see our baby boy on ultrasound again. I can’t wait. Its to the point that on the 3D ultrasound we can probably see what his face looks like. I can’t wait!!! We still don’t have a name picked out. I know names I like but my husband won’t commit to anything quite yet. I keep giving him the baby name book to pick names he likes but it collects more dust then gets read. Oh well…. the baby will have to get a name so if he doesn’t crack the book soon, looks like we’ll have to go with the name I like. At least he can never say I didn’t give him a chance to pick one since we’ve known we were pregnant since week 5 
Some good news is that my appetite isn’t as big as it used to be so hopefully I can get this weight gain under some control. I’m seriously feeling like a MOOSE. I had to buy bigger pants, which was sooo depressing. My body loves to store fat in my butt and thighs. I know it will come off, because I will MAKE it all come off, after the baby is here but its still tough dealing with it now. I have never been this big in my life… even at my all time biggest. At least this time, I get to lose the weight AND have a beautiful baby boy to love all up!! It will definitely make for some GREAT before and after shots!
Well, I’ll post some pictures soon. I should be taking a 26 week belly shot. He’s growing leaps and bounds now and packing on his baby fat so each week my belly will be getting much bigger… and he’ll be packing some tougher punches.
