It is hard to believe but I am already 26 weeks along, we have less than 100 days until we get to meet our little guy. Although we are super excited I think we are both starting to get a little stressed because we have absolutely nothing for a baby and haven’t even started on a nursery. Wade and I both have completely crazy schedules and if anyone were to spend a day with us they would probably not think we were expecting a child. Our neighbors (really close friends) are starting to even get stressed for us and are offering to do the baby registry and nursery for us. I feel terrible that we have not done more but I am hoping with it now being summer we will be able to spend all our time getting ready for our little boy.
Even though we haven’t met the little guy yet, I feel like he’s already got a personality. He loves keeping his mom up in the middle of the night by kicking like crazy, but sleeps all day long while I am at work. He gets the hiccups A LOT, and I just feel so sorry for him although it does make me smile. If there is one thing I know about this boy it is how much he loves his daddy! It does not matter what time of day it is if Wade is around the little guy knows it for sure. The sound of his voice makes the little guy wiggle around like crazy. And without fail whenever he wants to feel the baby move he can put his hand on my belly and the baby will kick him (he usually wont kick for other people)! If Wade is even touching my belly a little bit while we are cuddling the baby will just kick and kick an keep moving until he is in a position where he stays touching his daddy. (Which could be why he keeps me up all night) I just know he is going to be a daddy’s boy and while that makes me sad, I am also reassured because I know what a great daddy Wade is going to be! I am also a little worried that this baby wont be a cuddlier. He definitely likes his space… for example when I read a magazine I can’t place it on my belly because it makes him mad. He will kick anywhere the magazine is placed. Also when I am at work if I scoot in too close to the desk he makes sure he kicks at it until I move away. And last week when were at our doctors appointment he wouldn’t let the doctor listen to his heart, he just kept moving around like crazy!
I never realized how much fun it would be being pregnant, but also how much it changes everything. I have gained a total of 14 lbs at this point and have realized that everyday tasks are starting to seem impossible. I luckily have an amazing husband who is so patient and understanding. He is so good to cook, clean, entertain and still work his long hours during all of this. He’s been so sweet and makes sure that I am feeling good and beautiful every single day. I realize that this would be impossible without him! I will post more pregnancy pictures soon.
