Weekly Update 26 Weeks!

How far along?: 26 weeks!

Total Weight Gain: 9 lbs.
How big is baby?: Sam is a whole 2 lbs this week!!! I can't believe it he's getting so big!
Best moment this week?: Well Sam is extremely active in the mornings now, I usually have to wake up for the bathroom at about 6 am, and once I do, there's no going back to sleep, it's such a strange feeling to watch my belly move around like crazy that way!
Food cravings?: Mostly cold, cold water, anything to rid me of this constant heartburn!
Belly button in or out?: Still in, I don't know if it will pop out or not.... looks like it's going to keep stretching till it dissapears, lol.
What I'm looking forward to: The next 3-D ultrasound, next Wednesday!!
Milestone: Sam is opening his eyes now!
Feelings this week?: This week has been uncomfortable. I know everyone tells me that this is only the beginning, but I can't get rid of this heartburn to save my life. My doctor told me at my last appointment that I could take Pepcid AC if it got too bad and I never had an issue until now, it's like breathing is giving me heartburn, and I'm going through tums like crazy. I had a full bottle at work and a full bottle at home before this week and they are both almost completely empty. Luckily tums is just extra calcium, and I don't like milk anyway so it's probably good that I'm getting the extra calcium. Still, I would like at least one heartburn-free day. I also tire extremely easily now. AJ and I walked around Lowe's for a little bit and we did a little yard work, (I admit I mostly watched.) by the end of it I was so tired I took a two hour nap. Despite all the exhaustion and being uncomfortable though, I love my little man more every day... And it seems like the third trimester is catching up to me fast, only two more weeks and I'll be in it, closer and closer to the day I get to meet my sweet Samuel.
