Boy oh boy, has it been a month since I've posted on here? Say it ain't so, but it's so. Started my 26th week today. Baby is compared to a head of lettuce according to one email update I received. I have a hard time imagining a whole head of lettuce in my belly. They also say she will weigh between 1.5 and 2 lbs by the end of the week. It's amazing how quickly this little peanut has turned into a jumbo jar of peanut butter :)
Here's my plan for helping baby Lucie reach the 2 lb mark: gummies! I am loving anything (and everything) gummy. We went through a whole package of gummy worms last week in two days- yikes! I can't take full responsibility because daddy had a few himself but, I will admit to consuming the majority.
Feeling really good still. Sometimes I even forget I am pregnant. I am quickly reminded though when I need to chase something out of the mouth of Archie, or catch up to James if we are running late for a movie. It's like my body is kinda turning into a gummy- everything just moves a little slower than normal and it's definitely getting to a very squidgy stage too.
I went for my 25 week appointment and I measured 26 cm. Technically speaking that means I am measuring a week ahead, however, as my doctor quickly pointed out it's very early for that to even mean anything. They also handed over the orange glucose drink- those who are reading this as mommies probably remember this particular beverage. It was compared to orange Hi-C so I'm not so sure what's so terrible about that? I think the difficult part is that I have to chug the stuff in five minutes. That happens in two weeks and then (insert drum roll here....) I start seeing the doctor every two weeks!
Sorry for my extended absence. I promise I will be better!
