26 Weeks Pregnant



I am 26 weeks pregnant today!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 26 weeks
Size of the baby: Baby Hardy is the size of an English hothouse cucumber (I have no clue what this is).
Total Weight Gain: 12.5 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing mostly maternity pants and tops.
Gender: It's a boy-Parker Von Hardy.
Movement: I am definitely feeling the baby move a lot now, especially at night. He is an active little boy like his brother was!
Sleep: I am sleeping good since I am always exhausted at night.
Symptoms: This week I have had an abundance of energy and am no longer needing naps. I am definitely in the nesting phase and want everything washed and organized for Parker.
What I Miss: Nothing that I can think of.
What I Crave: Mexican food and any kind of sweets

Unfortunately when I went to the doctor this week for my blood glucose test, I did not pass. I was supposed to have a level of 140 or less and mine was 163. I did not fast before the test, which could have skewed the results. On top of not passing the test, I also passed out at the news that I failed and would possibly have to prick my finger several times a day to check my levels. I am scheduled to go back next week for a three hour test to see if I actually have gestational diabetes. I am praying that I pass the test and do not have to endure finger pricks multiple times a day.
