26 weeks
- How far along?: 26 weeks, 3 days
- Baby is the size of a: I think a head of lettuce
- Total weight gain/loss: +15
- The Bump: Well it's no question anymore..everyone in public randomly asks "When are you due?" or "What are you having?" ..it still catches me off guard though and sometimes I have to pause for a moment before answering while thinking, "huh?" And then there's the whole everyone touching my belly thing, associated with "Oh, I hope you don't mind that I just touched your belly!" And to be honest, I usually don't even realize that someone is touching my belly until they say that! So, touch away I reckon!
- Symptoms: Just some weird aches and pains. I'm assuming she kicks my bladder a lot when I'm sitting because it's a strange feeling unlike the normal jabs here and there. Also woke up with a Charlie horse a few weeks ago..no fun!
- Food Cravings: I don't think anything this week! But I could be wrong..?
- Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Don't think so!
- Sleep: Still waking up really early, staying up for a few hours, then falling back asleep. It gets old..and boring!
- What I miss: Being able to exert myself just a little without having my heart rate go crazyyy..it's tiring.
- Weddings Rings On or Off: On
- Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes, actually, this came very easy for us contrary to what everyone told us about picking out names...but you'll just have to wait ;)
- Gender: Baby Barr is a girl! :)
- Movement: Lots. She'll go from bouncing around at the top of my belly, to all of a sudden little trickles down low. Daddy can feel all her subtle movements, not just the kicks and punches, which is pretty cool to both of us ;)
- Maternity Clothes: Probably half and half. I sure do love the belly band I got from my sister...makes things look/feel a lot better! So yes, I'd recommend one!
- Labor Signs: N/A
- Best Moment of the Week: We started our baby registry today at Target! And Amazon. Being that we live in what I like to call the middle of nowhere, there is no Babies R Us for at least 50 miles surrounding us, and therefore, we get to miss out on that lil experience. Worst part about it - we were bummed that Target doesn't have 'stork parking' like Babies R Us haha. Lazy much?
- What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Little projects here and there for baby girl's room!

Just a few of the projects I've started for Baby B's room...
A rocking chair given to us by J's parents---
I first primed it, then added the wooden appliques, then painted and added a chair cushion. :)
Tada...
I checked out Goodwill and bought a raggedy, dusty ol' lamp for a whopping $7. Primed/spray painted the base and added ruffle trim to the lampshade :)
And there are more, but perhaps you'll have to wait until I get more stuff completed!

Tonight, we ventured into Macon, Ga. Not too much excitement going on there. But we did eat at a sweet lil pizza place, and came home to hang with the dog. He sure does love his new backyard!
More soooon ;)
