26 Weeks 6 Days
How am I feeling? Goodness, this week felt like a transition. I noticed being less comfortable when I am moving around, and I noticed it takes just a little more effort to get up from sitting or lying down. The emotional roller coaster continues, and for that I'm so thankful for Aaron! I heard Christmas music in the mall (Happy Christmas/War is Over) and I started to tear up because it made me sad. WHAT?! I do dislike this particular song, but even hearing it made me tear up. I am so excited for the Christmas season to begin, though... I am anticipating tearing up at every sentimental Christmas commercial displayed.
Movement: Baby guy has been going crazy this week. I have noticed a lot more hits/kicks/elbows/knees, and some that have even been strong enough for me to think "hey!" or to take me by surprise. As an aside- how do you know which appendage, exactly, is hitting you? I have heard a lot of mamas say they could feel their baby's elbow or knee or foot, etc. How can you tell? It all feels the same for me.
Cravings: I noticed a big decrease in milk and fruit cravings this week, unless you count ice cream. Aaron and I shared a pint of Ben and Jerry's AmeriCone Dream, and it tasted like the most amazing ice cream ever. I wanted ice cream for the rest of the week... Other random things I usually wouldn't like: a Subway meatball sub.
Etc.: I can't wait to see this little baby. I am hoping for a March baby (his estimated due date is February 20), so I doubt that will happen, but for some reason March sounds good. This week I made a little more progress on decisions for his nursery, found an amazing tutorial on turning a regular chair in to a rocker, and generally just found myself more eager to be this little one' s mama. I can't believe the second trimester is almost over and the third is beginning. Only a couple more months and he will be here, with us. We are praying the easy pregnancy will continue and our sweet baby boy will continue growing healthily.

You are definitely glowing in this picture. Glad to hear your pregnancy is going well. I was on an emotional roller coaster for most of my pregnancy as well. Thank goodness I have a very supportive and loving husband. Our daughter was born in March and that was a great time of year to have a baby. Since you guys live in Florida I imagine February will be nice as well. Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!
