The Brunkers: Baby #2 Weeks 26 and 27

Weeks 26 and 27

How Far Along: 27 weeks

Total Weight Gain: 25 pounds (yikes!)

Maternity Clothes: YES!

Favorite Moment This Week: Brooklyn finally saying "Molly" instead of "Mahl". It sounds a little like "Mommy", but it is pretty close to "Molly". Hopefully in the next 3 months she can say it the correct way! Also, feeling my baby girl kick and move ALL day long! This girl is active!

Gender: Girl-Molly Kate!

Movement: ALL DAY, and night!

Food Cravings: Fruit and Pop-Tarts!

What I Miss: I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable. When sitting on the floor playing with Brooklyn I can't just sit there for long periods of time without needing back support or to re-position every 30 seconds!

Sleep: Some nights are better than others! I have not been getting up to use the restroom as much in the past, but I am still getting up at least 3 times a night. It is also hard for me to fall asleep before 11pm. I can be exhausted, but I just lay there with tons of thoughts going through my head! I have found that if I don't fall asleep until midnight, I usually don't wake up until 5am to go to the bathroom for the first time!

What I Am Looking Forward To: The crib is ordered and will be delivered tomorrow! The nursery is getting painted this weekend by Ben and my mother-in-law! I am so excited!

Symptoms: back aches, uncomfortable

Belly Button: Pretty even/flat, getting ready to pop out all the way!

Next Dr. Appt: Next week-the dreaded glucose test! I actually didn't mind it at all when pregnant with Brooklyn, I just hope I pass!

Pictures: 26 weeks

Brooklyn posed perfectly! When I tell her it's time to take a picture she runs to our room and stands by the wall and grabs the chalkboard out of my hand! This time she held the chalkboard perfectly-not in her face like times before!
