26 weeks

26 weeks

We are officially down to double digits this week. EEEkkk.. All this kid does is Kick and Kick all day long. It's insane how much he moves. I am starting to have spurts of energy and then the next day completely drained. So on the days i'm feeling good i make sure to do all i can do. Potty breaks during the night are coming back with a vengeance. It was so nice sleeping all the way through the night.
We got some stuff done in his room, i still feel like we have so much to do and get. Which makes me a tad stressed. But i'm just trying to breath and remember it will all fall into place. The girls are still soo excited to meet baby b and talk about him daily. They are sure to tell every person we come into contact with that i'm pregnant with there baby brother bennett =)) Makes my mama heart melt!

How far along?

Total weight gain/loss: I am guessing up 7 pounds. i go to the dr's next week. but that's what i am off my home scale 

Sleep: Sleep has been ok. i have a couple potty breaks but i am falling right back asleep

Best moment this week: Bryton was able to feel him kick, it was so cute. She is constantly touching or kissing my belly and wanted to feel him kick, once he did she jumped so high and me and bradon just started laughing cause it startled her so bad.

Movement: Oh yes, he's a mover. i can't tell how he is positioned still. i still get movement down so low and up high now.

Symptoms: My back is not loving this pregnancy and been giving me lots of crippled moments, but i'm trying to truck along. on and off braxton hicks.

Brynlee Jo

My beautiful first baby is 5.5 this month. She lost her first tooth last night and has another loose one. She starts kindergarten in august and is dancing away on a competition team. She has grown into the most beautiful girl that i could only imagine. I can't believe she is all mine. She is literally my little best friend that i don't want to share with anyone, but for some reason the girl loves to be on the go and not home with her mom!
Her heart is literally made from gold and she cares about everyone's feelings so much. She has always been an amazing sleeper, and still to this day rocks it. I will forever be thankful for sleep training my babies. She is the best big sister, her and bryton play and play for hours and it melts my momma heart like nothing else. She is obsessed with baby Bennett already and kisses and hugs my belly on the daily. She actually got to feel him kick this morning and she was pretty stoked.
I don't know what bradon and I did so right to deserve such a caring ,respectful beautiful little girl, but man i feel so extremely lucky.

Some of her favorites right now are....
Color- Blue
Food- Pizza ( bagel bites and pizza rolls )
Best Friends- Kimberlee, brooke and ryder
Favorite thing to do- play with friends/color
Favorite holiday- Christmas then halloween.


Bryn J you rock my little world! Please don't ever change, You are beyond perfect and i love you forever!
