A 26 Week Update!
How far along: 26 weeks! Acorrding to "The Bump" app, she is about the size of a head of lettuce. I'm not really sure why but 26 sounds a lot closer to 30 than 25 did and REALLY close to 40. It's hard to believe we are wrapping up our second trimester and our baby girl will be here in just 14 weeks.
Sleep: Sleep is a toss up. Either it is great or I don't sleep at all.
Food Cravings: Since we were at the gulf this weekend, I had my fill of seafood! We even brought some fresh shrimp home to put up in the freezer. A lot of people have their opinions on seafood and pregnancy. Honestly, I think it is fine. Being from south Alabama, I've eaten it all my life so I'm sure my body is used to it. I don't eat anything raw or high in mercury. And fish has a ton of nutrients that are good for the baby too!
Gender: A sweet baby girl.
Name: Tenley Hope Arnett
Movement: Lots! I feel like I'm carrying her very low, and some of those kicks and jabs have become painful. She kicked me hard the other morning and I swear I felt it...you know..down there. I told Mark, "I think this baby is trying to make an escape for it!!" which only freaked him out a little. I do think she is very long, Mark is pretty tall, and I'm willing to bet Tenley will have long legs like her daddy.
Symptoms: The heartburn hasn't eased up in the least. I'm almost used to it! I did have some swelling over the weekend probably due to too much time on my feet and not enough water. I also think I've had some Braxton Hicks contractions? You know, that tightening can't quite breathe feeling? I'm going to talk to my Dr. about that Monday!

Best Pregnancy Moment: We spent the weeked in south Alabama with my family. They threw us the cutest baby shower, and we are so thankful for all they've done for us. Tenley is already beyond loved, and a little spoiled! We really enjoyed just spending time with everyone and catching up.
What I Miss: Nothing really!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Our next appointment is Monday. Our Dr said we could do the 4D ultrasound then, but we are considering waiting until I'm 30-31 weeks. It's still up for discussion. Either way I love going to the Dr. and hearing her heartbeat. Am I crazy for looking foward to those 2 week appointments??
