26 WEEKS!!

PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE!!! I only have 98days=14weeks=3 1/2 months!!! I'm so geeked to meet my son. I want time to fly and then when he gets here just slow all the way down.

How far along? 6 1/2 months


Total weight gain/loss? I have gained 19lbs. I'm pretty happy with that. I got my eating back under control. I'm not trying to deal with losing alot of weight after I give birth. My goal was to only gain 25-30lbs. I bumped that up to 40lbs lol. Give me some wiggle room.

Bump showing? The bump has popped out. I'm getting the googly eyes from total strangers now. People have been so nice asking before they rub my belly. I'm so used to having random convos with folks bc I'm so tall. Now we talk about my baby bump and how tall I am. Ha!

   PAUSE! LET ME TAKE A SELFIE!!!


Maternity Clothes? Talltique sent me a few items that are perfect for my growing belly. I'm still squeezing into my jeans and using a hair tie to keep them buttoned. 

Stretch Marks? Nope! Kathleen didn't get them so I'm hoping that's hereditary. I just stay oiled up. 

Sleep? I'm back to being a night owl. I just watch tv until I fall asleep. Between the 100 new episodes Forensic Files just released and Big Cat Week on National Geographic Channel it's always something good to watch at night. My back has been hurting lately so that keeps me from getting a good nights rest too.

Dreams? I've been fighting and beating up folks in my dreams. This has to be from falling asleep to Forensic Files.

Best moment this week? One of my best friends came back into my life this week. It felt so good to talk to her. It has been way too long. I'll never let that happen to us again. I really love her and I've truly missed her. We chatted for almost 3 hours. I can hear her happiness and growth. Which makes my heart smile.  She has as an almost 5 month old baby boy now too. So, now our boys will be able to grow up together. And, who better to tell Destin about how his mama used to be than her. :-)

I also went house shopping with my baby sister, Trina. I continue to be proud of her. Shopping for her first home is such an amazing moment to be apart of. I brag on the kid alot but she always gives me a reason to be a proud Big Sissy!!! My sister is better than yours!

Miss anything? Nothing this week.

Baby movement? He's been getting it popping in there. His long legs are stretched out along my left side. So, when I lay on my left side he goes nuts. I politely roll over to the right side. He also moves the most when we are at church and Pastor Davis starts preaching. I don't know what that means. If he's going to be a man of the cloth I best clean up my act alot more. Lol. He has a heathen mama. 

Workout this week? Nah!!

Hormonal moment of the week? Nothing this week. 

Food cravings? I've been on my soups and salads this week. A nurse told me to watch my sodium intake so I don't get swollen. I'm always in the mood for some good bbq. Phat Daddy's hooked me up on Friday. So yummy!!! I ate my food at 3 something PM and got right in the bed. ITIS!!

Anything making you queasy or sick? I've been having heartburn. Jenn told me that means your baby is going to have a full head of hair.  YASSS!!! But, "WE SHALL SEE!"

Purchased any baby things yet? I always buy my baby something. I can't help it. I know he's going to grow out of everything blah blah blah! He's my first baby and it makes me feel good to buy him things. Just get ready to see his lil face on Facebook, IG and Twitter a few times a day with different outfits on. He got some new Tennessee gear. I had to get me a bigger Lady Vol shirt too. My orange UT shirt won't make it into the new year.  Go Lady Vols! Go Vols!


Gender prediction? It's a Boy!!!

Baby Names? Destin Wayne Robinson aka Dez aka DROB 

Other body changes? My boobs are ginormous. I feel like I need to start calling them Tits or something more xxx. These girls are plump!!! 

Belly button in or out? It has popped all the way out. 

Happy or moody most of the time? I'm happy! Totally igg the things that take me out of my happy space. "Aint nobody got time for dat!" 

Looking forward to? The birth of my bff Jennifer's baby girl Stella. She will be here by Dec. 13!!! I love being an Auntie!!!

Until next time...Be Blessed folks xoxo
