Week 26/27 - Better late than never =)

I am a little late in my belly posting this week. The mornings have been hectic this week. Abby has been keeping me a wake the past few nights with acid reflux. All I have to say is she had better have some hair after all of this! They say that when you have acid reflux your baby will come out with a lot of hair... We will see if this wives tale holds true. Joe and I both didn't have a lot of hair. And I pretty much didn't need a hair cut until kindergarten!



I was so excited on Wednesday night because I went to bed at 9:30 but that was the night that I was pretty much up all night or uncomfortable with the gag reflex/acid reflux. So much for trying to get some sleep. I know that this is only preparing me for the inevitable... but come on, at least give mommy 5 hours of sleep prior to officially coming into the world ;) And the Bradley teacher has scared me away from pretty much taking tums. She said that they have aluminum in them and that aluminum is the new mercury. I guess when our parents were having kids the big scare was too much mercury and now it is too much aluminum. I read the label and couldn't find any aluminum but maybe it is found in all of those colored ingredients that get added. They were helping a little bit by the way, but I don't want to do anything that will hurt little Abby. So I will just try to eat light dinners, not shovel my food in, stay away from spicy or heavy (greasy) foods, etc. We will see how that goes for now. There are really less than 3 months left so I think I can manage that.



This morning I woke up at 4:20 because Abby decided to have a Tae Bo session inside of my belly. It was cracking me up! She was seriously either punching or kicking so fast. Normally they are slow and seem almost like stretches, but these were serious kicks. So I just laid there for the additional 10 minutes til I had to get up and just let her do her thing. She tired out pretty quickly.



There is the bump, I think I can almost call it a shelf because it literally catches all of my crumbs. I never really realized how messy of an eater I was till I get pregnant. Or else the hand to mouth coordination has gotten a little sloppy.

Peek a Boo =) She started moving when we were taking the picture but you can't really tell that yet.
