26 Weeks

26 weeks on 8/21/14

- Claire Bear loves herself some morning playtime! Lately, That's when she's been moving the most and doing the strongest kicks.
- This is probably silly, but I started to worry about her being "upside down" when I lay on my left side. I read that she is starting to understand up and down, and when I lay on the left her head is down. I realize how stupid that is as I'm typing it...I want her head down for delivery, right?! (Get a grip of yourself, Mer!)
- Lord, help me not to panic and mess the children up during heir first week of kindergarten. I met them and parents tonight and immediately felt more overwhelmed than I have ever felt in a classroom.
- Change of pace, Claire is a night owl.
- Went to Arkadelphia for Andrew to compete in the Olympic triathlon.
- Road trips are still rough on the swelling/numbness.
- Pretty sure I had some Braxton hicks contractions on the first day of school....13 more days...I can do this. (Pain started at the top of my uterus and lower back and then settled down to the bottom of my uterus - or what I assume to be my uterus.)
- I slipped and fell at school today. My foot slipped right out from under me and I landed on my side. My stomach didn't hit the ground nor has it hurt since then. I was mostly scared and embarrassed because people saw.
- Being back on a teacher's routine has made me so very hungry.
- I'm starting to get so HOT when I sleep!!!
- Her kicks are sometimes completely on my side. They almost tickle.
- 10 days left in my long-term sub gig. Boom.
