26 weeks...

This week came with lots fun, new milestones. I felt Ethan hiccup for the very first time! It was, quite possibly, one of my favorite things experienced in pregnancy so far!!  Equally as exciting, Gabe was able to hear our little guy's heartbeat through my belly this past Friday night. It makes me feel like he's getting so big. And he's not the only thing growing. My appetite seems to have kicked into overdrive. In fact, as I sit here typing, I realize that I have just concured almost an entire bag of goldfish. Normally a healthy eater, I devoured an entire small pizza by myself the other night. Gabe was shocked....I think we both were. While I rarely let myself induldge to this extent, it was wonderful at the time!!! My back pain seems to have eased up this week, which is a relaxing change of pace from the past few weeks. I had my one hour glucose test for gestational diabetes this week, and we're keeping our fingers crossed for good results. Either way, my focus is completely on Ethan and whatever it takes to keep myself healthy for him. He's still tumbling around and "exploring his space", as his daddy says. Each day he feels a little bigger...and so does my belly. Oh yeah, and another milestone this week...I finally had to order maternity clothes!!!
