26 weeks!

- What I'm craving these days: sweets... i just made some cookie bars tonight cause I really wanted some chocolate! Other than that, nothing too crazy! 


- How I'm feeling: tired, of course! But that's nothing new. My feet also hurt...but I'm thinking that's only because they're HUGE!!


- What I don't like: hmmmm... well, Jesse cooked some steak the other night and it didn't bother me...so I guess I can't say steak anymore! So, right now, I really don't know! I stick to things I know I like! :)  


- Sleep: I can still only sleep on my left side! It's the only way I get comfy! I've also learned to put a pillow underneath my belly to help make me more comfortable, as well as having my body pillow! Our bed is full of pillows these days... in fact we have 8 plus my body pillow...so 9 pillows total! haha. 


- What I'm looking forward to: The material for the bedding finally came in...so I'm super excited to start working on that with my mom! Also, I'm looking forward to the baby shower and starting the final trimester! Can't get here soon enough!! 


- Size of Baby Schiff: Our baby boy is around 9 1/4 inches now!! He almost weighs a whole 2 pounds...so I can't blame all this extra weight on him! haha. 

- Baby Schiff's development this week: Baby Schiff now has a distinct sleeping/waking cycle. Hopefully, it's a good cycle! :) He can start to see things now because his eyes are beginning to open, if they haven't already! He's able to somewhat move his heard around as well these days and his hair is starting to grow in! 


-Message to Baby Schiff from Mommy: You're bedding is finally here and I can't wait to start working on it! Your daddy has to leave in about 9 days for 3 weeks for the military... so it's just going to be You, Rylee, and Me for awhile! Oh the fun we'll have!! :) Only 14 more weeks until we FINALLY get to meet you! <3



*Please excuse the spot on my shirt...I had just finished washing the dishes and didn't feel like changing! haha*


and now...a little update. So, about 3 months after Baby Schiff is born we have the annual Marine Corp Ball in StL! I'm using the ball as my motivation to immediately start working out after Baby gets here... or at least as soon as possible! I bought a dress for 10 bucks at TJ Maxx for the ball, so it's going to be my inspiration to lose all this extra weight! I love the ball...Jesse doesn't seem to enjoy it as much as I do...but I love having a reason to go out, dress up, and get pretty! It kinda feels like prom...only more formal and a lot more fun! 

What else is new!? I've found a new love for my new cup. It's one of those Plastic cups that you can take with you anywhere...it has a straw and everything! I'm sure it has an official name but I can't think of it right now! Go figure! Anyway, I love it. I take it EVERYWHERE with me. It's so convenient at work as well, because I can just fill it up with water all day long! It helps me to drink all the water I'm supposed to drink in a day as well! 

It's been a lonnnggg day today! Jesse had classes for the mines and somehow ended up with both sets of our car keys. Yes, that's right...He took my car and somehow took his jeep's keys with him as well. What's funny is before he left I reminded him to leave the keys and he said ok, they're on the desk! So, I was going to be extra nice today and take his Jeep up to the car wash and clean it as well. Too bad I couldn't because I didn't have the keys! When I called to ask him where they were he said they were on the desk... when i informed him they were not he said.."oooh, that's because they're right here!" hahahah. Oh well, I got a lot accomplished by being stuck at home all day anyway! I did about 3480923840923850 loads of laundry. Yes, that many indeed! At least it felt like that many. Good news is:: It's all done...except for some towels..but that's no biggie! I also cleaned our bathroom, cleaned out some cabinets, and did the dishes. And since Jesse seems to think I don't cook enough anymore, I made us some delicious tacos and mexican rice! I also made dessert... which we have yet to try because we're both full! :) 

Rylee...what's she been up to you may wonder!? Well, Today she hid some more of her chewy bones and stuff because I found several of them while cleaning today. So, of course she had to find a new hiding spot. It's hilarious because she'll hide them in the covers that I have laid out and then I'll move them to make the bed and she'll just have to hide them again. So I get to hear her whine even more!! She's so funny though! I woke up early this morning because I had to pee...yes, that seems to be a continuing trend these days...and it's only getting worse! Anyway, she usually wakes up when I get out of the bed for any reason and this morning she didn't. So I got worried because I didn't see her. I "quietly" tried to say her name but apparently it wasn't quiet enough because I woke Jesse up. Turns out, Rylee was snugged right between his legs down by his feet passed out. According to Jess, she went from sleeping in his arms to sleeping in his feet last night! She's such a baby...but that's ok, because we've kind of made her that way! 

Alright, I think that about does it for tonight! I promise to update a lot more from now on!
