How far along? 26 weeks 4 days!
Total weight gain: Gained another pound!
Maternity clothes? not quite yet but I'm a preggers lady fo sho. And I did wear the bella band for the first time and I LOVE IT!
Stretch marks? no no no. While I am sure this is because I am slathering on the mustela like a psycho morning, afternoon and evening, it could also be that I'm not that huge yet. Bigger. But not huge.
Sleep:? Suddenly I am the worlds most exhausted human being ever. While this is annoying during the day, it is fabulous for my sleep. I barely open open my eyes to pee during my normal 7 times a night and sleep like a baby 10-12 hours. Listen- while I may sound like a lazy piece of crap to you, I must point out that Winston and Joey have adopted this schedule verrrrrrry easily too. We are an extremely well rested household these days. Dont hate.
Best moment this week: We have yet to have a boring slow week and this week was no exception. First of all, we just found out today, that my incredibly smart, talented amazing husband was just promoted and is now the Director for San Diego, Hawaii and Vegas! There is literally no one who deserves this more and I couldn't be more proud of him. This is something we were hoping and praying for but there were a lot of balls in the air that could have made this not happen (he likely would have been promoted regardless but we were praying it would be in San Diego market so we wouldnt have to consider moving and there was only a small chance that SD would end up working) and we had no idea it would happen so soon!! We are both absolutely ecstatic and are celebrating tonight by me being kind enough to suffer through sports watching non stop, ordering round table pizza and making him his favorite cookies and cupcakes. My husband kicks butt! Plus, this job promotion means he'll have to let his wife and son tag along for a few hawaii and vegas trips..my mom and I are already planning some girls vacations!
This last weekend my best friend Shawna and her fiancee Adrian came and stayed with us and brought their adorable Cavalier King Charles named Gus. We went out to dinner and drinks in Laguna and had a blast playing games with them and watching the doggies play with each other (per usual, Winston annoying Gus and poor Gus trying to find hiding places). I can't even begin to express how much I love Shawna and how much of a sister she really is to me. We grew up 4 houses down from each other and have been best friends for almost 25 years! How crazy is that! Joey always says that it's amazing that Shawna and I have stayed such close friends over the years and I take pride in how close we are despite the distance. She really is the best friend! Am I an emotional pregnant lady?
Then we went to our friends Brooke and Chris's USC tailgate on Saturday on the beach, which was awesome and they also have an adorable Cavalier King Charles named Quiggly. I take all these adorable cavaliers as a sign that it is time for our next dog and it prob should be one of these breeds. Although, I have a hard time saying no to a beagle. The Cefalu's do love our beagles!!

Sunday we went to our friends Luke and Candices house to celebrate their adorable little girl Hazel turning 3! She is so adorable and I swear 2 minutes ago she could barely walk. They also have a 2 1/2 month old Harper who is so cute and tiny, I can't believe I am blessed enough to have one of my own soon!
Miss Anything? Not at all anymore. I must be growing up and I kind of think pregnancy suits me! Well, I could use a boody mary or 10.
Movement: ALL THE TIME! He is big time moving all the time. A ton of people have now felt him move and whenever I get that "is my baby healthy and okay???!!!" fear, he seems to start kicking up a storm like "momma, you are one crazy worrywart!"
Food Cravings: BBQ chicken salads, True Food, frozen grapes, Edamame, edamame dumplings, whip cream.
Anything making you queasy or sick: randomly in the morning I feel sick but a pill typically takes care of it!
Gender: BOY! Boooyaah!
Labor Signs: Negative.
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions are starting, I think but fortunately they don't hurt and I heard they help to prep your cervix (TMI?) for labor so I dont mind them. Theyre just a little weird feeling but kind of crazy because they remind me how close we are to the end. Back pain is starting to happen a lot, Doc said it a sciatic nerve thing. Joy. oh and Joey now insists his sciatic nerve hurts. Pregnancy jealousy much?
Belly Button in or out? This belly button of mine is def on his way out. he spends the first half of the day (when my belly is less large) in and the second half popping out! He's a wild one !
Wedding rings on or off? ON!!!!
Happy or Moody most of the time: This IS the happiest I have ever been!
Looking forward to: My glucose tolerance test tomorrow. NOT. I heard the liquid they make you drink is DISGUSTING and although I am not particularly worried about the results, tests are always a little anxiety ridden.
I am looking forward to this weekend though! It should be super relaxing (a first for us) and my mom wants to take us out to celebrate Joeys promotion and do a little shopping!
Joey and I are hoping to keep the schedule light this weekend and focus on registering, plotting out the nursery and just getting our lives in order in general.
BTW, I know this site is super hard to comment on so if anyone wants to contact me directly my email is alexnacol@gmail.com :)
BFF's for almost 25 years now!!
SC tailgate!
