Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's soaking up your antibodies, getting his immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and he'll soon be practicing the blink...perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

26 weeks
Well here we are, 2 weeks past...I can't believe how fast time is going. Oscar is wiggling like crazy now. He is still breech and dancing on my bladder. (I can't believe how much I have to pee now!) Not much new going on right now. I go in to have more blood tests on June 1st to check my platelet count...but I'm not all that worried about it. Here is what Oscar is up to lately.
And here I am at 26 weeks...sometimes I think to myself "how am I suppose to get any bigger?" I feel like I am already stretched to the max! At least I'm still feeling really good!

World Cup Awesomeness
This is for you Daniel!
I loved every minute of this...except of course the part with Kobe, could have done without that!

Weekend full of fun, doctors appt. and lots of kicking
It all started off with a fabulous dinner Friday night at Le Nonnes with our marvelous friends the Cooks for Krista's birthday! Oh, and we can't forget the ice cream at Coldstone. (Sheena - I got the cake mix with cookie dough and waffle cone, thought of you the entire time I was eating it!)
Brandy and I had made plans last week to have a much needed (for both of us) girls day. So on Saturday, we went to the Farmers Market early in the morning. (Well early for me, Brandy is use to getting up before 9am!) I made sure to leave all my cash at home because I knew that I would want to buy one of everything for baby boys. Brandy bought some amazing bread and bread dip. Now that I have tried it, that's all I'm craving...jalapeno bread and dip, yummmm! I may have to make a trip this Saturday to get me some! After the Farmers Market we went to go get our toes done. We both got glitter toes for the first time...it was a lot of fun. We went to Maxium beauty school, and leave it to me and Brandy to get the two most white trash girls there. (sorry, I'm not trying to be mean...they were really nice and did an awesome job with our glitter toes!) It's just funny to hear all of the beauty school drama and the girls bickering back and forth. Not to mention that my toes really did need some attention, it's getting really hard for me to bend over and paint my own toes like I use to do. And they say that the glitter toes can last up to 2 months. (we'll see!) Afterwards we went to Logans Heros for lunch then a little shopping at Old Navy...they have the cutest sandals there!
Daniel really wanted to go swimming at his parents house. It was about 75 or 80 degrees outside so I thought "what the heck?" Boy was I wrong...the pool was still pretty chilly and there is always a breeze coming off of Hyrum dam. I didn't want to get in, so I sat on the side with my feet in the water soaking up some sun. Daniel stood on the diving board for EVER before he finally decided to jump in. But it wasn't that simple, he thought it would be hilarious if he splashed me, so he jumped towards me (while I wasn't looking) and did a cannon ball and DRENCHED me with water. I was so so so MAD! So I stood up, grabbed his towel and threw it in the pool and said "that's yours" I eventually got over it and let him use my dry towel...I'm just too nice!
On Sunday (May 16) I went over to my mom's house while Daniel went golfing. We potted a bunch of flowers in the beautiful sun! While I was sitting on the back porch soaking up the sun, I lifted my shirt to expose my belly so Oscar could get some vitamin D. I was sitting there staring down at my belly and then next thing I know, I see the entire right side of my belly move. It was the first time I really felt him KICK (hard) and I got to see my belly move at the same time! It was incredible! Then it was off to Daniel's soccer game, (they won 4-0) more fun in the sun! It was a beautiful spring weekend!
I had my doctors appt. on Monday (May 17). It was probably the worst one yet. I had to do the gestational diabetes testing. My appt. wasn't until 4pm so I had to watch what I ate all day long. No sugar for Sarah :( That was so hard, I can't believe how much sugar is in everything we eat...I went to drink a milk chug and looked at the ingredients and even that had 13g of sugar per serving. An hour before my appt. I had to drink an orange glucose drink, and I had to drink it within 5 minutes. (the pressure!) The first drink wasn't too bad, I drank half of it in one gulp. Then the after taste hit and I almost threw up and I still had half the bottle to drink. The drink reminded me of otter-pops, only not frozen, like some one took a bunch of the orange ones and poured them into a bottle for us poor pregnant women to drink. It did NOT agree with my belly either. The next day I was so sick, the thought of eating made me cringe. (and I'm still not feeling 100%) At the docs, they took my blood (the lady who does it is amazing at it...I could barely see a pin prick in my arm afterwards). Then it was in to see Dr. Horsley. We got to hear the heartbeat again (I absolutely love hearing that sound!!) Oscar is currently breech, but not to worry, he still has plenty of time to flip!
On Tuesday (May 18) me and Daniel were sitting on the couch watching TV when Oscar starting kicking me like crazy. I made Daniel put his hand on my belly, like I had done a thousand times before...and continued with the "did you feel that?" and the "no's" I have wanted nothing more the last few weeks for Daniel to feel his son kicking and moving around in there. So this day he finally did! I didn't even have to ask if he felt it, he just looked over at me with his eyes so wide and said "I felt that one!!!!" It was super exciting that he finally got to feel Oscar moving around!!!
I received a call from the doctors office, they said that I didn't have gestational diabetes, but my platlete count was really low, so now I have to go in on Jun 1st and have my blood drawn again so they can keep their eyes on it. From everything I have read, I don't think it's too much to worry about...I'll keep you all updated.

24 Weeks
So the other day I was talking to Daniel and I said "holy crap...I'm 6 months pregnant" and his mouth just dropped. Where did time go? This has gone by so quick for both of us! Only 3 more months and we will be parents...I can't wait, and neither can he!!!
Last Sunday was Mothers (to be) Day and I had an absolutely wonderful day thanks to the best husband ever! We went over to Daniel's parents house and had an early dinner and talk to Tom (who is currently on his mission in Canada) it was good to hear from him. He only has 9 more months and he gets to come home. Things will be slightly different when he gets home. In the time he has been gone, Micah and Cathy got married. Sara and Kristi both had little boys and me and Cathy will have new babies. The family just keeps getting bigger and bigger! After that we headed home so Daniel could get ready for his soccer game. I went to watch him and soak up some sun. Then it was off to my mom's, spent some time with her then back home. Daniel put together the crib for me (which I have been wanting him to do for months now!) I told him that was all I wanted for Mothers Day and that's what I got! So now we have the crib up, the bedding washed and his bed made...we just about have the nursery ready to go!
According to the bump.com baby Oscar is still about the size of a papaya, and they didn't have an update for week 24. So here is an update from babycenter.com.

According to the bump.com baby Oscar is still about the size of a papaya, and they didn't have an update for week 24. So here is an update from babycenter.com.
How your baby's growing:
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
My next doctors appt. is on May 17th. This is the fun one where I have to drink that orange sugar drink and they take my blood and test for gestational diabetes. Wish me luck! And in the tradition of my 2 weeks...here is a picture of me at 24 weeks...
