So we've had a fun past week. Pregnancy has brought on some really fun new things like back aches! I can barely sit at my desk at work right now because of my lower back pain. Yesterday, I went to Brookstone and bought a lumbar massage pillow. Crap- my back still hurts bad and now it sounds like there's a vibrator in my workstation!! I guess the pain comes from counteracting the 20 lbs that I've already put on! Oh well, the joys of pregnancy!! If anyone knows of a good massage place in Dallas/Plano for pregnancy please let me know! I went this morning to do the glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes. Hope not, that would stink!
On another note, Matt and I have started painting the baby's room. He is so frustrated with me because I came up with this brilliant idea to paint a faux chair rail with 5 different stripes of colors along walls of the 270 sq. ft. bedroom. He goes around yelling, "5 stripes!" all of the time! His dad even called him the other day inquiring who he could contact if he wanted to paint 5 stripes on walls in a large room. It's kind of funny to me! I am absolutely determined to do this and that I'm pregnant and can't help as much as I should! It's part of my colored drawing that I created a few months ago. Yes, I've been planning with drawings and print outs for a long time! It just better turn out good! The funny part is, there are actually 7 stripes! We're doing a light blue on top and a dark navy on the bottom. I promise to update the blog with more before/during pictures and then after pictures. We got the crib the other day and we're getting the glider and ottoman on Friday! I'm so excited to get his room all together.
Little boy Franks is so active! I love it! The other night, he was kicking and moving around a lot and then Captain starting barking. As soon as the barking started, it startled baby F and then he would stop and be still. Soon after the movement started again. This little cycle happened a couple of times. Good, hope he gets used to our barking maniac dog now!!
Keep checking, because we are going to announce his name very soon!! We've finally decided!! I'm so excited!! Below is my week 26 pic. If you look closely, you can see the belly button popping out! Sorry I look so gross, it was right before bed! Hope everyone has a fabulous last week before Christmas!!

I'm so ticked - I just typed a LONG comment and the computer messed up. Anyway - sorry you have backaches already. Two words - FLAT SHOES!!! And put your feet up! Your belly is precious! Can't wait to hear his name. Is Matt becoming Bob Villa?
cant wait to see bed roompics1 and i am so glad it wasnt kidney stones like me!!!! get some rest! and as for the pic- you are adorable!
you look great! i can't wait to hear his name...announce it soon!!
I want to be you when I grow up. When am I going to get a shower envite for baby F.? I was actually shopping for him online today.
Love the new background. We had fun with ya'll this weekend and you look great! "Five stripes!" That is cracking me up!
What might help is SITTING on a pillow or a Boppy (with your hiney in the middle). It's not elegant and you don't really feel that lady-like, but that seemed to reduce some of my back stress with JK anyways.
But, honestly, you are wearing your pregnancy beautifully! You look wonderful!
all 20 are definitely in the belly! cute pregers :)
So excited to see the room! You look great my friend!
1. You never look gross.
2. Talk to Scott Rowe about stripes in a baby's room.
