Hey there, baby boy!

Happy 26 Weeks 🙂

Baby Yepes is the size of a Butternut Squash 🙂
Lots and lots of kicking, strong enough to be noticed from the outside.
He loves momma’s voice, especially her off key singing.
He HATES light and loves to sleep. My little mini me.

I, personally, had a setback this past week. I threw up consistently every day. Nowhere near as much as the beginning of my HG battle but enough to knock me off my feet. My acid reflux is still consistent but under control with my daily dose of Protonix and Tums in between. I am so so tired but I toss and turn more than I sleep at night. I take a Unisom tablet every night, it helps for a few hours but then I’m pretty much up and awake no later than 5am. I’m starting to feel some slight cramping on my lower abdomen area, just for a few minutes and it disappears. Overall, my mornings are difficult but all my symptoms seem to ease off by the evening, that’s when I get a burst of energy so I take advantage of whatever I have to do.

Most importantly, I PASSED MY GLUCOSE TEST. So that’s one less stress to worry about.

Baby shower is in less than two weeks! I’ve coordinated everything on my own, now on to finishing the last final touches.
