How Far Along: 26 weeks! EEEK!! I feel like the weeks are starting to go by faster and faster! That makes me excited but also scares me a little bit.
Size of Baby: she is the size of an eggplant...weighing in at about 2 pounds! Grow sweet girl grow! Here is a picture of her that we took almost two weeks ago and I forgot to post it....
Maternity Clothes: of course :)
Weight Gain: +15 total
Stretch Marks: no new ones but I am using my lotion like crazy. Very itchy belly and boobs!

Belly Button: getting shallower and shallower.
Sleep: decent...I guess. I wake up a lot to pee but I am able to go back to sleep pretty good. Rolling over takes a little bit longer than it used to...just aches to move once I have been in one position for a long time.
Best Moment of the Week: researching stuff to register for. I have been on Babies r Us website a lot! Looking at and reading reviews for car seats, strollers, pack n plays, breast pumps, etc. It is all so much fun!!!!
Starting to feel real pregnant. I have started my walking back up and it kicks my booty! I do less than a mile and it still kicks my booty. I have also been stretching because I feel so tight and crampy all over. My back aches and my feet hurt after working. All signs that I am getting super pregnant!
Movement: lots and lots of movement!
Symptoms: still BH contractions....I'm starting to notice what makes me have them and what makes them go away. That makes me feel better.
bigger boobies :) I have gone up 2 cup sizes since getting pregnant....love this!

What I Miss: I miss it not being 104 outside....I mean really? IT IS HOT!
Food Cravings/Aversions: We went to the farmer's market this past weekend and I got a bunch of fresh fruit and veggies...YUM! I also tried the mango pineapple smoothie from McD's....it is awesome!
Gender: a precious little princess
What I'm Looking Forward to: actually registering this weekend.
I am also looking forward to getting all of my showers scheduled...I am going to be having three. One of them is going to be all of my friends and their mothers (mostly people I went to high school with because we are all still very close). The second one is being given by two of my mom's friends. And the third one is my husband's partners wives (that is difficult to say!). Basically the wives of all the men my husband works with. There are about 10 -12 of them I think. Anyway, I have one of them nailed down and the other two will have a date in the next few days!

Weekly Wisdom: enjoy every second because it is starting to go by really fast!
Milestones: As of yesterday I was down to double digits...as in only 99 more days left! Wow...I remember when I first got my BFP I thought this was a LONG way off and now here we are! Every day she is inside my belly is a wonderful miracle :)
And a couple of pics of the 26 week belly...

Not that you asked for advice, but I have a reccomendation for a breast pump. At first we went the cheaper route and just got the single electric Madela Swing breastpump. it worked pretty well until it was time for me to go back to work and then only doing one side at a time was horrible! I went back and bought the Madela Pump In Style - Metro (not a big deal that it was the Metro bag but it was all they had in stock at my BRU), life saver! I got more milk from each session in less than half the time. Definitely worth the investment! Now that I'm done writing my Novel, haha! =)
ReplyDeleteYou look so great!! I'm having trouble with switching positions when I'm sleeping too so achy! I'm jealous you have only gained 15 lbs!
ReplyDeleteMmm, fresh fruits and veggies from the farmer's market sounds good! We have one in my town every Thursday and I never have cash on me - I'll have to remember to go sometime soon. Have fun registering and setting your showers!! You are looking wonderful!
