26 Weeks

Week 26

How far along? 26 weeks, 2 days

Baby is the size of a: head of lettuce, but maybe not because we’re measuring a wee bit small.

Total weight gain: Ugh. I gained a ton of weight. I’m now up 16 pounds. This does not bode well.

Maternity clothes?  Yep. 

Stretch marks? None yet.

Sleep: I haven’t been sleeping well the past few nights. My cold/allergies/whatever this is is making it very hard to breathe and my back has been bothering me.

Best moment this week: Getting some decent baby clothes on clearance!

Miss Anything?  I want to go running! Maybe I’ll try some speed walking or a light 5 minute jog.

Movement: He had a lazy day yesterday, but he’s awake now and playing soccer with my organs. Thanks, kid.

Food cravings: Fresh fruits and veggies. And cake.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of Subway.  

Gender:  Boy!

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: Back pain. And I’m getting a faint linea nigra above my belly button now. The problem is, that it doesn’t line up with the other half of the linea nigra that’s below my belly button and I’m a little OCD about it.

Belly Button in or out? In, but it’s getting shallow.

Wedding rings on or off? On. My fingers only got swollen at church this week. No idea why that happens every Sunday!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. 

Looking forward to: Being with my wonderful husband again! I’ve missed that goofy guy.
