26 weeks!

 

How Far Along? 26 weeks and 2 days. FYI: There are only like 74 days until we hit Term and 96 days until our due date!

Baby Size: We're somewhere around 15 inches long and 2 lbs.

Total Weight Gain: According to the Doctors scale on Wednesday, I am officially 17lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity Clothes: Only.

Stretch Marks:  None yet that I see...

Best moment this week: Two things: One: Yard-Sale-ing. I bought her so many clothes and books! Two: Really getting to see her move around!

Miss Anything? Steamed Oysters. Ham and Cheese Sandwiches.

Movement: Okay, she is something! Last night she was really showing off for me and her daddy. We were just sitting in the bed... just talking and watching my belly move... I mean, it can be slightly weird... but THEN... a random body part stuck WAAAAAYYYY out and rolled across my belly! I'll be honest, we both freaked out a little. It's cool and super weird all at once.

Food Cravings: It's not really just about cravings anymore. I might not even think I'm hungry, but I figure I better eat a little to make sure that I keep baby fed... and then I eat a little more, and more, and more, and more... and before I know it, I just finished pretty much everything on the table...

Anything making you queasy or sick: Greasy and salty foods do not appeal to me AT ALL now.

Started to show yet? I don't think there's any denying it any more.

Gender: Girl!

Belly Button in or out? It's an innie/flattie/outie??

Wedding Rings on or off? On

Weird Pregnancy Stuff? Passed my Gestational Diabetes test! BTW It really wasn't that bad! I had gotten a heads up from my friend Emily to get the Red drink - because it tastes like Hawaiian Punch. And I had heard from my friend Jennifer that the orange drink tastes HORRIBLE. So, I made sure to ask for the Red one. It really did taste like Hawaiian Punch! Now, granted, it was no fun just having plain toast for breakfast... but oh well.

 

The night before, I decided I COULD NOT TAKE THE HEARTBURN ANYMORE. I had went to bed a little early, and by the time that Ben had crawled in the bed, I was hopping out and running to the bathroom. My acid reflux had backed up into my mouth! I had to sleep sitting up the rest of the night. I told the Doctor and let me tell you, ZANTAC is a life saver. LIFE. SAVER.

 

I'm super emotional right now. Especially when it comes to babies. And babies being born. Birth stories make me cry with happiness... and when I say cry, I mean like uncontrollable sobbing. This week, like 4 babies were born (The new prince included!) and it makes me sooo happy.

I get worried (What's new?), worried about time running out, worried that my baby wont like me, etc, etc.

 

I've also become such a creeper. For quite a while now, I've had to fuss at Ben for checking out and talking to all the babies when we go out in public... but now, I'm the creeper checking out all of the babies. I'm obsessed! I'm checking out their clothes, their looks... cute little baby fat rolls and noses...  (what will my baby look like?!),  strollers and car seats...

 

 

Looking forward to: Holding my little baby!!
