How far along? 26 Weeks
Size of Baby: Head of lettuce
Total weight gain/loss: probably still about 10lbs.
Best moment this week: Spending some time with Wes’ family and getting to celebrate our little one with our first shower! It was so good to see his family along with some of his aunts and friends.
Miss Anything? Nothing really this week. I still have a hard time getting comfortable but that’s just part of it!
Movement: So much movement! Now if I am eating on the couch or somewhere that my plate is on my lap/belly, the baby will kick it and move it! 🙂
Food cravings: Watermelon and m&ms 🙂
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week, feeling good!
Gender prediction: Still thinking the same.
Labor Signs: nope
Symptoms: major hip pain, achy back and can’t get comfy, it’s now rare to get to sleep through the night, and a hearty appetite.
Belly Button in or out? In, although it is starting to look more flat
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Well, I have poison ivy. 🙁 I must have gotten it from where we take Simba to play. In trying to stay completely med free through pregnancy, I am not even using Cortizone cream so I am having to find other methods to help handle the itching! So far rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, drying it out with a hair dryer and Burt’s Bees poison ivy soap is helping so much! I really hope that it starts healing soon! I was bummed that I didn’t get to play and hold my nieces so I wouldn’t spread it on to them. 🙁 So I have been happy for the most part this week but just a little uncomfortable!
Looking forward to: Getting more stuff for baby! Now that we are starting to hit 3rd tri, Wes is starting to even feel like we need to be collecting some stuff for baby so let the shopping begin!! 🙂
