26 Weeks

Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, the size of an English cucumber…14 inches and about a pound.  But she was almost 2 pounds at the ultrasound!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up almost 8 pounds from pre-pregnancy

Maternity Clothes: Oh yeah…full time now.  I can still wear pajama pants and Noah’s t-shirts around the house, but maternity clothes all the way in public.

Gender: It’s a GIRL!  Emma Ramey

Belly Button In/Out: Still working its way out.  It stretches a little more every day!

Stretch Marks: None, thank goodness! I have a feeling they’re coming though…my skin on my stomach has felt like it’s stretched to its limit this week.

Movement: We’re back to moving most of the night now.  She really gets going in the late afternoon and parties all night…I’m a really heavy sleeper, but Noah said every time he woke up last night he could feel her moving!

Sleep: Still on that weird sleep schedule.  Having some incredibly strange dreams, but beside that, good.

What I miss: Not much of anything!

What I am looking forward to: Christmas!

Cravings/Aversions: Still just wanting to eat everything in sight.

Symptoms: Minor pain here and there, Braxton Hicks like crazy…doctor assures me they’re ok though.  Shortness of breath at times.

Best Moment This Week: Seeing that sweet face!
