26 Week Bumpdate

26 Week Bump Shot

How far along? 26 weeks- 6 months - 2nd trimester

Total weight gain: 143 lbs, up 2 lbs from last week...18 lbs total so far. 

Maternity clothes: Definitely in maternity gear and loving my bump right now. Can't he just stay this size forever? Getting SO BIG! 

Stretch marks? Still nothing- feeling incredibly lucky! 

Sleep: It's so awful. I cannot sleep through the night. Either I have to pee. Or my heartburn wakes me up. Or I wake up so thirsty. Or the dog wakes me up because she's thirsty (it's freezing out, so we've been blasting the heat a bit higher than normal to make sure our pipes don't freeze like last year). It's awful. I'm not kidding when I say every hour I'm checking my phone. UGH. I feel like I'll never sleep again, lol. 

Best moment this week:  I went to brunch with two of my best friends, Deena and Krista, and Carli came along. She was so well-behaved. Just slept the entire time like a complete angel baby. It was so nice to hang out with my friends and catch up, and to be comforted that I can try to be as mobile as possible with Landon once he's here. 

Miss anything?  Coffee and wine, per usual. I do miss being able to do more serious workouts. Work has been stressful, so it would be nice to do spinning or something that's a little more intense to burn off more steam. 

Movement:  SO MUCH THIS WEEK! I'm loving it. He's responding to music and light, which is so cool. And he even pokes back when I poke a little at his kicks when he makes my whole belly bounce or ripple. I love it- we're already playing! 

Food cravings: Chocolate milk, bananas, granola, and kiwis! The kiwis is definitely a new craving- haha. I got a HUGE box at the grocery store. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Seafood as always.

Gender: Still a BOY! 

Labour signs: None, and hope it stays that way! 

Symptoms: Round ligament pain, lots of aching particularly on the left side of my belly, but both sides are sore at random times, insomnia, heartburn, nasal congestion, and a very weird tingly sensation under my left boob. It normally happens after I eat. I'm not sure if it's my stomach bunched up in there since he's getting so much bigger and it has no place to go. It's so weird.  

Belly button in or out? Still in, but the top is starting to pop and it's freaking me out! 

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy- I feel like this pregnancy is flying!  

Looking forward to: Possibly driving down to Columbus for my friend Maddie's shower if the weather permits. Also, I've been nesting and selling things on Craiglist, so I'm just excited to get more settled and ready for Mr. Landon! :)
