26 weeks

How far along: 26 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a head of lettuce; still measuring between 13.6 and 14.8 inches and weighing between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: a couple pounds up from my pre-pregnancy weight this week - probably can blame some of the faster than desired weight gain on the muffins I bought at costco... oh well - still on track for <20 lbs total gained

How I'm Changing: still having pretty dry skin - probably due as much to winter as to pregnancy

Maternity Clothes:  nothing new this week - just trying to rotate through my limited wardrobe but getting to the point where I just don't care if I wear the same thing every week


25w1d - pretty sure I wear this shirt at least once a week
Gender: baby boy 

Movements: lots of kicks/head butts - he is quite the active little boy :-)

Sleep: still waking up several times a night to adjust my position and get comfortable but the snoogle is really helping keep me comfortable

Symptoms:  some back and abdominal pain as baby is growing; dry itchy skin

How I'm feeling: I've been more tired with some longer days at work recently... the OB has been pressuring me to only work 8-9 hours a day max but with the new computer system being implemented in less than 70 days (10 weeks from yesterday actually) we are all really feeling the crunch and some days just have to be longer than that... I do try to sit down when I can and put my feet up when I'm in my office but overall I am definitely noticing how I feel when I'm putting in the extra hours 

What I Miss: nothing new... red wine, sushi

Cravings: nothing specific 

Best Moment(s) of the Week: this was not a particularly fabulous week but it was very cool the other night to see the baby move from the outside :-)

What I am Looking Forward To: I don't know if I am looking forward to it exactly but I need to get all the clothes we got sorted and pick some of it to wash along with all the other stuff (bedding, swaddler blankets, etc...) it is all just sitting in the nursery on the floor right now so that needs to be addressed - maybe next weekend... :-)
