26 weeks


Baby girl is now the size of a head of lettuce. (14 in, 1.8 lb.)
Her eyelashes are now grown and she's getting her immune
system  ready for life on the outside by soaking up my antibodies.

How far along? 26 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Mostly yoga pants, cotton shorts and tanks when home. As the weather warms up though I'll be in ONLY dresses. So much easier and super comfy. 
Stretch marks? kNOck on wood!!! If I could swim in Bio Oil, I would. I do have a small scar on my tummy now though. Accidentally zipped my belly in my sweater zipper the other day. You'd think I'd realize I need to zip AROUND the belly by now!
Sleep: Let's just say sleep hasn't gotten any better. But what can I do? Just deal and sleep when I can, even if it's a twenty minute nap. Cheerios and a little yoga before bed definitely help.
Energy: Energy is nothing to complain about but I do start to burn out around 5-7pm everyday. Always a toss up if I decide to take a nap at that time or not. If I do, I'll be up til 3 AM for sure. (The Office on Netflix is a life saver)
Best moment this week: Soaking up some sunshine.
Have you told family and friends: Of course. Just waiting to run into friends who still have no idea. Kind of fun when that happens. :)
Miss Anything? A hard run at the gym.
Movement: She's been a bit more calm recently. Think she's just taking her time choreographing this week's new aerobic routine. Gotta switch it up. ;)
Food cravings: Still can't get away from the McDonald's ice cream cones!!! And cutting back on In N Out hasn't really happened yet. Had my blood glucose test last week and In N Out was my best friend immediately after. (P.S. Don't let people scare you about the Glucose test. The stuff doesn't taste that bad. Only thing that sucks is the fasting and almost passing out for me, but make sure your phone is fully charged, you have something to read and the hours will fly by. But pass the first time so you don't have to go back. hehe).
Food aversions: Hmm. I eat everything. :D  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Probably not the best idea to eat the entire bowl of pudding, but surprisingly I didn't feel too bad after. 
Have you started to show yet: Every morning I wake up and swear belly has grown.  
Gender prediction: Little princess! 
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms: Lower back pain is not the business. Just have to remember to take my time standing up, getting out of bed and slow down when picking up the little dog.
Belly Button in or out? Still in but the spot where it used to be pierced is oddly sticking out above it. Not too worried though. Makes me giggle when I look down and see it through my shirt.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Neutral/Happy.
Looking forward to: Hearing her heartbeat at my next doc appointment tomorrow. <3
