{26} Weeks

How far along: 26 Weeks

                                                       Weeks to go: 14 give or take a few!

Baby is the size of: Scallion

Gender Prediction: Girl

Weight gain: ??
Symptoms: Those hips are a killin' me! I'm tossing and turning a lot at night. Legs seem to fall asleep easily. 

Mood: Kind of a roller coaster. I'm emotional about Trice not being an only child anymore, how I'm possibly going to give them both the attention they deserve, depressed about my best friend moving away, excited, all of the above. 

Maternity clothes: But seriously .. who outgrows maternity clothes?! I even busted out the post partum underwear today!

Cravings: Sweets .. per usual.

Aversions: Meat/Chicken just don't really sound good. 

Belly button in or out: You could probably just call it an alien.. 

Sleep: A little rough this week!

Movement: This baby is a mover! I'm loving it. I love seeing it move across my tummy .. such a wonderful feeling.

Labor Signs: None. 

Best moment this week: One day Trice woke up from his nap and wanted to snuggle (yes, please!). We then spent the next hour just sitting on my bed reading books and doing puzzles. It was Heavenly. 

Worst moment this week: Just going back to being busy .. work, small group, AWANA, meetings .. it led to a migraine!

Miss anything: Trice fitting on my lap to read books or lying on my lap to brush his teeth .. and my jeans and t-shirts.

Trice's Thoughts this Week: Baby is HIS baby. He's ready for baby to come out. He's very curious about when he was a baby.

Baby is the size of: Ear of corn

Gender Prediction: Girl

Weight gain: 19.6ish lbs. (Nick and I forgot by the time we got home..)

Mood: Amazing! I'm pretty sure that's just because Nick has been home to help out all week!

Maternity clothes: Pretty sure they won't fit soon..

Cravings: MILK

Aversions: None.

Belly button in or out: You could probably just call it an alien.. 

Sleep: A little better this week!

Movement: We were sitting on the couch, and I grabbed Benny's hand and put it on my belly to feel the baby kicking. All of a sudden, he looked at me with this mortified expression. I looked down and sure enough - you could see and feel a body part sticking out. It was kind of cool, kind of creepy, and kind of made me squirm. We are thinking it was a leg... 

Labor Signs: None. 

Best moment this week: Snuggling with Trice every morning, New Year's Eve with some friends, Benny having several days off (loved it!)

Worst moment this week: ??? 

Miss anything: Trice fitting on my lap!

Trice's Thoughts this Week: The night of our appointment, he prayed telling Jesus thank you for baby and then made the heartbeat sound. Oh my heart.

Appointment Notes: Heartbeat 154.
