Week 26 Bumpdate!

26 weeks!

Mommy and Peanut!

Thought this would be a good week to compare my bumps :)
Pretty similar in size I think.....

How far along? 26 weeks - 14 weeks to go :)

Baby size: still a papaya - weight approx 1.4-2.2 lb. (that's a lot of baby) length approx 13-15 inches

Maternity clothes: Yep, loving them!

Stretch marks: A few darker ones.

Sleep: Comes and goes, better then it has been.

Gender: GIRL :)

Best moments of the week: Spending time with my Meredith. The closer my due date gets the more I realize my days of just me and MerBear are numbered. Going to miss it just being the two of us :(

Looking forward to: our trip to Florida - 2 weeks until we leave :D Can't wait for warmer weather and less snow :/

What I miss: my energy level, moving around easier, less aches and pains.

Movement: All the time! She is practicing her karate moves in there. Meredith hit me in the stomach with her knee the other night. Peanut did not like that - she kicked right back and kicked hard!

Food Cravings: Fruit and sweets :) Hoping for some good seafood in Florida.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing in particular - just comes on when it wants to.

Labor signs: Nope.

Symptoms: Back pain! And Braxton Hicks contractions - never had them like this with Meredith. Starting on limited duty and work this week. Hoping it helps me not be so sore and tired all week long after working all weekend.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Happy and relieved!

Nursery: Nothing new to mention.

She looks bigger this week!
