BUMPdate - 26 WEEKS



How Far Along: 26 weeks. 14 to go!
Baby Size: 15 inches, 2.2 pounds (Cucumber…but seriously, have you ever seen a cucumber that big?!)
Total Weight Gain: I’m guessing about 15 pounds. My next appointment is on May 9th so we’ll find out the ugly truth then!
Maternity Clothes? Pretty much all maternity at this point. My tshirts, yoga pants, gym shorts, and any extra long pre-preggo shirts still fit, but pants/shorts and everything else are maternity. Most of my regular shirts are no longer working.
Stretch Marks? Nope.
Sleep: I’m exhausted. Not sure if that’s because it’s the 3rd trimester or if because my quality of sleep at night is terrible. Probably both. But I have to nap at least once a day to make it to 9pm.
Best moment this week: Little L’s first Baby Shower! My sweet friends Megan, Kendall and Abby hosted it and it was wonderful! My mom came down for the weekend and we got quite a few things for Little L’s room. The shower was adorable and we received the cutest outfits and lots of books!
Miss Anything? Coke, cold turkey lunchmeat, queso from the Mexican restaurant down the road.
Movement: She’s finally making her presence known! I still haven’t felt an actual kick or anything strong, but I’ve felt a little movement every day for the last 5 days. That’s the most consistent she’s been! I’m still unable to do the “10 in 2” kick counts (there’s just not enough movement for that), but I’m happy to know she’s moving around finally!
Food Cravings: Frozen drinks (like slurpees, icee’s, frozen pink lemonade from taco bell), any kind of lemonade actually, yogurt, and candy.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Having an empty stomach and heartburn…the heartburn has gotten outrageous. Tums are now my new best friend.
Gender: Hoping she’s still a girl ;)
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly button in or out? Innie, but getting much more shallow!
Wedding rings on or off? On, but right now, my fingers are so swollen I can’t them off. Perhaps it’s time to think about a cheapo replacement.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy!
Looking forward to: Visiting my best friend and her new baby boy this weekend!
