Week 26 ~ Baby Lettuce!


How far along? 26 weeks down, less than 100 days left!
Weight gain? I definitely picked up the pace - almost 5 pounds last month! Up to 12.2 pounds total!
Maternity clothes? Yes! I'm still squeezing into some regular shirts, but as you can tell from this photo- they are getting a bit short!
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: I'm sleeping well.... as long as I don't eat too late and wake up with nasty heartburn :-/ There was even ONE night last week when I slept the ENTIRE night and didn't wake up once! I didn't even get up to go to the bathroom! I can't even remember the last time that has happened. 
Best moment this week: PASSING the glucose test! I was really nervous about it because so many of my friends have failed it... and I was nervous about the potential negative impact of my ice-cream habit.
Movement: He moves so much these days! There was even one day this week when he kicked so  hard and abruptly it actually startled me!
Food cravings: I haven't been able to make it a fully day without sugar. Yes this is the same as last week - it's still true :-(
Anything making you queasy or sick: Have I mentioned the heartburn? I think I'm going to start a research project about heartburn and conduct a study on the MANY available remedies until I find the magic solution! Suggestions welcome!!!! I know one solution is eating smaller portions and giving up sugar... clearly I'm not capable of such difficult requirements.
Labor signs: No.
Symptoms: I feel really good! I'm so lucky to not have any swelling or back-pain!
Belly button in or out? In, but I'm definitely noticing it's getting more shallow.
Wedding rings on or off? On! I'm curious how much longer I'll be able to wear them, it seems like a lot of other people can't wear them at this point. 
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy happy happy!
Looking forward to: I'm really excited to get baby shower invites mailed out next week! Suddenly things seem to be coming up quickly!
