26 Weeks




How far along? 26 weeks! 

Baby J Jr. is as big as: a head of Lettuce 13.6-14.8 inches and 1.5-2.5 pounds {the bump.com}

Total weight gain: 17lbs. WHY am I gaining weight sooo fast with this pregnancy... ugh 

Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans for sure... still normal tops for the most part. 

Stretch marks? None yet- fingers crossed. I have a feeling some reason they're going to pop up soon. 

Sleep: Not terrible as long as I find my "comfortable" position before bed. Typically it's on my right side. I cannot sleep on my left side, it hurts my whole hip/pelvic area incredibly way too much and in return I hurt if i try to move at night. I can't really sleep on my back as I've hit the "short of breath" stage when I lay like that. Some nights I get up to use the restroom but most nights I can sleep right through. I do get SUPER hot at night, so I tend to sleep better when Jon is at the station and don't have to share the bed!   

Best moment this week: It's been a pretty low key week. I have started working/ordering somethings for his nursery so that's been good.   

Miss Anything? Not feeling full super quick. Walking up stairs without feeling out of breath and being able to bend over quickly to get something from the ground :) 

Movement: Yes! More and more every day too. Its fun to feel him move, it's probably one of my favorite things about being pregnant. 

Food cravings: Nothing really. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Besides eating too much makes me feel super tight and gross. 

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs: Too early for that crazy talk!  

Symptoms: For the most part I've been feeling good. I have a little back pain and by the end of the day my fingers tend to swell. I am struggling again with the pelvic pains since my kids apparently like to sit low. Acid reflux on and off too. 

Belly Button in or out? Half is in- half is out- I kid you not. 

Wedding rings on or off? On most the time. They're tight though... i'm sure by 3rd tri they'll be off for good. Makes me sad but I knew between summer and my swelling they'd be long gone. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. Nervous. Wore out! 

Looking forward to: Our trip to Omaha! We're taking Cooper to the zoo memorial day weekend! :) 

Cooper moment: This moment is a good Cooper moment but last week he boycotted his big boy bed. He did great for a couple weeks then all of a sudden he hated it and figured out how to get out and open his door so it was a battle at nap time getting him to stay in his bed. A couple days I didn't fight it and he fell asleep in my bed and one day didn't nap at all. Sunday rolled around and I told Jon it was his turn and he literally sat outside of Coopers room and put him back in his bed every.single.time he got out... then he finally just left his door open a little and he stayed in his bed. Weird, apparently after 2 years of having his door shut he decided he didn't like it shut. Ever since we read a book at nap and he sleeps with his books (one HAS to be pout pout fish) and he has no issues. whew. glad that phase didn't last long.
