Bumpdate - Week 26

What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a head of lettuce, measuring 14" long and weighs one and two thirds of a pound. She continues to put on fat, which we saw in her 3D ultrasound, and she is inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid. These movements are essential for the development of the lungs and are also good practice for when she is born and takes that first gulp of air.

What's been going on with mom? I have been super anxious to see the 3D/4D ultrasound. The guessing game on who she will look like was keeping us entertained. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I was super nervous about the appointment, but I'll share more on that subject later! Baby girl DEFINITELY has popped out to say hello. I look down and can see the belly officially without any problems. Sleep has been better, but as always it comes and goes. I had my first official cry over nothing moment too. I'll explain that later.

Symptoms: Still heartburn. I never know what causes it either....I had grapes and got heartburn! WTH? The charlie horses in the middle of the night are new and happen pretty frequently now.

Yummy/Icky: Cravings are pretty few and far between but anything sweet sounds good at all times. Give me fruit still, it sounds oh so yummo!

Clothing: Bought some stuff from Old Navy because they were having a maternity sale and an extra 30% off. I got a maxi dress to wear to my B.I.L's Sheriff graduation this weekend, a comfy maxi skirt, a new tank, and a casual henley top. My mom also got me a cute maxi dress from Target, seen in the photo above!! The girls just keep growing! It's really hard to see them THAT large!

Movement: It seems like the movement is happening more frequently. The day we had our 3D U/S she was wiggling like mad most of the day. It was awesome to see her move on the screen and feel her at the same time.

Belly Button In/Out: In, seriously shallow when I lie down however. The belly no longer lies flat. Lol

Wedding Rings On/Off: On

Best Moment this Week: Definitely the ultrasound. It was so cool!

Looking forward to: Finishing our registries! It's a beast doing that!
