Baby #2 Bumpdate: 26 Weeks

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? Not much new around the mom areas.....work, home, mom, sleep.....repeat. I just can't wait to be able to catch up on some sleep........in 20 years. I have been trying to get back on my laps and walking.....trying to average more steps per day to keep the weight down.

Symptoms: Heartburn and appendages falling asleep.....that really sucks when that happens. Also, I thought that this was just residual from the cold that I had back in July but I constantly feel like I need to blow my nose. Always. So annoying.

Yummy/Icky: Same as this week last time.....sweets and fruit! Anything else just doesn't sound good. Trying to be better about snacking and falling into the cravings.

Clothing: Same clothes on a rotation.

Movement: She's moving up. Especially when I am lying down, but she still loves to be shy. The other morning Darin asked if she was moving and I told him no. As soon as he put his hand on my belly she kicked him. Lol. He said "yes she is!" Well she hadn't been up to that point.

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

Wedding Rings On/Off: Still off.....praying to get them back on soon.

Best Moment this Week: We bought Emma's big girl bedding....its going to be SO CUTE!

Looking forward to: A break.....rest.
