26 Weeks

26 Weeks Update.

  

Or, as I like to call it - 99 DAYS LEFT.  We are in double digits, people.

How far along: 26 Weeks

Gender: BOY!

Weight gain: Surprisingly slow.  I think -10 to 8 lbs now.  Midwife said it was fine if I was eating healthy.  I told her I eat a lot of Fruit Loops.

Maternity clothes: Yes, all others have been banished for a good 3-5 months

Stretch marks: One new one, just above my bellybutton.

Belly button in or out: Neither.  It's flat and pulled tight.  My scar from my hernia repair 15 years ago is so little and visible!

Best moment this week: Swimming with Ben, Felix, Beth, Ari and The Fury.  Felix had a BLAST.  Went down the slide, played ball, kicked and splashed.  Such fun.

Worst moment this week: I ate six Olive Garden breadsticks and pasta.  I was up until like 1 AM griping about my stomach.  Worth. it. 

Miss anything: Reisling, and now with the "good" weather I want to go kayaking so badly.

Movement: Lots and lots.  Went to EMP yesterday and he was rocking out to Jimmy Hendrix.

Cravings: Caramel Frappuchinos and anything strawberry flavored.

Queasy or sick: I puked twice this week.  Random, weird and I blame vegetables.

Mood: Mostly good!  I'm happy and agreeable as long as I get exactly what I want when I want it.  

Looking forward to: Painting baby's room, massively cleaning the house and garage, finishing up landscaping, knocking out projects.  Nesting = getting shit done.
