26 weeks

Thursday, February 20, 2014


How far along: 26 weeks, 5 days (and wearing the same outfit that I did during week 24... whoopers!)  
Size comparison:  Baby H. is the size of a scallion (so they say.)  
14 inches long and 1.66 lbs 
Baby nickname:  Chupa
Baby bump:  I feel ginormous.
Gender Prediction:  Boy!  I always refer to the baby as "he" and in my head, I call him by his name.  I'm going to have a hard time adjusting if Baby H. is indeed a "she!"  Although I did get my 5th girl guess today.
Weight gain: 17.5 lbs, right after lunch. ;-)
Maternity clothes: Yes!  My regular t-shirts are now belly shirts and my comfy pants aren't quite so comfy any more.
Stretch marks: Nada
Belly button in or out:  Still in!
Wedding rings on or off:  Wedding band on.
Sleep: Meh.  I have my good nights and my not-so-good nights.  On my good nights I sleep like a log.
Best moment this week:  Another good doctor's appointment!  Thankful to my doctor for putting all my fears at bay.  I bet she rolls her eyes when she sees my name on her patient list!
Worst moment this week:  Thinking earlier in the week that I was at risk for pre-eclampisa.  Yep, I'm crazy.  Nope, not at risk at all at this point.
Miss anything:  I salivate at the thought of a #9 (Italian Night Club) from Jimmy Johns.  No mayo and no onion.  Add hot peppers.  First person to bring this to the hospital after delivery gets dibs on the baby. ;-)  A Stella or a Boulevard wouldn't hurt either!
Movement:  Lots and lots of it!  10:00pm and 4:00am are Baby Hawk's party times.  Baby is very quiet after Mom's workouts.
Cravings:  Brown sugar and cinnamon anything!!! Especially cereal and almonds.
Queasy or sick:  Overall, feeling great!  A little tired the last couple days with some sinus pressure/congestion and headaches.  Nothing crazy and nowhere near as bad as I had earlier in 2nd trimester.
Happy or moody: Happy!!  I had a great week!  
Looking forward to:  Relaxing and organizing this weekend. This momma needs some rest!
