Week 26...


How far along?  26 weeks! She's about 1.5-2 pounds now which is crazy to think how much she's grown!
Total weight gain/measurements: Started at 142 and have gained... 15 pounds so far! 
Maternity clothes: Finally order some maternity clothes (pants mainly) from Target.. waiting for them to arrive, and hopefully they fit since in store they didn't have much to choose from.
Stretch marks: Not yet...
Sleep: AMAZING!!!! So they have this thing that ladies use during pregnancy (pregnancy pillows in the shape of a C) and wow it's made me sleep so much better!!!! It gives great support to my back, but my poor husband has been waking up during the night due to me now snoring from this pillow. lol, I NEVER snore unless I'm sick, and this pillow had no warning of starting new bad habits... ie snoring. I am starting to get pain in my ribs though when I sleep on them too long, so since everything is growing and moving so much, it's a little tougher to stay comfy the WHOLE night. 
Best moment this week: In the past week our sweet neighbors (Sam & Alicia) have given us tons of adorable baby girl clothes from their little girl. It made it so amazing to think/imagine of our little girl wearing some of these cute outfits, and FINALLY Carlos has 2 little outfits that have something about daddy on them. Daddy's Princess, and Daddy stole my heart (something to that affect w/the 2nd one). He was definitely happy, as most stores don't have much about daddy, and everything about mama.
Miss anything? Not having pain in my ribs, BUT it's worth it to know my girl is growing as much as she is.
Movement: I sure have a LOT of movement going on. She's been messing with her daddy though and when he tries to feel her move, she gives light kicks that he can barely feel and she tends to stop. Last night he did get to feel a lot more as I laid on my back for a few minutes to get her moving, and to help my back (as it's one of the best ways for my back to feel better, but can't do it long for her sake)
Food cravings: Ice cream!!!! I've been wanting it almost daily, but trying to not eat it that much.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope! :)
Gender:  baby girl
Labor signs: none as of yet
Symptoms: none yet
Belly button in or out? Still an innie! Trying to push out, but NOT YET! 
Wedding rings on or off? ON! :)
Happy or moody most of the time: Sleepy! Definitely smiling though, as I know this is permanent. 
Looking forward to: Finishing up our basement before she arrives, getting to pick out the colors we want to paint her room, having our next Bradley class on Sunday teaching me how to push when the time comes, and doing her registry (I think this weekend). It's quite exciting to get to look at potential things we will have for her! :)


Weeks 25 & 26 (no my belly button isn't sticking out, the shirt has a crease right there)
