Personal Post: 26 Weeks Prego Post :)


How far along? 26 Weeks

Total weight gain: 16 1/2 lbs. I was shocked I only gained a 1/2 a pound since I had been eating so many sweets. My hubby has been baking up a storm. 

Maternity clothes? YES :) I've been in them since about 12 weeks. I started showing alot sooner this time around, which I hear is pretty normal. All my normal jeans just got too tight and my Bellaband didn't last as long. 

Stretch marks? Still no stretch marks thank goodness :)

Sleep: I sleep well like every other day. After a night of not getting a good amount of sleep, I tend to sleep pretty good the next. I do find myself tossing and turning quite a bit trying to get comfortable. When I was pregnant with Riley I slept with a body pillow which helped. It might be time to break that out again. My hubby got it out of the garage for me. I slept with my body pillow one night and I still wasn't comfy. 

Best moment last week: I got to go visit my best friends from college. One is pregnant like me and the other has a 3 month old we finally got to meet. We also got ultrasounds at this pregnancy spa so we got to see each others little ones on the screen!- So much fun :)

Miss Anything? We're getting excited to upgrade RIley's room to a big girl room since this little one in my belly needs her crib. We went recently and picked RIley the cutest owl bedding and room decor. It's also pastel colors. Hopefully she will love it. 

Movement: I mainly feel her moving at night when I roll over to go to sleep. She kicks quite a bit. She has started moving and kicking alot when she is hungry and so she reminds me I need to eat. It's been hard to eat on a schedule during the day since I've been so busy at my full time job, but I love feeling her move!

Food cravings: I heart pineapple. I can seriously eat a can all in one sitting. I love orange/pineapple juice. I've also discovered pineapple coconut ice cream. It is just too yummy :) Still loving my pineapple

Anything making you queasy or sick: The only times I've been getting queasy is in the mornings when my tummy is empty or if I get too hot in the shower

Gender: It's a GIRL

Labor Signs: None yet thankfully

Symptoms: Just tired, but working through it. I'm having some pain my hips, but its just part of it. I know I could something like prenatal yoga, but for those that know me personally you know I'm too lazy for that - lol :)

Belly Button in or out? It's out and has been for quite a while 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on. I will be removing them soon. I just know it. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: For the most part I'm happy. I find myself frustrated when things get hectic at work, so I have my moody moments. But so does every pregnant woman.

Looking forward to: Our family vacation next month. Hoping to get the nursery started, go home to visit family, and take Riley to the aquarium and zoo that week. Maybe even get some family/maternity pics taken. We will see what all I fit in. I will be 33 weeks around that time, so I'm hoping we can fit it all in. 


If you are pregnant and blogging, how are you documenting your pregnancy??

    Seriously?? I didn't even know something like that existed. That's so cool.
