26 Weeks

How far along? 26 (as of 3/11/2013)

How is there only 14 weeks left?!

Gender: GIRL 

Maternity clothes?  Hair band, tummy sleeve, regular shirts.  Also, had to move the bra out to the middle clip.  I was having some excruciating pain just under my left breast.  It was actually to the point that there was a lump type reaction.  Not necessarily a lump, but the muscle was all bunched up and swollen.  At first I got scared that I had a clogged milk duct or something already.  My sister had these in both of her pregnancy.  I took a day off work because of a bad cold that wouldn't go away and went bra-less all day.  Along with that and using a warm compress I was able to get the swelling down and the change in bra latch helped a ton.

Stretch marks? [Same] Not yet.  I'm thankful that up to this point, I've really only changed in the belly region.  My legs aren't growing, my ass etc.  My boobs, yes. And I imagine they'll definitely have stretch marks of some kind.  But who cares? Not going to lie, I've got a "boob fund" started to get these babies nipped and tucked after we're done having kids


Sleep: Good grief, the spring forward didn't not give me any spring in my day.  Instead, despite 12 (well actually 11 hours now that I think about it) of sleep I was sluggish and out of sorts all day until about 5 pm.  I should've just taken a unisom right then and there.  Instead I was super woman, grocery shopping, banana bread baking, laundry etc.  So other than Sunday night after the Spring Forward, sleep is about the same.  I get 7-8 hours during the week and 11-12 hours on the weekends.  


Movement: Yes.  She's a jumping bean in the mornings and evenings.

Food cravings: These come and go.  Nothing is a permanent fixture for long.  


What I Miss? Tanning.

Symptoms? Pregnant!  So all of the above.
Best moment this week:  Got the call about the wood for the flooring! Should be able to pick it up this week.  And the weather! We had two 50 some degree days.  It was glorious.  Hopefully this means the weather is gonna take a nice change.


Looking forward to: [Same] Finishing the baby's room. Once that floor is done and in, I can get started.  I've noticed some "nesting" has started to kick in.  Stupid things, that I normally don't fee inclined to do, suddenly needs done immediately.  For example, I don't clean my car.  I know, gross.  But I just don't.  This weekend resulted in a full clean sweep for the CRV and she's looking good.  Confession: the husband totally did it while the dogs and I sat back and watched.

  1. Hahaha- I never clean my car either! I wait till I get an oil change and they always vacuum and wipe down the surfaces (the only reason I go to this place!) I find myself WANTING everything clean, but never having enough motivation to do it right then and there..maybe it kicks in week 25-26? :-) And HOLY COW- 14 weeks to go for you!!!!! It seems unreal, such a long journey that goes by in the blink of an eye, how does that even make sense?!
