26 Weeks




How far along? 26 weeks. It remains in question when the third trimester begins, but we are getting close! Baby is the size of a cucumber and is continuing to put on fat. Hes inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid – essential to develop the lungs. Hell be ready to scream in no time!

Total weight gain: 15 pounds.

Maternity Clothes:  All maternity pants and most tops. I havent  tried a non-maternity top in a while, but Im sure a few would still work.

Stretch Marks: None yet.

Sleep: Good, except for 4-5 bathroom breaks per night.  

Best Moment this Week: Running the Vulcan 10k with baby boy!  

Miss anything? I thought I was going to die refraining from sugar an entire day before my glucose test. Oh, the humanity. Think Im addicted?  


Movement: After running on Saturday, he was so quiet all day, it made me nervous. I asked the doctor about it at my appointment, and she said as long as he has an active hour within 24 hours, were good. He needs to rest too – and running probably chills him out. If only that will work come Spring 


Food Cravings: 
Nothing exciting here. Salty more than sweet.

Food Cravings: Nothing exciting here. Salty more than sweet.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Back to the first trimester nausea after eating. 

Exercise: 
Keeping it up. Trying to figure out the challenge of darkness after work – Its hard to stay motivated, so I feel like I will do best to get most of my workouts done in the morning.

Gender: All blue!

Labor signs: Negative.

Symptoms:  Really feel very fortunate to have had an easy pregnancy so far.

Most looking forward to: The crib arriving and getting the dresser put together. Curtains, bedding and rug are here, so it should come together quickly once the furniture gets in.
