last week in the 2nd tri

* First I wanted to note that I just got a call from my brother, who WILL be joining us for Thanksgiving!! I cannot wait to see him! We'll be having 5 adults and two crazy dogs... should be entertaining! :-) *


Weekly Review

How far along? 26 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: +10 lb total

Maternity clothes? Oh yeah... I put on some pre-maternity pants this past weekend to paint in, couldn't even get the zipper halfway up. My more average lengthed shirts are starting to be too short now too.

Stretch marks? None on the belly.

Sleep: Good... I've actually gotten better about night wakings to pee, normally only 1 now, and I sleep soundly the rest of the time. (Of course I say that, but had the worst night of sleep ever last night. Ugh.)

Best moment this week: Getting to hear the heartbeat at the docs this morning. Plus, getting it on the recorder so Trav can put it in a build-a-bear for me! :-)

Movement: Yup, bopping/rolling/kicking away in there.

Food cravings: Avocado rolls still... plus anything creamy and full of carbs, but that's nothing new!

Actual Gender: GIRL! :-)

Labor Signs: Nope, but have started with the Braxton-Hicks.

Belly Button in or out? Innie, but barely!

What I miss: Normal feeling ribs, all the sushi I can eat.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out if I passed the glucose test (did this morning), so I hopefully don't have to do the 3 hr version! Plus, 3rd trimester!

Weekly Wisdom: Hang in thru the bad parts, because the good parts are amazing and so worth it!

Milestones: Last week in the 2nd Tri! I can't believe how fast its going.
