26 Weeks Updates

Ack! How has it been a month since I last blogged.  I really wanted to do a better job of documenting pregnancy so I am planning on doing better :)

How far along?  26 WEEKS!

How big is the babe?  Supposedly 2 pounds..according to my pregnancy app, but he was a big boy at our last sono.  We have another in 3 weeks so I guess we will see!


Total weight gain/loss? Last appointment ( 1 week ago)  I was up 12 pounds.. Never thought I would be so happy to pack on weight :) I am guessing it is up, but I don't weigh at home.  It's still a little weird to see the numbers going up. 


Maternity clothes? Heck yes! That pony tail in your pant button trick did not work for me.  Most of my jeans are mid rise skinnies... They cut right across my belly so the second it grew I needed more waistband. The problem with the higher rise is the zipper DOES NOT STAY UP... I also found that belly bands kind of suck and don't stay down. This left me with a fear of having a lifted belly band exposing my very open zipper and my entire crotch area... plus maternity pants are the bomb! I think all jeans should be made with a giant stretchy panel at the top.  never any muffin or squeezing things closed.


Sleep? Ok...ish.  I pee about 4 times a night.  I am also having freaky weird pregnancy dreams.  The latest was that our baby boy's head was so big he didn't fit in his car seat so we couldn't leave the hopsital.  ( This all stemmed from seeing a photo of Austin as a new born.. monster dome!)


Best moment this week? I was visiting home in Salina and mom and I got to watch him kick at my belly. It bounces all over the place.


Symptoms?  Sorry if tmi, but c-o-n-s-t-i-p-a-t-i-o-n! Daily colace and miralax is helping though.  Apparently my bowels are being squished making operation difficult.  I am already full of baby and would prefer not to be even more full of sh*#. 

Food cravings?  Not really.. I still love mexican and ice cream, but that's nothing new.  Food aversions are mostly gone.. other than eggs and barbecue can still gross me out. 

Labor signs?  Nada... thank goodness! It's not time yet!


Belly button in or out? It's actually kind of flat... it's been flattening out for awhile now.  Weeks ago my niece, Reese, lifted my shirt and started rubbing it. I was a little freaked out because I hadn't noticed it looked like that yet. 


Wedding Ring off or on? On. No swelling so far. 


Bump? Getting bigger... We have officially popped and I love it!
