26 Week Bumpdate

26 Week Bumpdate

size of the baby: kale – about 14 inches, and over 2 pounds!

total weight gain: about 17 pounds

gender: BOY! BOY! BOY! We got to see him again on an ultrasound this week and there is no doubt that he is a boy.

clothes: Maternity tanks mixed with normal tops. & Maternity leggings and jeans. Jeans are starting to get slightly uncomfortable as my stomach gets bigger but they work.

movement: There’s an all day dance party in my belly 24/7.

sleep: I have still been sleeping good this week. I had a slight cold so I have had a little trouble with that but nothing pregnancy related.

missing: my normal body. You forget how big you get pregnant, lol.

craving: hmm… not too much right now. I got my thin crust pizza this week and it was glorious.

symptoms: Not too many symptoms this week besides normal pregnancy discomfort.

kevin is: excited for Christmas this weekend, all of our family coming in town and our Friend Christmas party tomorrow night!

looking forward to: All of the family and friend time this coming week. We will have constant company between our friends, my parents and Kevin’s family.

best moments: We had a sonogram Monday and it was great to get to see our little man again. He is growing good and all looked good. We are hoping the shots keep doing their job! 7 more to go!
