26 Weeks


Size of baby: as long as an English cucumber

Total Weight Gain: 9 lbs total

Continuing symptoms: Belly is officially past my boobs. I Feeling more confident in my maternity clothes now that the bump actually looks and feels like a baby bump. Lower back is really starting to ache. Not only do I have to pee frequently but when I go to the bathroom I only tinkle.

New symptoms this week: My hands and feet are very swollen, especially my feet. My shoes are getting tighter and my feet ache after wearing shoes and walking for extended periods of time. Getting harder to roll over from side to side.

Sleep: Getting up more frequently to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, multiple times, just to tinkle. Still going to bed early.

What I'm Eating: Reeces peanut butter cup cereal.

Cravings: Trumoo chocolate milk, Souplantation salad (not homemade)

Grandma gift this week: 2 pairs of maternity pants.

Special pregnancy moments:  On Monday I had a terrible dream and I woke up Troy to tell him about it. Once I wake up early in the morning so does baby girl. I laid on my side and Troy put his hand and arm on my belly. He got to feel her kick and feel her move around in my belly. It was so special to experience her moving with him since she is most active when he is getting ready for work or is already gone. Excited that next Friday I will officially be in my 3rd trimester.
