How far along? 26 weeks and 3 days
Total weight gain/loss? Up 26.7 pounds. But at least it's not "rapid weight gain"...then again, we'll see what my doctor says on Monday at my next appointment...7.8 pounds in 4 weeks sounds somewhat rapid to me. I also have the dreaded glucose test on Monday - here's hoping that I pass with flying colors and do not have to take the 3 hour test/have gestational diabetes.
Maternity clothes? You could say we're having a love affair.
Stretch marks? If there are any new ones I haven't really noticed them. Varicose veins on the other hand. WTF?
Sleep? Decent. I am getting up once per night to pee and have had some very strange dreams this week but luckily I'm pretty comfortable despite the whole not-sleeping-on-your-back thing.
Best moment last week? Spending time with my brother and nephew and seeing Lukas and his cousin play and laugh together. They were just so sweet with each other and kept hugging. Also, there have been some big potty training breakthroughs this week with Lukas that I won't bore you with, but they've been really exciting for him and us! I think a flip switched after he saw/realized that his big cousin doesn't wear diapers and uses the potty.
Movement? Lots. Always at night right as I'm laying down for bed and he is usually awake in the early evening and for a bit each morning.
Food cravings? Back to Dunkin Donuts coffee with the addition of chocolate (specifically, m&ms).
Food aversions? Nope.
Gender? Let's just say I might need these: http://www.bebabean.com/pee-pee-teepee/.
Labor signs? The Braxton Hicks contractions have returned, but I only notice them when I'm exerting myself (and by that I mean walking on the treadmill or around the block).
Belly button in/out? Still more in than out. However, a new fun "side effect" has been extreme sensitivity (verging on strong pain) around my belly button. Anyone else experience this?
What I miss: Sleeping on my back and martinis.
What I am looking forward to: The Christmas gift that keeps on giving: I have my 3rd pregnancy massage this afternoon!
Milestones: The third trimester is in sight. Woo hoo.
