26 Weeks
14 more weeks to go!!! It's crazy! Soon enough we will be in the single digits. Things are going well. I'm excited for Christmas break and the time off that I'll have from work. It's going to be a good long 2 week much needed break. We have been working like crazy around the house. We painted the entire baby's room and are on to the stripes at the bottom. We hung some new light fixtures in our loft (finally have lights up there). And we hung our lights outside along with some wreaths. That's about all for now.
On to the weekly quiz.
26Week Quiz
How far along: 26 weeks and 4 days today
Weight gain: I weighed myself last week and I'm up about 21 pounds.
At least I'm okay with it because one of my books said I should be anywhere from 17 - 22 pounds.
Maternity clothes: Maternity clothes all the way!
Stretch marks: Nothing right now. Hopefully the stretch marks stay away!
Sleep: I've been sleeping well. My hips were a little achy the other day, but other than that it's been good.
Best moment of the week: I know it has nothing to do with the baby, but getting the lights up so we can be more in the spirit of Christmas.
Movement: I have a crazy baby in my belly.
Food cravings: I don't want to eat as much food lately. I get much fuller more quickly.
Labor signs: No! I think I have been feeling some braxton hicks contractions, not that they hurt at all, but my stomach has been getting so incredibly hard and it's a slow process. One of my friends (whose had 3 of her own), mentioned what it would feel like and everything, and I am pretty sure that's what it is. I thought it was me just having to pee, or the baby moving onto my bladder. :-)
Belly button in or out: It's still in.
What I miss: I am borrowing a jacket from a friend so it's easier to zip it up. But I miss wearing some clothes and feeling good about the way I look.
What I'm looking forward to: I'm excited about getting the baby's room fully completed.
Weekly wisdom: Try not to worry about things you can't control!
Milestones: The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
