26 weeks

 

 

How far along? 26 weeks

Baby Hart is the size of: A scallion.

Total weight gain/loss: 12 pounds as of a couple weeks ago.

Maternity clothes? Yes, and I'm kind of getting over it;)

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep: Great last night, and should be great the next few nights- my in-laws took Silas with them to Atlanta for a few days to visit my sis-in-law's family!  Yay for actually sleeping IN!!!

Best moment this week: Going to the Biltmore Estate with Jason on father's day and getting to do it kid-free thanks to my in-laws!

Miss anything? Not having the fear of heartburn when deciding what to eat;)

Movement: Almost always!  It's the fun moving stage too- not hurting (much) yet and just fascinating scoots and flips and slides...

Food cravings: Chocolate/sweets.

Symptoms:  Sciatica, heartburn, and a huge loss of balance;)

Showing? Yes- and interesting tid-bit: When I'm out with Silas I never get the sweet comments from strangers about it, but being out without Silas I get tons, like, "Oh, congrats!!" (with the awkward belly-point) or "You must be sooo excited!!".  Just interesting... I don't know it it's the "if it's your second it's not as exciting" philosophy or maybe just people think I'm a baby hoarder?;)

Gender:  It's a boy!!!

Belly button in or out? Out.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments? Might get a chiropractic adjustment while I have this Silas-free time;)  The belly is really starting to pull on the back!

Emotions: Excited, and a lil apprehensive about how quickly time is going and all the huge things going on before this guy comes!

Learned this week: That my pregnancy to-do list is MUCH different this time around then it was with Silas;)  My, how the 2nd pregnancy is night and day from the first!

So thankful for:  This break! I've gotten to rest and catch up on lots of important things, and still have a few more days of it!  So grateful!

Looking forward to: Snuggling my lil guy!!!  Can't wait for those newborn cuddles!!!
