26 Weeks

*How far along? 26 weeks 4 days
*How big is baby? The babies are as big as eggplants during this 6th month.
*Genders? Two boys!
*Total weight gain? I am up around 20 lbs or so from pre-pregnancy weight.
*Maternity Clothes? All maternity clothes now!
*Stretch marks? None yet – keeping my fingers crossed!
*Sleep? Slowly declining in quality – it is starting to get harder each night to find a comfortable position to sleep in but that is to be expected at this point in pregnancy, right??!!
*Movement? I am feeling increased movement every day – these boys still have plenty of room to bounce around in.
*Food cravings? No strong ”pregnancy” cravings. My appetite is starting to shrink again – I can’t eat as much at one time without feeling over-stuffed.
*Labor signs? None.
*Belly button in or out? It’s “popping” even more this week; I don’t have much of an “innie” left anymore.
*What I miss? Good sleep – the past week has been rough, so I’m hoping I can figure out something that will help me get a little more comfortable.
*What I am looking forward to? We will have our last prenatal class this week which is a breastfeeding class – I’m hoping to get some good information at that one. I’m also looking forward to my baby shower this next Saturday for my husband’s side of the family.
*Best moment this week? Seeing the boys on the ultrasound again (it just never gets old & I am in love with them more & more each time I get to see them) and my baby shower thrown by a couple close friends yesterday (we had an awesome turnout and it was really nice to see all my good friends that were able to make it – we received a ton of awesome gifts for the boys).
