26 weeks

How far along? 26 weeks... closing out my last week of trimester 2 this week and then it's on to #3!

Size of baby: He's about 1 2/3 pounds and is 14 inches long head-to-heel, or about the length of a burp cloth, otherwise known as my future primary wardrobe accessory for the next several months.

What's baby up to? He's opening his eyes now! But still can't see very well, probably a good thing in there. He is also practicing his breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid.

Total weight gain/loss: +20 lbs

Pregnancy symptoms: Swelling, shoes are getting small. Even in the morning.

Maternity clothes? Still a good mix of maternity and regular.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Going ok, still waking up a few times through the night to get comfortable, but have been able to go right back to sleep. And, I wake up with such a sore back.

Best moment this past week: 1- Results are in and I passed the glucose test! But my blood work came back saying I'm a little anemic. Not enough to go on iron supplements, but need to do a better job of getting iron in my diet. 2- Ikea shopping trip for baby items :)

Miss Anything? Nothing new this week.

Movement: Lots, starting to feel just how active this little guy is.

Food Cravings: Nothing new, tacos and fruit are pretty much still my favs.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Red sauces and onions still give me heck of a time with the heartburn. I pretty much avoid them at all cost now.

Labor sigs: No

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or Moody: Happy

Weekly Wisdom: Have a desk job and sit in a chiar all day? Having back pain and a hurt tailbone? Try swapping the chair for an exercise ball... below is what I've been sporting for the past 2 weeks.

Looking forward to: Sis-in-law and baby Olivia are going to be in town visiting this coming week AND I'm headed to Ikea today to pick up some nursery items!
