26 WEEKS / MOMMY MUST HAVES


26 weeks already say what?! One more week and I'll be 6 months preggo and there are only 3 more to go! I can't believe it. It doesn't even seem possible. Our little girl is still cookin and doing just perfectly! I haven't done an official update since 20 weeks so here we go again :) 

☾✰ HOW FAR ALONG? 

26 weeks! 

☾✰ HOW BIG IS THE PEANUT? 

Baby is the size of a scallion (weird comparison but k kewl). She weighs 1 2/3 pounds. She's about 14 inches long and now inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid! 

☾✰ TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS? 

17 lbs. so far and a little over half way. So I'm guessing I'll put on about 30. That's what my mom put on with her all babies and dropped it all right after giving birth! 

☾✰ MATERNITY CLOTHES? 

Yessssss. Finally got my first pair of maternity pants and let me tell you they are AMAZING. I've had a hard time finding super cute maternity pants that fit my style and finally came across Hatch Collection and I'm obsessed with their whole line. (pictured above)

☾✰ SLEEP?

Sleeping okay. I've been sleeping really light and can feel the baby squirm all around when I'm half asleep. Still having crazy dreams that leave me feeling tired in the morning but can't complain other than that! 

☾✰ BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK? 

Well it was last week, but Adam finally felt the baby move. It was the BEST. I've been wanting him to feel her move so badly and he finally did! His face lit up and he got the biggest grin. It made my life. I can't wait to see him as a dad, he's going to be the best ever.

☾✰ SYMPTOMS? 

Headaches still. Still pretty tired. Easily worn out. A little more moody and irritable but nothing intolerable. 

☾✰ FOOD CRAVINGS? 

Orange juice, Dairy Free Coconut Ice Cream Bars, Fruit, Strawberry Lemonade, Butternut Squash.

☾✰ FOOD AVERSIONS? 

Dairy. Meat. Hamburgers. (the same) Leftovers.

☾✰ GENDER? 

Little baby girl.

☾✰ LABOR SIGNS? 

Nope. And thank goodness! 

☾✰ BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT? 

In, but disappearing as we speak.

☾✰ WHAT I MISS?

Pants buttoning up. Skirts zipping up all the way. Running and feeling normal. 

☾✰ WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO? 

Putting the nursery together! (Just a few things left to get). Meeting her! Baby shower! Getting to know her. Birthing classes start this week yay! :) 

☾✰ MILESTONES? 

At 24 weeks she could technically survive outside the womb. Which is re-assuring. Hoping that's not a concern in the near future though and she just keeps cooking.

☾✰ BUMP?

Yes, it's round and finally quite visible.
