Week 26

Since I was traveling again all week, it was hard to get a picture with the chalkboard.  The chalkboard should be back next week, but in the meantime…Here is a picture taken about 4-5 weeks apart.  The one on the right was from week 26. 

How far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 12 lbs (Doctor’s office scale)
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? No-Thank goodness.
Sleep: I can sleep only on my left side or my back.  The baby has been hanging out on my right side and it makes for a very uncomfortable sleep.
Best moment this week: Went to the doctor and heard the baby’s heartbeat again.  I just love those times. 
Miss Anything? A great glass of wine.  I also miss sneaking by people in lines…my belly bumps everything.   
Movement: Lots of movement.
Food cravings: Nothing this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smelly people on flights.  Seriously I got stuck next to a guy that smelled so bad for 3 hours!
Feelings: I am having pains in my lower chest area.  It is a pulling feeling.  I am also having some swelling in my legs.  Traveling does not help with the swelling problems. 
Gender: We are not going to find out.
Labor Signs: No.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I guess I am just happy all the time.  I am happy but more opinionated or less tolerant.  
Looking forward to: I am looking forward to getting my glucose test results.  I am also looking forward to going to the doctor every two weeks.  That’s twice a month I will get to hear the baby’s heartbeat!
