26 Week Bumpdate: Baby No. 2

SHARE THIS

How far along: 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: 5 lbs… I literally gained 5lbs in one week. I’ll blame my nightly routine of eating cocoa krispies on the couch.
Stretch marks: Nope. 
Movement: Lots of kicks and hiccups. This week it also feels like more than just a kick or a punch here or there… it’s all kinds of crazy movements, everywhere, all at once. All. the. time.
Mood: Good! I am so, so excited for my birthday and the holidays.
Food cravings: Cereal, Juice, Hot Cocoa, Pickles, and Cherry Pepsi
Gender: Boy!
Sleep: The past few days I have felt GIANT, which makes me more uncomfortable when it comes to sleeping… but my new maternity pillow is treating me realll well. 
Highlight of the Week: Does my birthday count? ;)
Miss Anything: WINE.
Symptoms: Back and hip pain, getting up 100x per night to pee, and the top of my left leg is ALWAYS sore.
Looking forward to: I don’t go back to work until the first week of January! So I’m excited to get the nursery painted and to start getting some of it put together. There’s something about putting together their room that makes everything seem more real! PLUS I won’t have to take pictures in front of this ugly green wall anymore. ;)
