How Far Along: 26 Weeks!!
Total Weight
Gain/Loss: Up 9 pounds as of my
last appointment. Probably up a few more…I
have no idea. My OB doesn’t say much
about it…
Maternity Clothes: Yuppers!
Movement: A lot more during the day now. I can feel these little rumbles in my belly…silly
kids…
Sleep: The hip pain is still there in the wee hours
of the morning it kicks in. Thankfully I am able to reposition myself and fall
right back to sleep.
Gender: A boy and a girl!!!
Symptoms: Fatigue, round ligament pain/cramping,
stuffiness, hip pain.
Cravings: No real cravings
Freak-out of the Week: No freak-outs! Just happy to feel them moving
around – it keeps me calm.
Looking
Forward To: Our mini babymoon this weekend. We are going north to Centennial, CO and on
Saturday going to a spa for massages and manicures and then Sunday brunch at
the hotel we are staying at.
Next Appointment: Growth ultrasound is May 8th. OB appointment on May 9th.
Miscellaneous: Finished with Childbirth classes. We are ready – but hopefully not for another
10 weeks or so. J
My shower this past
weekend was great. Small and intimate
but filled love and laughter. I’ll try
and get some pictures up when I can later this week.
Now we are working on
getting the nursery set up. We cleared
the room and yesterday Todd and I put together both cribs and the changing
table. Took us about 2 hours to put
everything together so that was pretty easy.
Need a few essentials, like mattresses and whatnot, but we will get
those in the next couple of weeks.
26 Weeks - Baby is still growing in the
13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and while her eyes are still
forming during week 26, they’ll open soon. Hello,
baby! Her eyelashes have grown in, too, and she's
getting her immune system ready for the outside world by getting antibodies
from you.
Plus, baby’s little lungs are starting to produce surfactant, the fatty substance that coats the inside lining of the lungs’ tiny air sacs, helping them to expand during breathing. And her skin has developed its color as well, because her body is now making melanin.

Your baby's the size of a head of lettuce!
