26 Weeks...And growing like crazy!


So, apparently I've hit a serious growth spurt because I've had more than a few comments in the last week about how much bigger I look.  Not my favorite comment to get, but I certainly cannot complain considering I'm 6.5 months pregnant and just now looking really pregnant.  But man, have I been feeling big lately!  Breathing is getting a bit difficult, lower back pain is kicking in a bit, and I've been really tired the last week.  All out pregnant at this point!!  Enjoy the update!  (sorry the pics a bit blurry)



How far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: 20 lbs - whoa, major jump in the last couple weeks! and I have no idea where that 20lbs is! kinda scary!
Maternity clothes? Yes, mam!  I am loving maxi dresses right now.  I found some great buys at Gap Maternity (by far my fav place to shop).  I'm pretty much living in vnecks and tanks right now.  

Stretch marks? not yet
Sleep: Sleeping good.  I wake up on my back in the middle of the night and freak out, but that's about it.  I sleep with a pillow in between my legs every night, and it helps a ton.
Best moment this week: Finally decided on my baby bedding.  That's been the hardest part!  Now comes the fun part of finishing furniture and accent decor.  

Miss Anything? Really miss the ability to have a hard, intense workout.  Would love any high intensity workout at this point.  AND I really miss enjoying food.  Just don't enjoy eating at all anymore.  
Movement: ALL the time, but especially at night.  She is such a wiggle worm!  She wakes me up pretty early moving around as well.  I'm lucky to get to sleep in til 7:00 these days.  
Food cravings:  I've kinda been on a pancake kick lately.  At least a few times a week the last couple weeks.  Watermelon is super delicious these days, but always ends up making me feel sick for some reason.  Sooo weird!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  The usual: chicken, eggs, mexican...Travis is going crazy.
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Round ligament pain is pretty uncomfortable these days.. assuming that is only going to get way worse. Heartburn lingers ALL day long no matter what I eat... cereal & milk for breakfast? Boom! Heartburn. Fantastic.
Belly Button in or out? halfway in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Feeling happy!  Kinda overwhelmed sometimes at all I feel I need to do.
Looking forward to:  Visiting our family in Tennessee next weekend!  Haven't seen them since Cam and Katie's wedding.  Also excited to get my bedding in and start painting!
