26 weeks




How Far Along: 26 Weeks 3 days
Size of baby: According to Babycenter, Frank Salvatore should be the length of an english hothouse cucumber (14 inches) and weigh about 1 and 2/3 pounds but he was above average weight at the ultrasound and doc is predicting an eight pound baby.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 12 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I can still wear regular leggings and a few longer shirts but most of my clothes are maternity at this point.
Gender: It's a boy.
Movement: Alot- he seems to be on a schedule though.
Sleep: I sleep pretty well but tend to have a period of wakefulness between 4am and 6 am.
What I miss: being able to paint my own toenails but it's a good excuse to get a professional pedicure.
Cravings:Coffee- I've been drinking a cup of half caf a day for the last couple of weeks.
Symptoms: Round ligament pain, some heartburn, peach fuzz on the belly (eww) and definite pregnancy brain. The other day I heated up my lunch and then had to search the apartment for it for 10 min. I had gotten distracted by a plant the cat knocked over and had placed my meal on the bookshelf.
