26 Weeks 3 Days


How Far Along: 26 Weeks 3 Days (13 weeks 4 days until due date)
Size of baby:  14 inches long and 1 2/3 pounds (size of an English hothouse cucumber).
Gender: Girl - Emma
Maternity Clothes: Yes. Trying to dig in the closet for more clothing options. Comfy is the way to go. I can still get away with wearing maternity tank top under regular long sleeve cotton t-shirt.
Weight gain: + 11 pounds (official measurement from the Doctor)
Movement: Emma is active throughout the day. The glucose test on Tuesday wiped me out but kept her active ALL day. her movements are getting strong enough to make the belly move.
Sleep: It usually doesn't take too long to fall asleep but waking up several times throughout the night.
Symptoms: I'm tired all the time. I'm exercising but walking seems like I'm running a full sprint. Also, clumsiness and being uncomfortable.
What I miss: Bending over, getting up smoothly from a chair, being more active.
Cravings: Eating apple pie this week - yum! I've cut out the chocolate milk for the week because I feel like I'm buying the bottle of Hershey syrup way too often.
Best moment this week: Dawgs beating the Gators. Positive visit at the doctor's: Blood pressure: 120/71, weight gain: 11 pounds, Fundal height is measuring one week ahead. Passed glucose test; no gestational diabetes! Next appointment is three weeks away: November 22. After that, I visit every two weeks.
What I am looking forward to: The next two months are going to fly by with baby classes, baby showers, holidays, maternity photos, football.
