26 Week Update




How far along? 26 weeks 4 days---Baby is due in 95 days!!
How big is baby? between 1.5 lbs and 14 inches long (2.5 inches longer than a Barbie Doll) about the size of an eggplant
Weight Gain? as of my doctor's appointment this morning, I'm still at 14 lbs gained (held steady for 2 weeks--which I think is good is pretty good since little man is growing by leaps and bounds right now)
Stretch Marks? nope just some light spider veins on the belly...nothing too noticable though
Maternity Clothes? 90% of the time--I have some pants with stretch like the ones in the picture that I can still wear. Shirts have to be maternity or way oversized.
Sleep? Still doing well on that front.
Best moment of the week? Mmm...Can we just say being on Spring Break is great :) I've got to go to the Aquarium with friends, although Doug was too sleepy to come :(. I went to the dentist--no cavities :) and I went to my doctor. I've been feeling pretty good and I've gotten some housework done. I went to my cousin's fundraiser for March of Dimes. She did a nice job, and it was exciting to see her after her recent engagement. I've also been crocheting--I'm considering opening an etsy.com shop (see cap and diaper cover below). Oh and of course I've been out shopping, nothing too extravagant though.
Food Cravings? Raisinets :)
Gender? Boy--still no name, maybe we'll just stick with Ebenezer? We could call him Ebbie or Ben for short right?
Movement? In the morning and when I am trying to get to bed is when I feel him move the most
What I miss? Shopping in the normal clothes section. Maternity clothes are expensive! They are also hard to find on a good sale since they are seasonal--by the time they go on sale I don't need them anymore.

  1. Hmm how about Benjamin (that sounds better than Ebeneezer !!)

  2. Ebenezer is what we joking started calling him before we even knew it was a boy. We said that any name we gave him had to be better than that, LOL! The problem is we can't agree on the other names!
