26 weeks


How far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: Went to the doctor Tuesday- I have gained a total of 25 pounds. I will not however, tell you what the scale is reading. I myself could die when I see it. 
Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans, yes. I was so depressed to say that until a friend let me borrow her designer maternity jeans. They are Paige Jeans and quite AMAZING. They are so so comfy and look fabulous! 
Stretch marks? Not that I can tell!
Sleep: Pretty good. Been tired after all the traveling and staying up late lately. I also borrowed a friend's maternity body pillow and that thing has helped tremendously.
Best moment this week: I have been babysitting a 9 month old- working on my mothering skills- and it has been super fun. I will miss seeing her grin when I come it to get her from her naps!

Miss Anything? my old weight- the weight I am now carrying in my belly has caused back pain and some random swelling in my ankles that I am NOT happy about. 
Movement: I have felt Rilynn a great deal more in the past two weeks. Last night, I swear I could almost feel her distinct toes in my side. :)
Food cravings: I think I ate- or wanted to eat- Dippin Dots every day while I was at the beach. Ice cream is still my go to.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing! Except those dirty diapers while babysitting. Wow.
Have you started to show yet? Duh. My bridesmaid's dress for a July 21 wedding has been an interesting fete.

Belly Button in or out? Almost out!
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Just a bit restless at times. And starting to get sleepy again. :(
Looking forward to: the nursery chandelier has come in, and so have the crib bumpers and my fabrics for the den. So excited to get it all in- pictures to come!
