26 Weeks!

Today I am 26 weeks!  On Christmas day I will be 28 weeks and moving into my third trimester.  Can't believe how fast this time is going!

Baby G's size: About 14 inches long.  He weights about 1 lb. & 2/3 oz.

My size: I've gained about 13 pounds.  My doctor is encouraging me to gain a lot more.  I think she's a little worried that I haven't even gained 10 lbs. since my first OB visit.  I'm trying to eat more and feel like my stomach is HUGE, so I don't know why I haven't gained much.  I'm sure the holidays will help me put on a few extra pounds! :)

Most excited thing: Still loving feeling his kicks!  Recently they have turned a bit more violent!  All of Baby G's kicks aren't the little cute flutters anymore.  They are a lot stronger and a lot of time right on my bladder!

Most annoying thing: Sleeping is pretty uncomfortable.  

Cravings: Still no weird cravings right now.

Sickness: My doctor prescribed me with some medicine to help my nausea.  It has helped quite a bit and I haven't been getting sick nearly as much.  Hopefully it lasts! 

Next appointment: I've started my once-every-two-week visits now.  I go back to the doctor this Tuesday.  I had my glucose test done 2 weeks ago and everything came back normal which is a big praise! :)



I'm off to prepare for a fun Christmas party with some of our best friends tonight.  Be looking for a comical blog post soon.  What we are wearing is going to be ridiculous especially with my pregnant belly!!  I'm talking more embarrassing than ugly Christmas sweaters!  Stay tuned! :)
