Pregnancy Update

How far along?: 26 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: about 11 pounds

Maternity clothes? I try hard not to be in them. Shirts I don't mind as much, although most of my shirts fit still. I usually like form fitting shirts, and there are not many to chose from in the maternity section, so I just buy larger sizes or shirts that stretch. Maternity pants are the worst! I'm not sure why, but every pair of jeans I try, the waist will fit, but apparently my thighs should be four times as large as my butt. So, this time, I am forgoing the whole jeans things. If I need to wear jeans, I wear my own and just rubber band the button. I usually wear leggings or yoga pants.

Sleep: Going mostly well. Although the other night I was up from 3am to 4:30 am because Isla was going absolutely crazy. Every time I turned, she rolled over and over again.

Best moment this week: Seeing Isla at the ultrasound we had at the end of last week. She has really chubby cheeks and we could see her little thighs filling out. Her legs are up by her forehead and she yawned twice and then started sucking on her knee cap. I can't wait to meet her and truly get to know her tiny personality.

Movement: yes! all day, every day!

Food cravings: I haven't had really any cravings. I mostly like cold things to eat. Or at least warm foods that can be dipped in cold dippings, like tacos with sour cream, fish in tartar sauce, etc...

Gender: a Girl!!

Labor signs: not any which is good!

Belly button in or out?: Almost flat

What I miss: Mostly being able to sit up easily without being pushed or pulled up.

What I am looking forward to: Coming up on the third trimester! Only one more week in the second trimester. :)
