26 Weeks - Lettuce

As you can see, we painted the nursery!! How do you like the color? I'm so obsessed with this mint/aqua/seafoam color! I think it's so sweet!

How far along: 26 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Haven't weighed myself!! oops

Baby Size: A head of lettuce, about 14", around 1.5-2.5 lbs. 

The Bump: It's there and growing!  

Maternity clothes: Nothing new  

Stretch marks: Nope! My belly feels so soft; I think it's a combination of all the lotion/oil I put on it and the stretched out skin! haha but I like rubbing it.

How's sleep: Still going pretty good now; not the best but not the worst!

Miss anything: Being painless hahaha

Baby movement: She's been doing a lot of slower/gradual movements to where she'll push up against one side of my belly. It gets super hard...it's funny, I love it!

Food cravings: Nothing, really. Boring, I know. I have been enjoying berries and melons though!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope

Gender? Girl!

Belly button in or out? Still in! I swear it's just going to pop out any day now.

Wedding rings on or off? On but getting a little tighter, however, I think it also has to do with the heat (weather).

Happy or moody most of the time? Very happy and excited!

Labor signs? Nope

Best moment this week? Probably just knowing it's another week and we are getting closer to baby girls' arrival. Also finding out that one of our dear family members purchased out stroller set that we registered for!

Food cravings: My mom has been buying this delicious cream cheese danish at Safeway and I can't get enough of it! I could eat the whole thing, but I usually just actually eat half of it..yikes! BTW, it's not an individual sized danish, it's like a long one for multiple people to share! haha

22 Weeks - Papaya

This week I threw in a "lifestyle" photo so you can see me a little bit more candid, rather than the usual pose! Enjoy!

How far along: 22 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 10 lbs.

Baby Size: Papaya, 10.94", 15.17 oz. 

The Bump: Woah! It's growing like crazy! I swear, every time I look in the mirror, it's bigger!

Maternity clothes: Continuing to wear the tanks and now that it's warmer, maxi dresses! 

Stretch marks: Nope

How's sleep: Oh boy, it's starting to be a problem! There were about 3 nights that I spent tossing and turning from side to side. Since it's not advised to sleep on your back while pregnant, and sleeping on the belly just doesn't really work anymore, all that's left are the sides. It starts out comfy and then I wake up with back ache...SO I've tried the pillow in the back and front (under the belly) and it works GREAT! *knock on wood* so ever since I've been using the pillows, I can finally sleep through the night again! Hopefully it will work for the remaining months! Gah!

Miss anything: Being able to sleep on my back or belly!!! Otherwise, nah, not really.

Baby movement: Yes! Love it!

Food cravings: No, not really. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender? Girl!

Belly button in or out? In but it's definitely getting more shallow!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most ofe the time? Happy!!! Especially since the sun has been out!

Labor signs? Nope, however, I did experience what I'm pretty sure was Braxton Hicks. Kind of weird, uncomfortable and strange feeling. It went away once I sat down and relaxed for a minute though.

Best moment this week? Figuring out a comfortable way to sleep! and of course feeling movement!

Looking forward to: More movement and baby girl being born in 4 months!!!
