26 weeks

Sorry the picture looks funny. Stupid time change requires a flash. 

How far along? 26 weeks 
Baby is the size of: A cucumber. She is 15 inches and 2 whole pounds!! 
Total weight gain: 20 lbs!! Yikes. That number sounds so intimidating, even though it's all located from my collar bones to my hip bones :) 
Maternity clothes? Went to Motherhood a couple weekends ago. Got a new bra in my new size. Thank God! It has long overdue and completely changed my life. Also took advantage of their buy three get one free sale on tops. So many cute things for big bellied women these days! Obsessed!        
Stretch marks?   Not yet. I feel like they could appear any minute though. My skin is literally always greasy from the butters I'm rubbing on.  
Sleep: BLAH! Not great lately. Gatsby is suddenly the most clingy animal ever, and constantly trying to get underneath our blankets and in between me and my boyfriend (the snoogle). I have a super terrible knot in my back that has been keeping me up too. Not the business.    
Best moment this week: THANKSGIVING! What's better than overeating and seeing all your loved ones?! NOTHING! Our district gives the entire week off for Thanksgiving, so that was an added bonus. 

Miss Anything? Nothing new.       
Movement: Oh, yes. Every time we go to the doctor, they make a comment about how much she moves, which intimidates me. Like, they see A LOT of babies. The fact that they are impressed with her energy makes me convinced we have a hyper little girl on our hands.     
Food cravings: My mom's homemade stuffing. Thanksgiving went too fast :(   
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!    
Gender: A little lady!    

Labor Signs: No, obvi. 
Symptoms: Backache and a littttttttttle bit of heartburn, but I am in total denial and still load jalepenos on everything possible.   
Belly Button in or out? neither. haha it's flat as a pancake. So creepy.  
Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! 
Looking forward to: Once on this Island! I choreographed the play and Jake is an assistant director, so we are both so so so excited to watch the kids perform starting this week! Come see the show!
