6.5 months!



How far along? 26 weeks 2 days

Baby's size? About a pound and a 2/3 and about 14 inches - about the size of an eggplant

Weight Gain? +5 pounds all together as of last week

Maternity clothes? Yup! I can get away with a few non-maternity things like cardigans and some shirts, but it's mostly all maternity.

Stretch marks? None yet! {keeping my fingers crossed}

Belly button in or out? Popped! Hubby said I have a third nipple - boys are so awesome with words

Sleep? Sleeping really well other than to switch positions.

Foods I am loving? Still loving milkshakes, strawberries, bananas, and milk. I've been craving cupcakes lately, so I may have to satisfy that here before too long :P

Foods I am hating? Nothing really now

Best moment this week? Hubby was giving me a hug and Lexie kicked him! It was too funny.

Movement? She's super active.

Symptoms? Nothing of note this week...although it's getting harder to bend over!

Gender? Girl :) Alexis "Lexie"

What I miss? Nothing at all!

What I'm looking forward to? Working more on her room.

Weekly Wisdom: Always know where the bathrooms are! You never know when the instantaneous urge will strike! Or rather, when you're little bean will sit promptly on your bladder and then kick it around like a soccer ball :P

Milestone: Getting closer to 30 weeks :) and well working on her room and the belly button popping :)

Emotions: Just so excited and so blessed with my husband and our little girl.

What BabyCenter says:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.

I can't wait to see your belly button! Mine is still in. I have been craving a cupcake too with lots of icing. We should go get one SOON! This morning I couldn't even bend over all the way to buckle my shoe and had to get Joey to do it! LOL
