Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 26 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. (according to babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 15.5 lbs total as of my appointment at 23 weeks.
Maternity Clothes: of course!
Gender: girl - Aubrey Lauren
Movement: She has not moved as much as she did last week, but still moving (moreso in the evening/night). She has been stomping or punching (or something) directly on my [full] bladder and that is always lovely.
Sleep: Not much has changed here...still having to get up to go to the bathroom several times a night, so I never really feel like I get a solid night's sleep anymore. Also, I just cannot get very comfortable at night now. Maybe I am a wimp...I don't know...but it is difficult and at times even painful to turn myself over in bed.
Symptoms: still mostly the same....having to pee all.the.time; starving and having to snack more; no reflux this week, though; had more Braxton Hicks contractions while I was cleaning our bathroom again this week (maybe I should stop cleaning!); I am having a lot more aches and pains this time around and they were pretty bothersome this week (including round ligament pain and back pain)
What I miss: right now, I am mostly missing being able to sleep on my back and not having the aches and pains!
Cravings: still pretty much the same...any fruit, ice cream, other sweets, juice...probably why I gain so much weight! :)
Best moment this week: our surprise diaper shower!
What I am looking forward to: hearing Aubrey's heartbeat at my appointment on Thursday (and hopefully passing my 1-hour glucose test, too)
