How far along: 26 weeks
Total weight gain: 19 lbs (started around 115, currently at 134) - I've made peace with the fact that I will probably gain 40+ pounds total. Whatever it takes to have a healthy baby is all the matters :)
Sleep: Same as usual. I'm getting up once a night to pee and wake up several times to switch sides, but I feel rested in the mornings for the most part.
Maternity Clothes: I'm in all maternity bottoms at this point, but am still wearing my regular shirts, with a few maternity ones thrown in.
Food cravings: Sweets. Ugh! I can't stop eating candy. Milk still, smoothies, veggies.
Food aversions: Spicy stuff gets me insane heartburn, but I still eat it on occasion. I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet :)
Symptoms: Heartburn, itchy skin, tired in the afternoons, swollen ankles/legs (yuck!), hungry all the time.
Movement: Baby's kicks are getting really strong. He's been quite active this week.
Gender: A BOY!!! :)
What I’m looking forward to: Finding a new doctor and getting an appointment scheduled finally. (My old doctor only saw patients up to week 24, which is perfect timing considering I just got awesome insurance through my work. So I'm switching to an office right by my house that is much more convenient)
What I miss: Being able to eat food without feeling a fire burning in my chest.
Best moment this week: Nothing stands out that I can remember. Just making it another week is always a big deal for me :)
