26 Week Bumpdate

Size of baby: Eggplant (WOAH!)

My total weight gain: 31 pounds. I talked to my doctor about it (again) and he said he wasn’t going to yell at me and didn’t believe me when I told him how much I weighed when I got pregnant. He said if I wanted to watch my carb portions and start exercising more it may help… I still feel like crap for gaining this much though…

Baby’s development: 

-Eyes starting to open
-Brain more developed and sophisticated 

Stretch marks: None.

Maternity clothes: Yes, purchased some new oversized sweaters. I’m loving that it’s a trend right now because I can be comfy and be trendy 🙂 And I’m officially out of regular clothes.. no hiding this belly now…

Gender: Girl.

Movement: Yes! So excited for Z to feel her this weekend 🙂 

Sleep: Still taking Unisom nightly. And Nolan has been waking up so early… not used to it but I supposed it’s good practice. 

What I miss: fitting into my clothes and liking what I see in the mirror. 31 extra pounds does not look good on me. 

Food cravings: Chipotle. I celebrated yesterday after my glucose test came back negative! No gestational diabetes for this mama this time! WOO HOO!

Symptoms: Feeling large, lower back pain, sleepy, and super emotional. 

Nolan is: hilarious. He heard Nelly on XM radio the other day and picked it up right away. Take a peek for yourselves…
