26 Weeks

How far along: 26 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain: I think my weight gain has slowed down a bit. My next doctor appointment is in just a few days so I will find out for sure then.
Maternity clothes: Lots of maternity shirts mixed in with my regular clothes. Still wearing my own pants with the belly band.
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: Sleep has been ok the last couple of weeks. I have been having less crazy dreams too.
Best moment this week: Helping a friend celebrate the upcoming birth of her baby girl by attending her baby shower! So much cute pink stuff!
Miss anything: I miss being able to put on any piece of clothing and knowing it was going to fit. Now I have to try every outfit on before I wear it to see if I can still fit into it.
Movement: Baby Doyle moves SOO much. The little one likes to do twirls and flips and stick its head and butt up to press against my belly. You can feel lots of movement from the outside, and a lot of times you can see my belly moving.
Food cravings: Nothing crazy...the fall weather is making me love homemade soups.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Mexican food is still not sounding too great...but other than that I'm doing alright.
Gender prediction: Mom-boy   Dad-girl    The last time we were in Nebraska we had several people bet on the gender and weight of the baby...about 2/3 of people guessed boy.
Labor Signs: I think I have had a couple Braxton Hicks contractions but those are pretty normal.
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding ring on or off: Off
Happy or moody most of the time: How the school day goes dictates a lot of my moods. Usually the kids are good and things go well so I am happy!
Looking forward to: I am excited that we have finally reached fall! I'm loving the weather and pretty trees. I'm looking forward to all the fall holidays!
