How far along? 26 weeks - baby is around 14 inches long & weighs almost 2 lbs
Symptoms: If there was one complaint I had about this pregnancy it would have to be the indigestion & the heartburn. Every time I eat I make sure to follow my meal with Tums & sometimes that doesn't even help :( Also, I am feeling that need to pee every 30 minutes that everyone warned me about - fun, fun!
Weight gain/loss: Will check next week at my OB appointment on 11/5. (Total of 14 lbs gained since last check)
Sleep: Still able to fall asleep easily but wake up a couple times a night trying to find a comfortable position & to pee of course.
Food cravings/aversions: I had pasta 3x's this week so Italian food is right up there with my favorite things to eat right now!
Movement? yes - from 8pm to 9am Baby T is moving & kicking all around. Pretty quiet throughout the day.
What I miss: Being able to hold my bladder for 10 hours like I used to - lol :)
Best moment(s) this week: a couple evenings out shared with great girlfriends
What I'm looking forward to: my 1st baby shower & seeing my family in a couple of weeks
Next Appointment: Monday, Nov 5th - glucose screening test & OB appt
Milestones: For the first time, Baby T's eyelids have fully opened after being fused shut all this time. He has started to move his head all around, the hair on his head is starting to grow in as well as his fingernails. His testicles are beginning to descend into the scrotum which will take about two to three days for the process to complete. He also continues to inhale & exhale small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs.
