How
far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: 21 lbs
Maternity clothes? Finally got another pair of maternity jeans (thank goodness for gift cards!) - Also ordered a few new things from GAP and I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival :) For the most part though - still wearing a lot of maternity tops with side rouching and yoga pants at home!
Stretch marks? on the tops of my thighs...though I don't see how I won't get them on my stomach because seriously, how will that skin stretch any more than it already has?
Sleep: sleeping pretty good - have a hard time staying on my side.
Best moment this week: I certainly loved the cookies that Stacy brought me at work - so much so that I ate all of them (including the ones I was supposed to share with Rob...oops!) and then I baked them again later in the week! But, really going to the doctor on Thursday and hearing the heartbeat again was pretty great too! A strong 150 and she had nothing but great things to say!
Miss Anything? Being flexible! It's getting a bit awkward bending over to take care of some of our animals at work or picking up something that I've dropped (for some reason I've also become really clumsy)!

Movement: For the most part I feel the baby move all day long - but he is most active at night when I'm winding down and getting ready for bed or watching tv on the couch.
Food cravings: Still lots of chocolate milk - I seem to gravitate toward eggs too...I might them everyday...
Anything making you queasy or
sick: Rob made a tuna salad sandwich on Friday for lunch and I thought I was going to be sick just smelling it. :(
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Rib pain is getting pretty uncomfortable these days - asked doctor about it - she said it was normal because things are just trying to expand in there to make room for the baby (makes sense I guess). But, all I want to do is bust off my bra and slip on the comfy pants when I get home from work!
Belly Button in or out? in, but man I'm paranoid everyday that I'm going to wake up and it's going to be out. Stacy and I had the funniest conversation about it on the phone this week - one of my books says you can put a band-aid over it to help smooth it over....so weird!!
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding ring on still and I'm able to move it around...so my fingers haven't been too swollen lately.

Happy or Moody most of the
time: HAPPY! Though in three instances this week, real pissed. First, a docent at work said I was "large". Second a lady a church asked if I was having a "13 pound baby". Seriously ladies?!! I mean, even if that's what you think, don't say it!! That's not what any lady, pregnant or not, wants to hear - EVER! Help a sister out and tell me I look pretty good :) Also, when calling to register for the one day birth class offered at the hospital in March, found out it was FULL. ARe you kidding me?! Now, we are forced to take the FIVE week class - we go every Wednesday in March for two and half hours on a Wednesday. It doesn't end until 9:00 - don't they know that's Rob's bedtime?!!
Looking forward to: our trip to Phoenix over my birthday, organizing all the clothes my mom and I washed in the armoire, showers, and my birthday!

Sidenote: Took the glucose screening test for diabetes this week at the doctor. I had really worked myself up that the "orange crush" you have to drink was going to be awful. I was DREADING it. But, I woke up, got ready for work, and pounded that beverage! And, it wasn't too bad - like drinking an orange pop. Then, I drove straight to the doctor and told them what time I finished the beverage so they could draw my blood exactly one hour later. No news is good news, so I'm praying I don't hear from them. My doctor did say though that I have low iron, so feel free to indulge in some hamburgers :) Shouldn't be a problem!
