26 week update

We played with photobooth a little bit today! Here's a picture of Addilyn and the baby belly! ;)


I had seen this questionnaire on another blog, thought I'd try it!

How
far along? 26weeks, 1 day.

How big is baby? My weekly emails told me our baby boy is the size of an English Hothouse Cucumber (is this a normal cucumber?)

Total weight gain: 13ish lbs-yeah...a little over the goal, but I'm trying to deal with it.

Maternity Clothes? Yep. Almost all I can wear. I can wear a few pre-pregnancy elastic band skirts or shorts but not many. ;) I even have pregnancy shirts that don't go over my belly anymore!!! Darn it!

Stretch marks? All over my stomach-mostly from Addilyn though, don't know that I've got any new ones, but maybe I have, who knows!

Sleep: Sadly, starting to have some serious issues lately...Oh well, I need to prepare myself for the lack of sleep that having two kids will bring! My biggest compliant-late night TV only being infomercials. Favorite part-getting lots of use of the recliner with just time for me feeling the baby move!

Movement: Some days I feel him move around all day long, other days only at calm times. Just depends on the day! But, it's starting to get the point that you can see him move-it's awesome!! Today, Addilyn felt him move for the first time! It totally freaked her out, it was really cute!

Food cravings: Not really. I just have to be really careful what is in my house-if it's bad for me, I will eat. it. all. Mostly dealing with constant hunger, which certainly doesn't help with the weight gain!

What I miss: Being able to pick up Addilyn whenever she wanted, without thinking or having to listen to her cry and whine. I have to be careful how long or how much I pick her up now...If I don't, those Braxton Hicks start a comin'. My little snuggler has got to get used to though, she's going to have to share Mommy's lap and arms when the baby gets here!

Names: We've sort of got it down between two or three...but, aren't totally sold on those yet. All (serious) suggestions welcome!
