My
mornings: It's so nice not having to wake up at 4 a.m. except for the waking up every other hour nonsense.
How far along: 26 weeks, 4 days
How big is baby: Baby He-Man is 14 inches and weighs over 1.75 pounds, according to some web sources. I would love to have another US to know how big or small he is measuring. He was measuring ahead at my last US and it would be comforting to know that he was bigger than average at this point in the pregnancy. Of course, then I would want him to be smaller when it comes closer to delivery.
Weight:
Starting weight: 130
Total weight gain: 23 ... same as last week.
This week: 153
How I’m changing: My boobs are still leaking a little bit with a few drops of blood every day. It's not much, but at night my shirts are soaked on the front from the leakage.
What
I miss: Warm weather.
Stretch marks: I have them on my butt cheeks. I keep lotion slathered on my belly because it itches all the time so maybe that will help, even though I know it's all genetics and those lotions are crap. However, they do help make the belly feel better.
Movement: He is making my whole belly move more lately. If I drink OJ or apple juice, it's like a dance party in there!
Gender: We're Team He-Man!!
Symptoms: Headaches. Gas. Heartburn. Constant
peeing. And for the past couple days I've had heartburn/spontaneous vomiting because of burping. Yum. Luckily, Tums in fruit flavors are kinda good and take care of it so far.
Cravings: I'm craving a Firehouse salad again. Mmmmm....
Food Aversions: Nothing.
Highlights this week: Today was my doctor's appointment and test for gestational diabetes. OB said they would only call me back if I failed the test. So far I haven't heard anything. Sidenote: I am eating a cupcake.
The drink itself wasn't that bad. It tasted like a flat, really sugary soda. But whoooooboy, does it make you feel like you've drunk about 10 times too much sugar. I instantly felt sick, but nothing to the point of vomiting. But I did get some sweats for a little while. The baby was ALL OVER THE PLACE. Once she took my blood, I said "Don't I get a cookie or something?" Apparently not. They really should have snacks for women after this test. I may make that suggestion.

Sleep: I wish it was better, and really wish my hips
didn't hurt so bad.

Gender: We're Team He-Man!!
Labor signs: I think I am getting a few Braxton Hicks, but nothing
bad yet.
Belly button: I will still be an innie for a while, but I can tell that it's changing.
What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to maybe getting more work done on the nursery this weekend. I want to paint and get the crib in.

Milestones: I am almost to the 3rd trimester! I think it starts at the end of week 27. Sooooo close.
FYI: I have no idea why the font is being weird in this post. I will try to fix that later.
