26 Weeks

How far along: 26 weeks (11/8/15)

Baby size: Head to heel, about 14 inches.  And just over 1-2/3 pounds. 

Total weight gain: 19 pounds. (no, I didn't gain 5 pounds since last week, I only weigh myself every few weeks, so I don't update every week)

Maternity clothes: Maternity pants and shirts make up my wardrobe now! I might even have to get a couple more long sleeved shirts, since I'm struggling to find things that fit me now. 

Stretch marks: No new ones. 

Sleep: I've been using a pillow between my legs and I've been much more comfortable and able to sleep better. 

Best moment this week: Finding out my close friend is also going to have a baby boy, just a few weeks after Baby K2 arrives! :) 

Miss anything? Exercising like I used to.  I get Braxton Hicks and sore quickly with intense exercise so I'm sticking to walking a mile each day, stretching, and yoga. 

Movement: Yes!  He's still more active in the evenings, and I can go almost all day without feeling much.  I think he flipped again this week because all my movement I'm feeling is super low again.  I'm also going to ask at my next dr appointment if I have an anterior placenta and if that's why I'm not feeling much movement.  

Food cravings: Nothing this week that I can think of.
