Week 26

Week 26
·  Size of baby: He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber.. whatever that is) from head to heel.

·  Weight gain: No idea   
·  Symptoms experienced: Foot cramps and Charlie horses all around!!  And I am officially uncomfortable sleeping on my side.

·  How I feel: Extremely nervous as D Day approaches... (we delivered Max at 27 weeks)
·  What I've been craving: Sweets. Go figure. And bbq. Pulled pork bbq.
·  What I miss: Seeing my feet. Being anonymous in my pregnancy. Now strangers talk to me about him. I liked it better when no one knew.
·  Best moment: My mom is still here (!) and it has been wonderful having her to hang out with during the day. And she talks to Baby A and taps on my stomach when he’s wiggly. She’s even paused the TV to watch him roll. To me… her interest is almost like the president doing a speech in his bathing suit. Unheard of! My mom is a ‘don’t ask don’t tell” kind of person with personal lives. So having her interested in her grandbaby is HUGE and awesome.
·  Items purchased: A can of acrylic sealant for his room mural. Woo! I am DONE painting!

Once my mom leaves on the 14^th I will probably get back to writing more about things as they happen.. instead of trying to remember them later when I have time.
