Preggers VI: 26 Weeks

This is the post for 26 weeks with Baby 6, but I didn't post 26 weeks ( or several weeks thereafter) with Hunter, or Lee Lee.  I guess by this point in the pregnancies, I have a lot going on and growth updates didn't make the cut on the to-do list.

How far along?  

26 weeks, 4 days

How I am feeling? 

EMOTIONAL!  I don't remember feeling this way with other pregnancies... but maybe I was and that was why I didn't post updates these weeks -- because I didn't want to post when I was so emotional?

How big is the baby?  

The length of a scallion... 14 inches long, 1.66 pounds

Sleep: 

Sleep is nice -- a little less comfortable but I can definitely tell a difference in my attitude and patience when I've had less sleep.

Boy/Girl Predictions:  

I am very torn.  I think its a girl... just instinct, but every time I scratch my shoulders and my arms (which is often), I remember how itchy I was when I was pregnant with Hunter and then I think it must be a boy.

Baby Nicknames: 

Baby.

 

  Best moment this week:  

We had great Daddy-Daughter and Mama-Howard dates last Saturday.

Food cravings: 

Non-spicy things.  I had some major heartburn a few days ago and so now I'm being very cautious with what I eat for dinner.

Movements:  

Yes, TONS!  I don't remember the other babies moving this much, but it is wonderful.  I love the baby movements.

Labor Signs:  

Not yet, thankfully.

 

Missing:  

The kids went roller skating on Saturday and I am very excited for my non-pregnant days ahead when I can go roller skating with them.

 

General Attitude: 

Emotional.

 What I am looking forward to this week:  

Nothing in particular.  Just another busy week ahead.

Milestones: 

I have stopped doing normal workouts for the time being and I am focusing just on pregnancy workouts -- they are not easy, but they are different and have never don that before.  When I was pregnant with Hunter, I did regular workouts as long as I could and when I was too tired to do those, I didn't do any.  With the other kiddos, I didn't workout regularly.  I'm excited to finish this pregnancy strong with as many workouts as possible, and pregnancy workouts definitely count.
