26 week update (1 day early)

How Far Along: 26 weeks (but 1 day early)

How big is our little bean: size of a hothouse cucumber (ie. 35.6cm).  Last week scan put our little one at 790grams — just under 2 lbs.

Total Weight Gain: Weighted last week and I am currently +8.5kg.

Maternity Clothes: Getting tighter by the day.  Had to retire some smaller tops.

Sleep: 8 hrs still but having some interesting dreams these days.  One dream last week involved shopping for little cute swimsuits for the little one. 

Other Symptoms: Heartburn has eased up.  My face is looking more swollen by the day but maybe I’m just packing on the weight there. 

Best Moment this Week: Seeing our little one and the anatomy parts that 100% confirms our little one is a girl last week.  Her cute little chicken thigh and butt. 

Movement: Definite movements still although she is less excited after dinner these days.  She’s definitely a meat lover.  And the little one can definitely hit/kick hard.  It’s quite impressive to watch the belly roll left or right depending on her mood.  Also, she started responding to my poking.  When she’s inactive for a lot of hours, I’ll gently poke/push her and she’ll usually respond — probably annoyed that someone woke her up.

Food Cravings: No change — still always hungry!

What are You Looking Forward to this Week: counting down from 99 days today!  Every week that goes by means every week that our little one has a higher chance of survival.
