26 Weeks

Hello little one...

As of yesterday you are 26 weeks, which means I have approximately 14 weeks until you are in my arms.  I can't believe it!  

What's going on with you:
  • You are about 2 pounds.  For only being 2 pounds you sure do pack a mean punch/kick.  
  • You are about 13 1/2 inches long.
  • You are hiccuping, although I haven't felt it yet.
  • All five of your senses are fully developed. 
  • You should be growing hair, but considering your daddy and I were both bald until about 2 years old, the cue-ball look might be in your future.
  • Your mommy can now see you move from the outside.  Love it!
What's going on with your mommy:
  • I am in the last and final week of the 2nd trimester.
  • My uterus is about the size of a soccer ball.  
  • I have been experiencing minor uterine contractions, especially in the evenings.  
  • I've also been experiencing minor back and side pain due to uncomfortable sleeping positions.  I'm a stomach sleeper and the whole side sleeping is not my cup of tea.
  • I'm right on track according to weight, gaining 20 pounds.  I still weigh less than Chad and I'm really hoping I don't break 200.  
  • In the past week, I started experiencing heart-burn.  Ouch!  I suppose I should cut back on the tomatoes, lemons, satsumas and other acidic foods.
  • I still want to eat beef...no chicken or fish for this mama.
  • I love how I feel...very healthy.
All is right in your little world, "Herm".  Keep snug and keep kicking.  

Love,
Mommy
