22-26 weeks

How far along? 26 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: At my Dr.'s visit on Thursday it was 20 pound...OUCH!!!

Maternity clothes?Yes...I feel like every time I get a descent little collection of clothes, I grow right out of them!!!! I am trying not to by anything else but to just wear the stitches out of what I have

Stretch marks? Have not seen any yet.


Symptoms: I have been feeling pretty good.


Sleep: I have been sleeping better, just getting up to use the bathroom


Best moment this week:
had some great moments!! Went to Nashville with Dexter and Sarah and we did some serious shopping...found lots of great baby deals.

 I also got to see my brother's little girls, they were in town. I haven't seen them since Christmas. So was extra fun. 
Lee is now able to feel Baby Boy Gates move around and that has been very EXCITING!!!!


Have you told family and friends: Yes!

Miss Anything?
I didn't do very well on my 1hour Glucose test, bummer, so I had to do the 3hour one..miserable.. my numbers were high but I didn't fail. The Dr. feels like diet and exercise will take care of it.  I have been watching my carbs and sugar (something I always did before I was prego) I feel better, however, I am still craving the carbs (everything POTATO...french fries!!!!) fast food and sugar. But I know it is for the best and was a blessing in disguise because I don't like to eat unhealthy and that is all I have done this pregnancy!!!


Movement: Oh yes...Little Man is all over the place. His long legs are kicking up a storm. I have even seen my belly move...that was WEIRD!!!...LOL


Food cravings: I was on a pita/hummus phase, now it back to fast food fries (cause I am not letting myself eat them and it's all I want)


Anything making you queasy or sick: not really anything



Have you started to show yet: LOL

Baby is a:  Little Man

Belly Button in or out? Still in.


Wedding rings on or off? On


Happy or Moody most of the time:  I think happy, my Hubby may not agree..LOL!!! I would say just tired.


Looking forward to: getting through this HOT summer :)

What I'm reading:
can't remember the name but it is the WEEK by WEEK of pregnancy and that has been really fun to keep up with. We also watch a weekly u-tube video of babies growth progress.
