26 weeks


How far along: 26 weeks

Weight gain/loss: +14 lbs.

Maternity clothes? Just about everything I wear these days is maternity, except a few dresses

Stretch marks: none

Sleep: getting a good night's sleep is becoming difficult...Sunday night was the worst yet

Best moment this week: making a stuffed animal for Bruce. When the girl at Build-A-Bear asked who it was for, I said his name and R patted my belly and said, "This guy".

Food cravings: anything sweet...particularly the Snickers and Twix ice cream bars in my freezer

Gender: boy

Belly button in or out: still in, but getting pretty flat

Movement: lots, but strangely mostly on the left side

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach

What I'm looking forward to: our childbirth classes starting next week

Weekly wisdom: I'm lacking wisdom this week.

Milestones: one more week until 3rd trimester!

You look great! :-) That's a cute idea to make a teddy bear!

I saw a few weeks ago you mentioned that you bought video monitors, do you mind me asking what kind and where you got them? I'm hoping to start buying a few things now so that we are not overloaded when the time comes.

Kayla, we got the Summer Infant Day & Night video monitor.

My SIL used it with my nephew (and I used it too when I babysat) and loved it. You can't go wrong with that one. That same company makes other similar video monitors and I've heard good things about all of them.

Sorry you are having trouble sleeping, is it that you keep having to get up to use the toilet or just uncomfortable? I deal with both but when I bought a Snoogle it helped so much with positioning. In case you are desperate.

And by the way your post made me want ice cream! :)
