how far along: 26 weeks, 2 days

{ we had 2 photo shoots this weekend and I didn’t even think to have Todd take my picture! I’ll have to update when we get our photos back! ooops…}

size of baby: a head of lettuce {13.6 – 14.8 inches, 1.5-2.5 pounds}

gender: little miss!

weight gain: up 13.8 pounds to 141.8 {nope, not 142 quite yet}

maternity clothes: all the way…I’m living in my “softest leggings” from the Gap! best. pants. ever.

stretch marks: still keeping them away!

rings: on

nursery: so much progress was made this weekend! we’ve organized a lot, my dad and Todd painted and were able to set up our changing table/dresser system! I love how its coming along, although I’m realizing we have much less room than I was originally picturing, so I’m going to have to forgo some of the cute extra stuff I had wanted to be in there… {sneak peek}

movement: like crazy, I’m still obsessed!

symptoms: sciatic pains

sleep: sleeping really well, until the early morning comes around! then she likes to have a dance party! last week I was just giving in and getting up around 5:30, which was nice because I had time to make breakfast for the hubby and I, pack our lunches, AND shower and get ready! that basically has never happened!

cravings: sweets. {candy, cake, hot chocolate, doughnuts, & cinnamon rolls}

aversions: nothing in particular

what I miss: coffee with vanilla creamer!

best moment this week: there was so much…loved doing our mini maternity photo sessions, we got to have a nice date night in Malibu Saturday {with an amazing view} and made SO much progress in the nursery! so very grateful to my husband and dad for all of their hard work!

Bumpdate {20 weeks}

how far along: 20 weeks, 2 days! we’re halfway there!!

size of baby: a banana {6.5 inches, 10.2 ounces}

gender: has been confirmed by Kaiser! can’t wait to share on a post later this week!

weight gain: 136 this morning! up 8 pounds…

maternity clothes: finally purchased a couple pairs of maternity jeans from the Gap and a couple shirts at Target. I’ve only worn one pair of the pants, but they are heavenly! like pulling on sweatpants that just happen to look like jeans! I don’t think I’ll ever give them up!
stretch marks: still in the clear
rings: they’re on! even got a polish and steam clean last week!

nursery: no progress…

movement: same little swimming around feelings, especially when I lay still after being up and about all day!

symptoms: dizziness when I get up fast {doctor said this was from having a healthy low blood pressure, so I’ll take it!}, and some lower back, sciatic pain.  I’m trying to get into the habit of doing my prenatal yoga video to help my body as it changes – can’t quite get into the habit though…

sleep: the same…pretty good just potty and adjustment breaks.

cravings: loving sweets! and not so healthy foods {bring on pizza and burritos!}, but my aversions to chicken and fish aren’t so bad, so I’m doing a little better!
aversions: not too much, nothing specific I can think of!

what I miss: being able to do everyday activities without feeling light headed or woozy! 

best moment this week: spending the afternoon with the hubby on Tuesday for our anatomy scan appointment {seeing our little one wiggling all around is still so amazing!} and running fun errands like getting maternity clothes, window shopping in the baby sections and my ring polished!

looking forward to: the wedding festivities this week and weekend for our best friends! lets hope the alterations on my bridesmaid dress help it zip up!!
