Almost 26 Weeks

*This week the baby is:   Head to bum 9.4 inches, and 1.8-2.2 pounds.  
*How far along:  25w5d
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013
*Total Weight gain/loss:  Holding a bit steadier with the weight gain.  Around 160.4?  Hopefully.  I shall weigh again in the near future I'm soon.  So in three weeks up about a 1.5 pounds instead of 3 like the pattern was.  So around 24.5 pounds at 26 weeks.  
*Maternity Clothes: I bought a pair of low-rise silver jeans the other day.  Yay for having pants that feel like me again!  I found an awesome coral maxi-dress at RW and Co and a white skirt with eyelet (sp?) lace at the bottom (knee length) at Thyme.  
Sleep:  Been able to sleep in a bit very recently.  But still tned ot get up early.  
*Best moment this week:  Hmmm... baby is kicking and moving my belly a lot more now.  My whole belly moves now often.  I was very excited to find that dress at RW and Co.  
*Movement?  See the above.
*Food Cravings:  Nope.
*Symptoms: Lots of Braxton Hicks happening these days.   Specifically the last week or so.  They are more uncomfortable now.  Not painful but they kinda can take my breath away a little bit the way the squeeze feels.  The other morning I woke up and rolled and picked up my pillow off the floor and it created the biggest BH I have had.  Normally my lower tummy just gets hard but this time my whole uterus got super tight.  About five or ten minutes later another one.  Kinda cool.  Makes you wonder about what labour will be like and preterm labour.
 Gender: September will tell the answer.  :)
*Labor Signs: Noper.
*Belly Button in or out:  Still in, and getting a bit shallower again.
*Feeling toward Pregnancy:  It's the primary thing I think about.  I enjoy learning lots about the baby and labour and all things in between.  
*What I miss:  Hmmm... being able to bend at the waist?  Haha, no it's kinda fun feeling so awkward.  
*What I'm looking forward to: Being done work and moving and selling the house.  Please pray it goes fast!  We have a rental waiting for us in Blumenort if we can sell the house soon!
*Milestones:  At 26 weeks, baby has an 80% chance of survival!
*Any new stretchmarks: Maybe a couple more on my thighs and hips.  Still none, thankfully, on my belly.  The ones I have are daker.  
 *Things We Have Gotten:  I bought a potential going home outfit for the baby the other day.  I have gotten a fuzzy sleep bag for the baby and a couple sleepers from some ladies at work.
