How far along: 26 Weeks, 5 Days
Total weight gain: Haven’t been on the scale this week. Probably a good thing. I also haven’t been to the gym this week. I’d been doing SO well, but dropped the ball over the past week or so, as we’ve been super busy.
To add to my lack of gym time, my lovely father said to me yesterday, “You’re really carrying much bigger this time!” Add that to the list of comments that require a follow-up punch in the gut.
Maternity clothes: I still need more maternity clothes. Haven’t bought anything since I last mentioned that.
Stretch marks: Still stretch mark free… which reminds me, I STILL need to buy more vitamin e oil.
Sleep: I’ve been sleeping pretty well lately. I’ve actually been comfortable on my back. I have to be inclined and angled, but still. I’m pretty comfy.
Best moment of this week: We had a really great Valentine’s Day Weekend! It was a ton of fun! AND, we started our Love & Logic Class that I won… FOR FREE! The class is 6 weeks, 2 hours per week. We’ve had one class and already it’s great. I just love talking parenting and learning new ways to stay sane and better handle the tot.
Miss anything: I miss not feeling chubby. The past few days, I’ve not been feeling so pretty. I think I need to get my butt back to the gym.
Movement: This tiny man creature is SUCH a mover and a shaker. Multiple times this week, I’ve literally jumped out of my seat because he’s poked in such a way that feels like a part tickle, part inside pinch. Silly bugger.
Food cravings: I like sweet things. And pizza. I’ve also still been craving donuts. Before this pregnancy is over, I will have a donut.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Have you started to show yet: Just a bit.
Gender: A gentleman.
Labor signs: I have a decent amount of very mild braxton hicks.
Belly button in or out: My belly button is disappearing.
Wedding rings on or off: Mornings are my fingers’ least favorite time of day.
Happy or moody most of the time: I think I’ve been a happy little lady lately. As long as you’re not calling my fat. That tends to piss me off pretty quickly.
Looking forward to: We’re going to make some good progress on the rooms this weekend! I’m looking forward to that, because it’s really starting to stress me out.
Playing House 
My bestie who is also nearing her 3rd trimester just lamented to me that people have been telling her that she is sooooooo much bigger than last time. What she hears “You’re so much fatter than last time”. Perhaps we should educate people to just not ever comment on the size of a woman’s body. Ever. ;). You look fantastic btw!
Seriously, what is wrong with people?? Thank you! It’s so hard to feel great when I feel like I’m on display for all to analyze. Grrr! Maybe by my third trimester everyone will learn to just keep quiet. But something tells me that won’t be the case 🙂
Today when we were out someone said to my bestie “you look beautiful!” She lightened up and said “ohhhh thank you that is soooo good to hear!”
I just love those moments. Some people really know how to interact with pregnant mommas.
I was much bigger with Ezra than I was with Jude–belly and everything. Part of it was because I was carrying an extra 5 pounds from Jude and part of it was water retention and poor diet/exercising. I had a few comments about my size. Don’t let it bother you too much (kind of impossible, I know!)
You look great!
Thank you! I totally know that I need to just ignore it, but it’s always so much easier in theory.
