26 Weeks for Baby A

How far along? 26 weeks (as of Friday)
How big is the peanut? The size of a scallion (length wise I'm guessing), or a chuck roast 😂
Total weight gain/loss? Gain. We'll leave it there.
Maternity clothes? Between 2 friends' loans and a couple shopping trips I can now happily report I have clothes that fit :)
Sleep? Been using the body pillow Kelly loaned me. It's interesting. I think I like it. 
Best moment this week?  Casey and I picked out a few outfits for baby. First things we've specifically bought for this little one. 
Symptoms? Um... Nothing I feel like sharing? Just... Go read a pregnancy book. They're fairly accurate :)
Food cravings? Grapes! Red grapes. And ice water. 
Food aversions? Sadly, chick-fil-a is back on the banned list :(
Gender? Still a secret for Grandma and Grandpa Wase, so shhh...
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? We're still in, barely. Didn't you want to picture my belly button? Ew.
What I miss? The beach. Oh wait, you meant in regards to pregnancy? Well...More clothing options. That's about it. 
What I'm looking forward to? Next appointment and hearing that heartbeat again. Kicks every day. Seeing Casey take care of baby. 
Milestones? Nothing this week I don't think. 
Bump?

25 Week Update: Cauliflower/Rutabaga

How far along? 25 weeks (as of Friday)
How big is the peanut? The size of a cauliflower (or Rutabaga if that's your thing)
Total weight gain/loss? Gain. We'll leave it there.
Maternity clothes? Yes! (when I packed for the beach 2 weekends ago, normal clothes fit. By midweek at the beach, nope!)
Sleep? I'm getting it, and I'm thankful (even if it doesn't ease the back aches)
Best moment this week?  Hearing Lil Cauliflower's heartbeat at the checkup (going strong in the 140's!) and hearing that we're right on track with measurement.
Symptoms? Um...belly, check. Peeing, check. Tired, check. Tears, check. Anything else?
Food cravings? Mostly just fresh things---fresh veggies, fresh fruit, fresh ICE CREAM bahaha.
Food aversions? Greasy food (I miss you Bojangle's, and I promise to make it up to you one day!!!)
Gender? Still a secret for Grandma and Grandpa Wase, so shhh...
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? We're still in, barely. Didn't you want to picture my belly button? Ew.
What I miss? My favorite jeans. And Bojangle's. And Mt. Dew. I'm done crying now.
What I'm looking forward to? Seeing Lil Cauliflower!!! Also, being done with the glucose test (next apppointment, bleh.)
Milestones? Mmm...we're in month 6. We know gender. I've officially "outgrown" my normal clothes. What else to say?
Bump? Yup! The last week or two is the first time that random people have said something to me about being pregnant, so I know it's for real noticeable now...not just doughnut belly anymore :)
