These weeks are going by so quickly. I can’t believe I’m already 26 weeks pregnant with Baby G4!
She’s still growing in the 13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and developing her senses, features and talents! His eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open, his eyelashes are now grown, too. He’s getting his immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies. She’s taking breaths, too. They’re of amniotic fluid, not air, but it’s still good practice.
How Far Along: 26 Weeks
Due Date: January 15th, 2016
Boy or girl: Team Green
Currently craving: Ice cream and salad.
Currently Avoiding: Nothing that I can think of!
Weight: 7lbs!
Belly button status: IN!
Sleep grade: Lots of tossing and turning this week and both Kyla and Mason still wake up at least once in the middle of the night.
Recent Crazy Dream: I dreamed I was pregnant and trying to get the kids into someone elses’ car and the father of my children was not being helpful and just took off with his friends in a car leaving me totally abandoned and having to walk home since the car the kids were in was full.
Evidence of pregnancy brain: Just being forgetful even with a calendar always on hand!
Symptoms?: Heartburn and feeling full way sooner than usual!
Health/Appointments: Nothing this week other than my weekly shot where they also do a blood pressure check and check the baby’s heartbeat. Baby was around 140 and my blood pressure is good. These shots in the butt are getting old. At this point I have 10 more shots if I decide to go to 36 which I probably will.
Movement: Baby has been slower but always pretty active after midnight! Still kicking/punching super low.
Any baby related purchases?: Nothing this week, we really don’t need much.
Best Thing About This Week: Laying down with my two littles cuddling before bed while the baby in my belly dances away.
