26 Week Pregnancy Update

So... for the 26-week update.

Baby size: A pound and two-thirds and fourteen inches long. 

How far along: 26 weeks

Total weight gain: 9 pounds

Sleep: Worse. Bad cold and a sinus infection... that's really all that needs to be said.

Food cravings:  My mama's home cooking!

Symptoms:

Ligament Pain – Getting out of bed in the morning is starting to get uncomfortable... and yes, I know this gets worse.

Sciatica - It's been a lot more intense this week... I've had to do a lot of stretches.

Shortness of breath – It has been awful this week. Not sure if my sickness is contributing to it, but I feel like I can't take a good, deep breath. Makes going to sleep so hard!

Exercise:  Haven't worked out as much since I've been sick (and Randy won't let me!), but still getting a few days in a week. It actually helps my sciatica.

Movement: Still crazy little man in there.

What I’m looking forward to: Breathing normally again!!!

What I miss: Breathing normally. Did I mention breathing normally?

I will be so glad when we're all feeling well again! Landon has had a rough go of it, and taking care of a sick toddler while feeling yucky yourself is no fun. 

I love watching Landon kiss Colton (aka: my tummy) and feeling and seeing Colton go crazy when his daddy talks to him! Grateful, as always, for this gift God has blessed us with.

And... here is the comparison pic (pregnant with L on the right)... I still can't believe how much lower I'm carrying this time!
