26 weeks:
How far along? 26w5d (head of lettuce)
Weight gain? Seems to fluctuate every day, somewhere between 12-15 lbs
Maternity Clothes? Yep, all the time. I can just baaaaarely zip up my coat now, and once when he was all balled up and sticking out I couldn't, haha. Also, I think I'm only a few weeks away from busting out of my normal size scrub tops.
Who have you told? No one new since the mass emails of last week.
Are you showing yet? Still yes. Guess I'll delete this question for next week.
Any movement? So much movement. I've heard people complain about movement before, and I don't get it. It's the most amazing thing ever. Also, it makes me majorly side eye the mom I met on my newborn rotation who claimed she didn't know she was pregnant until 29 weeks. #denial
Symptoms: Starting to get more tired/feeling large.
Best moment this week: We went to a baby store!! Actually 2.
Major milestones: No official milestones.
Major purchases this week: We went to 2 stores - one was a small local store. Really cute. We mostly went to try out car seats, but we obviously looked around. It was incredibly emotional for me. I have not let myself look at anything for him until this point, and the last time I looked at baby stuff was when I was pregnant the first time. We ended up buying some cute burp cloths, boon grass (which, I have learned, is an important thing for drying bottles), and a onesie that when I saw it it made me cry. It says "Dream big, little one". We also went to a big chain store and looked at some car seats and strollers, but didn't buy anything. Seeing Mr. E carrying around the car seat...wow. That made it feel very real. I can't wait to see him be a dad.
Looking forward to next week: THIRD TRIMESTER WTF HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?!?!
