26 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 26 weeks! 
Baby is the size of a: head of lettuce; measurements are roughly the same- over a foot long (roughly 13 inches) and around 2 pounds! 
Total weight gain: 15.8lbs 
Stretch marks? I think I’ve noticed a few popping up on my sides, but it’s hard to tell if they’re new or not because they’re so light in color.  Either way, I’m not too bothered by them!
Maternity clothes? All the time or leggings/workout pants 
Sleep: Still waking up once or twice a night to go pee and having some hip pain at night. 
Best moment this week: Nothing really stands out this week, just feeling Logan move all the time is amazing. 
Miss anything? Beer. 
Food cravings: Nothing new this week, normal appetite
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope. 
Gender: BOY!! 
Labor signs: I think I’ve had a few Braxton Hicks contractions this week. 
Symptoms: Occasional heartburn at night, gassy/burpy, some left hip pain this week, I had a migraine this week, and Logan likes to push on my bladder and it gives me the sensation that I always need to pee so that’s fun.  
Belly button in or out? Sometimes it sticks out a little and other times it’s flush with my belly. I think it depends on Logan’s position. 
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: getting everything situated for Logan’s room, seeing the genetic specialist and Logan again on the 14th. 

This week I’ve decided I don’t want a baby shower for several reasons... the main reason is we have the necessities for Logan.  Unfortunately for him, he’ll be getting a lot of hand me down clothes and toys so the last thing we need are more clothes and toys.  We saved all of the big items from when Caleb was a baby and our only needs are Logan’s crib, dresser and diapers/wipes.  If anyone wants to help or provide a gift, diapers and gift cards would be amazing.  But I don’t find it necessary to spend the money on invitations, decorations, food, drinks, favors etc. If we were having a girl, I’d feel differently but I think it’s silly to have a shower or “sprinkle” for another baby of the same gender as your first.
