26 Weeks

For those of you who were notified that Cynford's Blog has been updated, let me warn you - this is Cindy, not Brad. As you read in the last post from our vacation, Brad has retired but might make a comeback to blog our travels in 18 years. (Maybe I can get him to offer up a "celebrity post" about our baby...doubtful.)

It's been a couple of weeks since I've provided an update about Baby B. All is going well, we (her and I) are both growing each and every day. The heat is getting worse, so I'm trying to stay inside as much as I can. We took a 2 week vacation, as most of you already know, which some people like to call a "babymoon." We had a blast touring ballparks around the country and I didn't have to drive 1 mile of it! Thanks Bradford! :)

I continue to shop for baby girl clothes - I can see how it can easily become an addiction. Baby showers will be coming up next month and I'm so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family to host the parties. I can't wait to see everyone!

So that's it for now. Here are some of the milestones of the last couple of weeks:

How far along? 26 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +22 lbs. (I'm hoping to not go up much more than this---yeah right)
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Start out on my side like I'm supposed to, but end up on my back - no major consequences as of yet
Best moment this week: Scheduled a 4D ultrasound
Movement: Mostly in the morning and evening
Food cravings: I had my share of ballpark food over the last 2 weeks, which addressed my craving for nacho cheese
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? kind of non-existent
What I miss: getting in and out of a car easily
What I am looking forward to: 4D ultrasound
Weekly Wisdom: swimming is heaven
