Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 26 Weeks, 2 days
Size of baby: 15 inches, 2.2 pounds; cucumber
Total Weight Gain: 8 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Wearing them. Loving them. Still wearing all of my pre-pregnancy sun dresses. Can still wear low rise pre-pregnancy pants, they just aren't as comfortable as elastic waistbands! I am also about to have to buy some new maternity polos for work, mine are getting a little short and I've never been a fan of the belly shirt.
Gender: Unknown. Still don't want to find out. Folks still predicting girl.
Movement: Moving a lot. Baby's new nickname is "wiggle worm." During church yesterday the baby kicked so hard that I gasped out loud. My new favorite thing is to watch my belly wiggle around like a bowl full of jelly. :)
Sleep: Still waking up multiple times to pee in the night. This was supposed to decrease during the second trimester and it didn't for me. This makes me a little nervous about the third trimester when it is supposed to increase again. I am also waking up once or twice a week with leg cramps now. I am drinking tons of water and increasing my potassium. I think they are plaguing me because I stand up all day at work; I am trying to sit more.

Symptoms: Heartburn, fatigue, leg cramps, backache
Food Cravings/Aversions: Beef sounds good to me all the time. Still enjoying all things cold with the record high temperatures we have been having I have doubled my already large liquid consumption. Slushes, powerade, orange juice, grapefruit juice. I really really really wish we had a shaved ice stand.
What I am looking forward to: Cooler weather. Meeting the wiggle worm.
