How far along? 26 Weeks
Baby is the size of a: VHS tape, acorn squash, zucchini
Total weight gain: still only 5 lbs!
Stretch marks? Starting to develop more across the top of my belly. Winifred gave me some right at my belly button but Daphne Grace has gifted me with another layer right on top. Tiger stripes, right?
Baby Development: Daphne Grace has gained enough fat to be able to regulate her own body temperature! She is soaking in all of mama’s protein to keep growing that big ole brain. She is a busy bee in there. She is coughing, breathing, and even dreaming!
Movement: Movement is getting stronger but I still can’t see it on the outside yet! She moves the most when I’m holding Winifred, which I’m just obsessed with.
Food cravings: Chocolate. I legit cannot go to bed without having SOMETHING chocolate. I’m not proud.
Miss Anything? Being able to breath without a tiny human on my lungs.
Symptoms: It’s weird dream time, y’all! I actually enjoy this pregnancy symptom because the dreams are just so outrageous.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on
Mood? Anxious. I’m so ready to get out of Midland for a while!
Winifred Update: I’m now calling her Winifred the Giggler. She finds joy in the littlest thing and it makes my heart swell. She is pulling up on everything and scooting around all the furniture. It’s time to hide all the hazardous knick knacks. Her current favorite activity is pulling off all the DVDs and sliding them under the entertainment center. She is a book worm and will sit in my lap and read 5 or 6 books at a time. I love watching her brain grow with her personality.
Looking forward to: THE BEACH! We are off to Houston/Galveston to spend some much-needed time away from Midland and with our families.
