26 Weeks

This post is short and sweet.

How far along? 26 Weeks AND we have less than 100 days to go!!!!
Total weight gain/loss: + about 16
Maternity clothes? Yes. Lots of stretchy, low cut, elastic for me.
Sleep: Weird dreams.  Nothing really notable, just nightly weird dreams.
Best moments this past week:  Lukas' school had a really successful discovery night.  It is really fun to watch him speaking in front of over 100 people and then going back to the lab and answering questions in smaller groups.  He really is good at what he does.  Someone even asked another teacher what his credentials were because he looked so young!  Haha!
Food cravings: This week I have been back to Coke.
Other Cravings??  Okay, even I would be annoyed as the reader of this next statement, but I have had serious bursts of exercise cravings this pregnancy.  I have real moments where I WANT to go for a nice sprinty angry music heart rate pumping run, or take a kick boxing class.  I hold on to those moments in anticipation for when I'm ready to start into the hardcore again and hope that my muscle memory is as strong as these "cravings" have been.   
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss:  Christmas Vacation
What I am looking forward to: This Saturday I am hosting a yard sale.  I really hope that it goes well because I want to go nursery shopping and start making things to decorate with!  I am looking forward to showing you nursery pictures!  (Not to mention getting rid of stuff, cleaning out my front room, decluttering, a few of my favorite things!)
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep when you're tired.  As for me, that must mean fall asleep at 7pm on Monday and not wake up until 7am Tuesday.  Yes, seriously!

And now the baby is...

An eggplant! He's also about a pound and 2/3. His eyes are forming and will be blinking in the next couple of weeks! His hearing is heightened and he's really getting to know the sound of our voices.  He's been hiccuping and moving like crazy these past few days!

And on a side note, I am going to go ahead and say it.  I have been very absent minded recently.  I know, insert airhead joke here at your leisure.  But seriously, I can't believe how often I can't remember simple thoughts from just minutes before hand.  It's a miracle that I am able to complete a blog post.
Last pregnancy at 26 weeks, I was celebrating Mother's Day!  Wowee!  If you want to see, go here
