(Happy 15 Months to Superman! Happy 3rd Birthday to my puppy, Clyde!)
How far along: 26 weeks
Baby's size: Eggplant (Month 6 - week 25-28) or English Hothouse Cucumber for week 26 (about 14 inches long)
Symptoms: My big ole' belly is starting to really get in the way. My back is feeling better, but I have to wear the brace almost all the time. Not sure what else to say...
Total Weight Gain:
Okay, long story- I had an ob appointment with the nurse practitioner instead of my ob on Monday so I used a different scale to get weighed. According to that scale I gained 8 pounds this month!!!!! I was so thrown by that number that I came home and weighed myself (and because the normal scale at the ob office is about 2 pounds less than my home scale so I figured it would tell me if the NP scale was accurate or just way off). Well I weighed 5 pounds more than the last time (still not great). That would mean that if I weighed in at my ob's office I would have only been up 3 pounds. So I decided to split the difference between my home scale and what I speculated my normal ob scale would have said. Confused? Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Weight gain this past month= +4
Total weight gain= +8 pounds

Maternity clothes: Yes
Best moment this week: Passing my blood glucose test!
Movement: Lots and lots of movements!
Food cravings: None really. I haven't been as hungry lately. I seem to be filling up a lot faster and so not many things are sounding great.
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor signs: none
What I miss:Being able to tie my shoes properly.
What I'm looking forward to: We are going to buy a new car!! We have been researching for months and have finally narrowed it down to two different versions of the Odyssey (XL-E with RES or Touring). We are going to go and test drive them on Sunday and then go from there. The Touring is a lot easier to get than the XL-E, but we aren't sure we really need all the features that the Touring add. Car buying really has changed quite a bit since we bought my Prius in '07. I will have to write a post about this "new" experience.
Weekly Wisdom (aka what I learned this week): A lot more people have children close together than I had previously thought. It seems like where ever Superman and I go now a days people are telling me about their kids less than 2 years a part. Nice to know that I am not the only nutty
Milestones: Passing blood glucose test.
Emotions: My anxiety is A LOT better this week.
