26 Weeks!!

Last week of second trimester...insert mini-freakout ::here::

How far along are you?

Maternity clothes: 

always...I'm about to buy a few maxi dresses for the summer

Stretch marks?:  

On my hiney!!  I was NOT a happy camper to find those!  

Still applying Palmers religiously

But I've started getting spider veins on my belly?!  

I guess because I'm so white and just don't tan

Sleep?: 

Eh, some days are great, others not so much.  Depends on how he's laying.

Best moment this week?:

feeling him move even more.  The past 3 or so days he's been kicking up a storm for 30 minutes or so, then sleeps for an hour or two and starts up again.  

Movement?: 

A TON!

Food cravings?:

Starting to not have many, if any...at least nothing recurring

Food aversions?:

Not too bad, kind of depends on the day

Labor signs?: 

NO!  Stay put Baby!

Belly button in or out?: 

In, but getting less deep.  My belly button is normally REALLY deep, but not so much.  For the first time in my life, I can see the bottom of my belly button.  LOL

What I miss: 

not being tired all the time!  

Once I'm awake for 4 hours, I'm ready to crawl back in to bed

What I'm looking forward to: 

getting our place so I can set up Pierce's nursery

What I'm not looking forward to: 

Summer, I'm already hot! 

We've already hit 91 degrees!

Another round of pain from the hydronephrosis

Milestone: 

Feeling him kick above my belly button...maybe he's finally turning vertical and will stop snuggling my kidneys like they're his first teddy bears!
