How Far Along Are You? 26 Weeks

Baby Size? Eggplant est. 9.2 inches & 2 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app)

What Are The Doctors Saying? Yesterday, I had my first doctors appointment since I've moved. So far, I love the staff and it seems extremely close to the doctor's office I went to back in North Carolina. Hunter's heartbeat was great but he's a stubborn boy and just liked in the hospital he doesn't seem to like any doctor equipment. As soon as the nurse put the Doppler on my stomach he tried to kick it off. He's going to be a handful when he's older, I can already tell. The Physicians Assistance I saw said that I am perfect with my weight gain as well as my fundus height (26 inches). I also was able to know out an hour glucose test while I was there. Lets just hope there's no abnormalities with the results so I don't have to do the nasty 3 hour long test. Here's to hoping I found the right doctor's office and midwife!

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds 

Clothing: I officially outgrew my last pair of Hollister jeans (some old size 9's). It was a really sad day because there was a point to wear I couldn't fit into any sizes that Hollister made. I outgrew my HCO size 7's a few weeks ago but I'm determined to get back into them. 

Stretch Marks: None, and trying everything to keep it that way! After 3 unsuccessful visits to Walmart to find Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter, I finally found it Wednesday! I've only used it twice so far. As of know I'm liking my Palmers's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks better just because of how much easier it is to use. The tummy butter is in a tub and I feel like I'm runnin a magic genie trying to get it out while the massage lotion is just in a pump. I guess we'll see after a few more uses. I'm using both as of know since the tummy butter's directions said, "For best results use Palmers's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks first followed by Palmers's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter." I guess we'll see. 

Sleep: I've actually been sleeping a lot better lately. I don't know if it's that fact I'm so worn out with all the wedding festivities or if it's the fact I'm just getting more and more tired.

Best Moment This Week: Going to the doctors! I never thought I would be so excited to go to the doctor's! I'm loving the office and staff.

Labor Signs: Just the occasional braxton hicks.

Belly Button In Or Out? While the belly button is still officially in, I can now make it go out!

Movement: Hunter is a little ninja! He is always on the move now! I still haven't adjusted to the feeling of him flipping inside of me yet.

Food Cravings: Of course I'm craving the things I shouldn't really being eating! I've been craving lunch meat especially turkey, ham, and cheddar sandwiches. We are also suppose to be going to Bubba Gump's on Saturday with some of the wedding party and I can't wait to get my hands on some cocktail shrimp and especially Bubba's Far Out Dip!

Looking Forward To: Today is my little sisters wedding! It's also why I wasn't able to update yesterday since I was running around like a chicken with its head chopped off. From the uninvited wedding guest (Tropical Storm Andrea) to the delayed flights, it was a very hectic day!
