I look HUGE in this photo. I think it is the dress more than the baby bump, though. |
How far along: Twenty Six weeks as of Wednesday, April 9, 2014.
Size of baby: Lima Bean is about 14 inches from head to heel, the size of a scallion, and weighs about 1 2/3 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: Pretty much everything is maternity now, with the exception of some dresses I wear as tunics.
Movement: Lima Bean is a mover and a shaker!
Sex of baby: It's a girl!
Sleep: Fine.
What I miss: A nice glass of white wine! The weather was nice this week and I would have loved to relax outdoors and sip a glass of wine. Funny, semi-related story: Mark and I attended a wedding this week. I sidled up to the bar and asked for a glass of iced tea, after I heard the woman in front of me order one. The bartender gave me a somewhat odd look, which I didn't really understand (clue #1), but poured the tea into a glass. I thought it was weird the glass was short, rather than tall and thin, but figured that was all they had (clue #2). I took a sip and immediately knew this was not your average iced tea! Nope, I had been served a glass of the "special" tea--i.e. the tea mixed with some kind of strong alcohol! Because I had not had anything to drink in so long, I could feel the alcohol going to my head and giving me a buzzing feeling. Whoops. The drink clearly was discarded and I followed it up with a glass of water. A sip obviously does no harm to the baby, but I still felt guilty about it. Sorry, Lima Bean!
Cravings: Fresh foods--lots of vegetables, etc. This is a rare healthy craving, so I will take it!
Symptoms: The "side stitch" pain I experienced during Henry's pregnancy is back. It is on the right side again. It seems to have lasted a bit longer this time, but even so, it only stuck around for two or three days.
What I'm looking forward to: Enjoying a glass of wine once Lima Bean arrives!
