How Far Along: 26 weeks + 2 days pregnant.
Size of baby: The baby is as big as a ball of lettuce this week, or as long as a cucumber - psh, longer, I'd say.
Your baby has settled into a distinct sleep-wake pattern. You may notice that sometimes she's very active and kicking or punching, and other times she sleeps. If you're lucky, these patterns will mimic yours.
Symptoms: The back pain has stuck around, and I've had a LOT more tightening-style contractions or ligament stretches. I seriously think baby is sitting on top of my bladder {she was way down low at the scan} because I literally cannot stop peeing. Even when I've just used the loo, I feel like I need to visit it again. Crazy!
Cravings: Ice-cream with white chocolate ice-magic. Oh yes. And bananas. I'm back to the bananas.
Gender: This week's ultrasound says she is STILL a girl!!!! Can I start believing it yet?! :)
Movement: Baby girl is getting stronger and stronger. She still prefers night-time activity, and I love it.
Maternity Clothes: Stretchy skirts and singlet tops - hot, hot, hot Aussie weather this week.
Milestones: Having a 'perfectly boring' pregnancy, seeing baby girl on the 3D ultrasound, feeling good!
The belly: When I see it in pictures, it doesn't look any different - seriously, I feel like it's been this big since week 18!! But in person, I feel a LOT more out in front this week. I don't know; you tell me!

You look so darn cute! I love it. Glad you have an active baby on your hands! Such a great feeling. I remember that I had trouble sleeping between 22 and 26 weeks and then it got soooo much better. Until 34 weeks and now I'm not sure I sleep anymore :)
You are glowing in these pictures, can't believe how fast it's going!!
Too cute! You look great!
