26 weeks = 6 1/2 months already

How far along? 26 weeks

Total weight gain: 6...but the belly is sure getting bigger

Sleep: lately, not so good. The boys are resting well, I'm in no pain or discomfort just can't shut the brain off.

Best moment this week: Being nominated by a dear friend here for Mom of the Month. Her kind words just touched my heart, and so thankful that we met. (Stay tuned for more info later this month for more details and the write up in the local Mom's Magazine)

Movement: Carter moves around a lot in the early morning and late evenings.

Food cravings: Yogurt, any kind but more so Vanilla Yogurt with strawberries

Gender: BOY!!

What I miss: eating something and not getting heart burn

What I am looking forward to: Mom and Dad arrive tomorrow night (Wed night) and looking forward to a fun filled rest of the week-weekend with them. On Friday we have an ultrasound to see Carter. We are ALL excited. Can't wait to see how much he has grown.

From babygaga regarding the growth of baby Carter:
At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin. Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!
