Yes, Opposites Really Attract!: 26 Weeks

Due date: April 8, 2014

How far along? 26 Weeks

What fruit are you? A head of lettuce and as long as a scallion

Total weight gain/~~loss~~: 25 lbs. I've done it. I've successfully done everything I said I wouldn't do while pregnant and this blog post is happening during this 48 hour realization. I admit I haven't said no to any cookie that's been offered but when you watch what you eat your ENTIRE life (except those 15 lbs in college...) being pregnant has been my biggest excuse! I'm really starting to ~~feel~~ look like the fat pregnant girl and my anxiety is kicking in, here's some moments that have happened this past week...

I'm 2 lbs from weighing the same as Nate. I have more of an interest in the clothes he buys and I've created a whole new meaning to the 'boyfriend look'.
At my 25 wk appt last Friday the nurse told me to weigh myself while she got my file together, when I told her I was 148 she looked at my weight from my last visit at 21 weeks (138) and said, "no that means you gained 10 lbs, that can't be right, go do it again".
Our scale at home is so confused, I constantly have to tell it it's really me.
I have a fat girl belly laugh. A legit belly laugh that comes straight from my gut like a baby laughs. It's not sexy.
The other night Nate and I were watching TV and sitting on our computers and I went into the kitchen to grab a note pad to make one of my many to-do lists and I came back with a slice of cheesecake (My sister-in-law makes the best and this time is was cherry with chocolate chips in the cheesecake part!). Nate wasn't paying attention until I had a mouth full and looked at him (realized what I did) while I tried to say, "oh my god" while simultaneously laughing at myself. Nate just stared at me ... like I was a fat girl eating cheesecake... and he just said "Linds...". Then I proceeded to pee my pjs as I ran to the bathroom because I was laughing so hard.
I'm a chronic pee-holder...and now that I have to pee so often I'll pee my pants if Nate makes me laugh too hard. No amount of kegels can help this... I can barely feel my vagina with all this belly pressure!
I constantly bite the inside of my cheeks when I eat because they're clearly larger than normal...

Maternity clothes? Nate's T-Shirts, I mean we are the same size now. The essentials are Jcrew Pixie pants, Matchstick jeans and maternity tees and tanks.

Stretch marks? No...

Sleep: I got so much sleep during this holiday break, it was great!
Miss Anything? I wish I could twist my body to crack my back.

Exercise: No yoga last week, neighborhood dog walks and I'm still waiting on my bike...

Movement: All the time and stronger; I can literally see big kicks out of my peripheral!

Food cravings: Clearly all the bad stuff...

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Gender: Lil' Miss

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? Still technically an inny... and it's a lot easier to clean now :)

Happy or Moody: Calm but definitely moody about my fat-ness. 10 lbs in one month!?

Looking forward to: New Years Eve with our friends and my first chiropractor appt. on Saturday! This will be the same person that will be at the birth to adjust my uterus and checks our mini's alignment after her vagina canal journey :)
Best moments this week: Christmas, family time, friend time and a much needed stay-cation!
