BABY #2 | 26 WEEK PREGNANCY UPDATE

How far along? 26 + 2 (holy crap!!)
Total weight gain: not checking!
Maternity clothes? Mainly maternity jeans
Stretch marks? I haven't noticed any new ones since my last update 2 weeks ago
Sleep: It's okay, I miss being able to just be comfy whichever way I lay down!
Best moment this week: At my last scan, baby girl was breech. That same evening, she did the biggest movement yet, and I'm pretty sure she has flipped. Also getting into the nursery and some of it sorted (finally!)
Miss anything? Sleep, runny eggs, my back not aching all the time, being able to stand up to get out of bed/off the sofa (as opposed to rolling off!!) 
Movement: All of the movement! I love it.
Food cravings: Nope.
Gender: GIRL!
Anything making you queasy or sick: not that I can think of.
Labour signs: nope, thankfully!
Symptoms: The heartburn seems to have lessened a bit, and my chest feels heavy sometimes. I felt like my morning sickness was coming back last week, I felt awful. It seems to have subsided now.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Engagement ring ON!
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly moody. I'm a worrier, even about things that are beyond my control. I can get stressed easily over little things, so I've been pretty moody. I blame hormones!
Looking forward to: Seeing my dad in a few days and reaching my third trimester... less than two weeks until I hit 28 weeks! AND that means I'll be packing my hospital bag very soon! The excitement is real :D

BABY #2 | 24 WEEK PREGNANCY UPDATE

Hi bump! Yesterday, at 24 + 3.

How far along? 24 + 4.
Total weight gain: Last time I checked, it was over 6lbs, so I won't be checking again!!
Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans with the over-the-bump band... and I love anything that shows off the bump!
Stretch marks? Oh yep, on the bump :(
Sleep: Sleep is generally good. I mean if I went to sleep at 9pm every night, it would be amazing! It's getting harder and harder to get comfortable without feeling like I'm crushing the baby!
Best moment this week: Bump popped over the past week! I'm also loving all the movement.
Miss anything? Runny eggs! Some days, I want them so badly.
Movement: Rolling around, kicks up high, punches down low... Oh, and hiccups. They are SO cute!
Food cravings: Pizza and salad sandwiches!
Gender: We are thrilled that we will have a little GIRL to complete our family in August!
Anything making you queasy or sick: We have one of those Glade air freshener things that sprays automatically, but I've had to turn it off as it makes me want to hurl!
Labour signs: nope!
Symptoms: Heartburn, and lots of backache. At my anatomy scan, baby girl was back to back. I think she's still back to back now, because the backache is something else, especially if I hoover or stand too long. My last pregnancy was the same; Leighton was always back to back (turned as he was born) so I had SO much backache in that pregnancy. How many times can I say back?! 9. Well, 10 now.
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? Engagement ring ON!
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy. I still get moody days where I'm stressed to the max though!
Looking forward to: Getting into the nursery this week to start getting it ready! Seeing baby girl again next week... and hopefully seeing my dad the week after! :)
