Gestation: 26 wks 1 day
Weight Gain: 8 lbs. Either I ate a lot or the baby had a growth spurt because I swear I gained all 8 of those pounds in one week, and then stopped gaining again. Weird.
Fetal Movement: YES, YES, YES! This baby is doing gymnastics in there! You can already feel the movement from the outside (Corbin especially loves to feel it move), and you can even see it moving. It's awesome.
Maternity Clothes: Some shirts but I'm still in my regular jeans. I need to go to DI and pick up some skirts though, that's starting to become a bit of a problem.
Symptoms I'm Experiencing: Fatigue (still, it never went away), moodiness, itchiness (but just fyi, it has definitely gone way down in the past few weeks. Its still there, but no longer bad enough to drive me crazy). Oh yes, and the worst of all, the stretching of my tummy muscles.
Speaking of Stretching Tummy Muscles: Have you ever had this before? I had it with my other pregnancies, but it would just be kind of an achy feeling on my lower abdomen and along my sides, and it subsided pretty quickly. This time around the only way I can describe them is; its as if I'm having a charlie horse in my stomach! I don't know if that makes sense. Anyway, it happens all the time, especially when I stand up or sit down too quickly, I'm in a hurry or walking to drop off/pick up kids from school. In order for it to stop, I have to stop and take a break (which isn't always possible). I know what you are thinking Braxton Hicks Contractions,but that is not it. I've never had pain with a braxton hicks contraction, and my stomach doesn't get hard like it should with a braxton hicks contraction. I swear its my muscles just flipping out. I started wearing my pregnancy brace thing that I got with my first pregnancy to help with Sciatica. I'm thinking it will hold up my stomach to relieve some of the pressure on my muscles, and I think its helping a little.
So apparently complaining is also a symptom, because I just did a lot of it. Sorry about that. Here's a pic of my big ol' belly.

YEAH!!!!! Weird...after you described that streching tummy muscles I feel those 'charlie-horse' symptons sometimes...hmm...I thought my stomach was strinking...what's happening?
Love baby bellies!
your such a cute prego person. I am so excited for you to have another kid. Can't wait to meet her. Yup I think its a girl. I also decided you should name her Halliluya (I pulled that off the top of my head sitting on the beach in Mexico, Mark and I giggled for minutes about that name.)
What a cute baby bump!!!!What a cute girl standing there with the cute baby bump. I am hoping for a girl(of course either is really awesome)just to even the score of 2 boys and 2 girls!
Wow way to go on only 8 lbs. I think I am already ahead of that at 15 weeks :) Hope you get some more energy. You look cute with the belly!
