26 week bump


excuse how i look here... I spent the entire 80+ humid degree day scrubbing the house
How far along? 26 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +1-2
Maternity clothes? got my tankini this week - and a bunch of new shirts.
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: Last night was ROUGH. I must've had acid reflux and choked on it in my sleep - i stumbled out of bed (ouchy on the knees) hacking and gasping on acid... ran over to the sink to spit it out, started brushing my teeth and the taste of the acid over-took me and I threw up everything from earlier that day... multiple times (it was 2 am... that food would've been digested and gone if I wasn't pregnant)
Movement: seems to be stronger. Occasionally if I haven't felt anything for awhile... I make sure to thank them for kicking me. Baby A (lower baby?) seems to be more active when I'm working and with patients. Baby B (upper baby?) is very active in the evening.
Food cravings: cheesy popcorn
Foods aversions: anything that adds to the reflux
Gender: LOVE my two little girls
Labor Signs: nothing new
Preggo PITA symptom: I get full so FAST now and then start with the reflux... I can't get enough in! Wondering when I'm gonna have to switch to protein/calorie drinks
Mood: Had a bunch of tearful moments this week, but otherwise pretty good. I got the entire house cleaned today (windows, floors, dusting, everything!)
Arthritis severity: overall 2. Had another angry trigger the other day, but nothing I couldn't work around
What I miss: eating whatever I want! I thought pregnancy was the time to indulge! I can't fit anything in there!!!
Fundal height: 34 cm
BP this week: 116/66 and 128/78
Milestones: getting bigger and stronger... next goal is 28 weeks
Other:
No news on the glucose test - must've passed :o) thank goodness

Talked to the specialist's nurse about my 24 hour urine. My kidneys ARE working harder... which she said we should expect, but my results are NOT critical and we should expect to do our next test around 31-32 weeks. I really like hearing explanations like that better than "it was normal"

Mark started painting the babies' room today - pink :) it looks GREAT
