26 weeks!!!

How Far Along?  26 weeks and 5 days!!!

Baby This Week?  Baby is about 14 inches long and it definitely feels that way too!! He can hear more things outside the belly! He is also, he can sense light and dark. It is possible that if I were to hold up a flashlight to my belly, he might respond. But I'm too lazy to try it! Lol.

Symptoms?  I had kind of a relapse with the nausea for a few days where I was back in bed. I seemed to have a good day yesterday and though it's early at the moment, I'm just a bit queasy.  Heartburn/acid reflux has been horrid.  Just constant burning in my esophagus.  No amount of time can save me.  I'm also getting that same yeast infection in my armpits I had last time.  If you remember, I had to put monostat in my pits. Lol. Such weird symptoms. Oh and here's a gem!  I got that pregnancy rash on my belly.  It popped up 2 days ago.  So luckily I was able to talk to our OB yesterday at our appointment. So now I also have to out cortisone cream on my belly.  Also, I've been getting this hard lumps the day after my progesterone shots in my ass.  And they also start itching like a mosquito bite. This week, the lump is huuuge! I've talked to some of my friends who have had the shots and said that after so many shots, that can happen, thought none of them had the itching so I'm thinking I may call and just check to make sure I'm not having a little reaction to the shot, which I've heard can happen.  I've been told to try using a heating pad on it to help the oil disperse so I'm going to give that a go!

Cravings/Aversions?  Still not having any super strong cravings. I think the nausea is keeping that at bay.  I do want some things that I won't let myself have just because of the heartburn.  It's not worth it!  Lol.  Still want nothing to do with meat.

Goals for the Week?  I went into preterm labor with Mason at 26 weeks and 6 days. Right now, I am 26 weeks and 5 days.  My goal is to make it passed this week with no preterm labor! I don't think we are in any real danger of that as of right now, thankfully!!!

Mason?  He's going to be 1 in exactly one week!!!  He does something new every single day!  He's really big into high 5's right now! Oh, and eating! Lol!
