26 Weeks

I can’t believe that as of next week I will be in my 3rd trimester! We are getting so much closer to meeting our baby girl and it is so exciting. I am feeling her move a lot more often and the movements have gone from feeling like popcorn popping in my stomach to rolling along my insides. It is the most incredible sensation. The night I took these pictures we also could see the movements on the outside of my stomach for the first time. She is the most active at night, which is perfect so Kris can spend time feeling her move around. He’s been reading to her which I know she loves.

My goal for this week is to make a hair appointment, I am in desperate need of it! It seems my stomach has been growing at a much quicker pace these last couple of weeks – I blame the chocolate chip cookies Kris makes me (they are my biggest weakness), but most would say it’s because Peanut is in the middle of a growth spurt. By my “What to Expect” book she is now weighing 2 lbs! Makes me wonder where the other extra 13 lbs have gone, hmmmm. I actually read somewhere that gives the breakdown of where all of the weight goes which was interesting. I am just amazed every day at what my body is doing.

The remodel is progressing – but every day I get more excited for it to be done. I can’t wait to move into the rest of our house and I really can’t wait to get the nursery ready.
