I figured it was time for a little update, although I don't have too much to update you on! I am now 26 weeks and down to only double digits of days left...97 days to go as of today! I am still feeling pretty great overall. I am starting to get more tired again and have had some slight issues with my back and sciatic nerve that shoots pain down my low back and leg, but usually only after I do something active, especially vacuum. So...Chris has now claimed vacuum duty, which I know he loves. ;)
Baby girl is doing great, she is growing and kicking me harder each day. It hasn't kept me up at night yet, but I know that could be coming! It is pretty much the coolest feeling in the world to feel her inside me...very strange, but amazing! Right now, she is about 14 inches in length and 1 2/3 lbs. Her hearing is developing and she may now be able to hear our voices, so we talk to her a lot. :) She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air.
Chris has spring break next week, so we are heading to Puyallup/Issaquah for the weekend. We are going to try to register at Babies R Us while we are there to start to figure out all that we need for this little girl (wish us luck)!
I also want to wish my oldest nephew, Rees, a very HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY today! The only live birth I've ever seen was his, it was the most amazing thing...I can't believe that was 4 years ago! He is such a smart, sweet boy and growing up so fast. Here are some cute pics of him...
