A Bumpdate...26 Weeks.

26 weeks. Wow. Next time I do a little bumpdate I'll be in my third trimester! Exciting, yes....a little hard to believe, yes....ready, no. We have so much to do! Our little guy is growing like crazy! As you can see, my bump is getting quite large. He's constantly moving around in there, and as a matter of fact, I started feeling Braxton Hicks last week. Water seems to be the cure for that...and everything else. Our favorite moments now are when we can see him moving just by looking at my bare belly.


I've also been having for quite some time now a little sleepless leg syndrome & difficulty putting socks and shoes on. Yuck! But I'll counter those displeasures with the fact that I rarely get up to go to the bathroom at night. Is that weird? I'm constantly drinking water and other liquids, but it doesn't seem to bother my sleep. I'll take it!

Next week I'm heading home to Seattle for a bit. Hopefully the flights will be comfortable and easy for me. I'm really excited to see family and friends one last time before "Little" arrives and our world is completely altered. I wish Lyle were going to be with me.


Sweets have been a favorite of mine lately...not entirely unusual for me but I find myself having less self-control. Oh, and I'm loving anything with peanut butter. Every once in a while I get this super craving for meat, but that doesn't always get satisfied. I've been trying to eat a lot of eggs when I can, some salmon here and there, and piling on the fruit. Navel oranges are delicious right now and I can rarely turn down raspberries & blueberries when I pass them at the grocery store.


And from a different point of view....
