26 Weeks!

So...my tracker on TheBump.com says that there are 98 days until Baby's due date! Whoa! 98 days!? 182 have already gone by!? Crazy!! That means next Friday is the third trimester (If you divide 40 weeks by 3, each 13.33333 weeks is a new trimester.) Wow!

So I went to Kingdom Bound this week. Jamie and I watched Baby moving every night-Baby was our entertainment! She had me giggling and giggling. Then one day (Wednesday) I slipped on the steps and landed on my butt. Ouch. But thankfully, one of the other women who was with us at KB used to be a Labor & Delivery nurse, so she calmed my fears. But then then, I think Baby has turned around because her kicks haven't been as strong as they were last week. I called the doctor today, and they reassured me too.

Yesterday Rick & I went grocery shopping, and I placed an eggplant in Rick's hand. That is the approximate size of our Baby right now. :) Here is what I've read about Week 26---


*She is between 13.6 to 14.8 inches long, and weighs between 1.5- and 2.5 pounds. I want to go pick up an eggplant again :)

" * Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.
* And her eyelashes are now grown, too.
* She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.
* She's taking breaths, too. They're of amniotic fluid, not air, but it's still good practice."

I'm going to do my registry today, and soon Baby Shower invitations will be sent out. I can't believe it-- only 3 months and a week until Baby is due! 98 days!

Thank you for your prayers :)
