26 weeks

A lot went on this weekend so I will start this off with b's progress since she really is the star of the show.

Our little princess is now 26 weeks! Next thing we know, its going to be 40 weeks(ish) in noo time. It really seems like yesterday I was announcing to everyone that we were expecting.

26 weeks
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. 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. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.


english hothouse cucumber b.. (this one is weird, they couldn’t of found a better vegetable?!)

On Saturday we had dinner with my family. It was amazing that everyone actually came! We had 16 people come, which made for a really large dinner table lol

Here is a group pic, soo many people lol



Here is one of my brothers and sisters (and my camera loving nephew lol)


It was a lot of fun and so nice to see everyone. It's so hard to get us all together, and even though my mom couldn’t make it, she did make a phone call to say hello.

Jon and Alex had a nice surprise for us as we were leaving, they gave us a gift for b!

Its so cute, it has little keys and plush coins. I'm sure she will love it.


Before dinner we had gone to Lowe's to pick up paint for b's room so Jason could start painting after we got back.

He started on the stripes so they had time to dry before his sister and dad came the next day.



so excited to start on her room!


I sat by the window to keep him company (hey where did my neck go?!)



As planned, Jason's sister and Dad came over to help paint in the morning and they did an AMAZING job. Its soooo cute, I absolutely love it.

My amazing painters :)


b's rooooom!








The colors turned out perfect!! Its a little hard to tell in the pictures, maybe we will have a "b's room completion party" when its done so everyone can see it hahahaa

We bought Vinyl lettering to put on the curved hallway that goes into b's room.
If you cant read it, it says "all because two people fell in love"
I just looove it and can't wait to put it up, just seemed like it fit perfect :)




We went to Babies R Us to see if they had the border in and THEY DID!! YAAAAY!

We will probably put it up this week if possible or this weekend.

I told Jason to call the carpet cleaner (he wants the floors cleaned before putting in the furniture) because I want that furniture in the bedroom and out of the garage!! The boxes are soo sad, they are just begging to be put together :)

Danielle and I painted later in the afternoon which was a lot of fun as usual. It was a gorgeous day and decided to paint outside.



She did not want me to take a picture of her hahha she is saying "you cant get my hand and that’s it" LOL


I love her paintings, she gave me the orange one which will go great in our bedroom!



This one she has been working on for 2 years lol.. its been many many things.


I think she called this "the Chinese house"



I didn't finish mine so no picture yet :)

We have our bradley class tonight and our doctors appointment is tomorrow. I'm taking the glucose test, an I think getting my first rh shot :( I will let you know how it goes on friday :)
