26 Week update

Here we go. August is almost over, we are 26 weeks in to the pregnancy and still no weight gain! Still no complaining on my part.

The lowdown on Lily:

• Lily is 26 weeks along
• She can open her eyes!
• She measures in around 2lbs according to What to Expect
• Could be the size of a head of lettuce! 

The little nugget is constantly on the go now. I am beginning to wonder if I am drinking too much caffeine! We are really starting to see her personality come out and boy oh boy! We are going to have our hands full. She is active and kicking almost all day long. What's her favorite spot to kick? My belly button and just recently, my lady bits. That's right...she kicks me right in the female no go area. RUDE! lol.

Josh says:
"Lils I'm still here! Wanna read a book with me?"
"Give mom a good kick!"
"Hey! Settle down in there rascal."

We took a day-cation and went to the beach. Lily doesn't like when I lay out. She will sit right on my sciatic nerve making it impossible for me to move or get up. As much as I enjoy floating in water, I know she loves it more because she can stretch out since all of my muscles are relaxed.

We love being able to see her personality come out more each day even though she is still growing. The doctor isn't concerned that I haven't gained any weight yet and says that she is growing nicely even though my stomach doesn't seem to be catching up. He thinks we will more than likely have a tiny girl on our hands which can't be a terrible thing!

What to watch for this week:

-Above all that is random August edition

-Thoughts on Post Partum Depression and who might have it

Keep following us on our journey through life and thanks for reading!
