26 Weeks

I am now 26 Weeks along! I kinda feel like each week is the same in the 20's. I will be like "whoa-this baby is coming!" when I get into the 30's... Which is in 4 weeks. Cool. As you will see in the pictures, I have gotten even bigger! I now feel like I am running out of extra space in there, particularly when I try to bend over or lean forwards. I do more grunting these days :-) I cannot believe how much this baby moves! I don't think he EVER sleeps. It's been fun though. I can pretty much look down at my stomach at anytime and see it doing the wave. It feels like he is trying to stretch more too. I will feel both sides of my stomach being pushed at the same time (if that makes sense). Ben and I enjoy watching baby's acrobatics. He moves the most when I laying in bed taking a nap, or going to bed. We love him so much and can't wait to meet him!

I think I look really tired in today's pictures. Which makes sense because I am. I rearranged our bedroom to make more room for baby. I should have waited for Ben to get home from school, but I wanted to surprise him. It's amazing how much your body really does change when you are pregnant! The hormones loosening all my joints/strain of carrying extra weight (baby weighs about 2 pounds now!) really wears you out a lot faster.
Anyways, Ben is still chugging along with school. I'm going to take a moment and brag about him. His first memo he did really well on. The teacher graded them by splitting them into the top third, middle third, and lower third of the class and Ben was in the top third! I love my little smarty-lawyer pants husband. We celebrated by going to Wendy's for dinner.
As for me, I am trying to be productive every day, but most of the time I fail at that and take a nap instead. Oh well! Just getting all the sleep I can get now before baby comes right?
We are excited to go to Chicago for Thanksgiving in a few weeks! Wahoo!
