26 weeks

Tuesday marked the 26th week! This week, our baby girl is weighing in at a full 2 pounds and 9 plus inches long....she feels pretty big sometimes when she's kicking around in there!:) Her eyes are beginning to open now, which will cause her to react more to bright lights anywhere near my bump with movements of her little limbs and blinking her eyelids. I have felt good so far this week, but I am finding it harder to do certain things as my bump grows to new sizes each week. Bending over has started to become a little harder, but luckily Patrick and my family have been good about taking care of me. I am also finding myself getting winded much quicker these days than I ever would have pre-pregnancy. My lower back has been bothering me a little less lately, mostly thanks to yoga, I believe.
I am still enjoying all of her movements and like to guess which part of her little body she is moving around at that moment. I find myself wandering into her room several times throughout the day, looking through her growing wardrobe, bows and sweet baby gifts she has already gotten. She is so loved already...what a lucky girl! 27 weeks is coming up quickly!
