Baby Update - 26 weeks today!

Eh. It's going ok. It isn't comfortable. I'm not just an easy going pregnant gal. I'm having sciatic (sp?) nerve pain down my hips so bad. It hurts, sometimes just to walk! I'm 26 weeks today, so I still have a WAYS to go. My feet are starting to swell already. I ordered maternity compression socks today to help with this. I'm not going to get into the same position I was in with Aidan. Remember THIS? I'm very, very moody. Lots of crying. Lots of laughing. Up, down, up and down. It is quite exhausting. But this too shall pass. And our little baby will be here and it will all be worth it! The bottom picture, I was 24 weeks. I'm not sure how far along I was in the top photo, but it was earlier on. It was the best I could do at organizing photos that document my changes. Ha! The ultrasound is when the baby was 21 weeks. It's a SHE if you haven't already heard. :)

Anyway, just wanted to include some pictures to document the pregnancy. We haven't done anything to get ready. Not a single thing! Yikes! It is time to start thinking about the nursery, change some rooms around, etc. It is definitely different with baby #2. Ha! Things are just so busy for us, we'll get to it when we can! But the good news, is that the upstairs is finished, with the exception of carpet. Paint/fixtures, bathroom, everything is done! But I'm not going to take photos until it is finished. I chose a green for the walls and everyone is FREAKING about it! So I'd rather wait to show the finished product, so that people can see the method to my madness! So we have a new, private suite area for Ama to sleep when she comes down for the birth and then for all other family who come to visit in the future! So excited! But we can't move the office into the downstairs guest bedroom until the guest bedroom can be moved upstairs, etc. So these are the things that are keeping us from getting ready! Anyway, I'm sure we'll get started soon!
