26 Weeks
So, I literally feel like I woke up this morning and my belly had grown from the night before! (maybe that was why I was feeling like my skin was stretching so much yesterday). Sometimes I have to do a double-take when I walk by a mirror, to make sure that's really me :0) I've really been feeling Molly move a lot lately, and have even begun to SEE her move. It's the coolest thing! She gave a BIG kick the other day that John got to feel. She tends to be most active at night. We've started reading stories to her, because she can now start to hear both of our voices. She weighs almost two pounds at this point, and measure about 14 inches from head to heel. We're only 2 weeks away from entering the 3rd trimester...the home stretch! I can't believe how fast the 2nd trimester has gone.
We recently received some very special gifts from family...The first is the rocker/recliner chair for the nursery. My Aunt recommended a rocker/recliner, for extra comfort and convenience for those late night feedings, which we thought was a great idea. As we were out shopping for one and getting ready to order it, we got a call from John's dad and step mom that live out in Las Vegas. They ended up purchasing the chair for us, which was a true blessing. It is the perfect color, and is SO comfortable (yep, I've already tested it out by taking a few naps in it!). Thanks SO much Dad and Erin!
Molly got another early gift from her Aunt Julie on Easter. It is a special collection of outfits put together just for Molly...it's her "Tres Chic" collection. When we opened the bag and pulled out the first thing, we noticed it was clipped to a rope. As we pulled on it the rest just kept coming and coming, until we ended up with a whole collectioin of outfits! Thanks Aunt Julie we absolutely love it!!
This little girl is already so blessed and loved by so many. It's so cool to think that in just a few months we'll finally get to meet her!
