We have made it beyond 25 weeks and nearly to 26 now. Hard to believe that in less than 100 days, we'll be meeting this little guy. We are so excited. The holidays have certainly helped pass the time and I know March will be upon us before we have time to blink.
I feel so badly as I have done a pathetic job of documenting this pregnancy. Life has gotten the best of me. Between Claire's schedule, Mya's schedule, my schedule, Chris' schedule and finally our family routines, time to reflect and think has been kept to a bare minimum.
I do feel great. My clothes still fit nicely. I am wearing my prepregnancy staples of cardigans and colored t-shirts with my dress maternity pants each day to work. Friends at work were asking how I was feeling the other day. My comment was simply "large." I feel like I look larger than I did with the girls at this time, but another friend, who typically tells it like it is, spoke up and told me I look great! She asked if I was at 18 weeks! Ha. I said no, 25 and she then you definitely look amazing. Those words were great to hear. I think my weight gain has really been kept to mostly baby this time around. If I had started out a bit lighter, I'd probably look more like that basketball carrying pregnant person, whereas with our girls, I truly gained weight everywhere. I still have 14 weeks to go and things may change dramatically, but I am pretty happy with where I am right now. My lower back hurts a bit at night, but otherwise, I am sleeping well, energy level is high and I am enjoying this pregnancy.
I ordered fabric a few weeks back for the baby's room. It was a total gamble as I matched a few fabrics from different lines and different designers via my computer screeen. It finally came in and I love it! They match and coordinate very well. I am having the bedding custom made by a fellow Air Force spouse. I cannot wait to see it. Now I need to gather some prints, find some coordinating bedding for the extra bed that will stay in his room and add some finishing touches. It should be fun.
My parents bought us a new Lumix camera that I've been oogling for awhile. It arrived yesterday, so we'll see if I can manage to get a 25 week picture taken and posted. I still love my DSLR, but it is a hassle pulling it out and trying to teach Claire to take a picture of my entire self, then uploading the pics. My new camera card can insert directly into the card reader on my computer and it takes great pictures! So excited!
