26 weeks!

Today I am 26 weeks... WOW do I feel pregnant!

Amelia spends about 1/2 the day now kicking, flipping & punching me... I'm sorta ready for her to get bigger so she doesn't have as much room to wreak havoc. After weeks of playing possum with her dad (she would stop kicking the minute his hand touched my stomach), Roger is finally getting to feel her incredible strength! We can see my belly move when she kicks and a few of the kicks have become painful. Although I don't feel her often kicking my ribs, my ribs are now sore to the touch, I believe because of bruising.

I feel as though I am constantly whining these days (back pain, hip pain, rib pain, heartburn, and other fun ailments), but I am also completely aware of the miracle going on inside my body.

The pregnancy books say she is now 13 inches long and I am convinced she is going to have the Fort long legs. I now firmly believe that the women who have 15 kids are crazy, 2 will be fine for me thanks.

The coming weeks will be eventful... I am headed to Corpus this weekend for my dad's birthday, my last trip home before the baby comes. Monday I have my glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes, next Friday Roger has dental surgery and that Saturday we have our 3d/4d ultrasound. Expect lots of pictures to be posted after that.

For now, here are my 26 week pictures...
