le bump / 26 weeks

we get to see your face in 14 weeks, give or take.

progress & countdown: 26 weeks down & 92 days to go! wow. that’s super close to 90 days…

baby size: the length of a scallion.

food & drink: i found a great, new prenatal powder that i am adding into a morning collagen smoothie and it has been AMAZING. i know, i know. boring. but, it’s the little things, right?

bump stuff: the bump is taking over my body. that’s all.

highs: selecting and planning albert’s quilt crafted by my mum. i can’t wait to see it pieced together. now, to shop for fabrics!

lows: not too much. trying to modify workouts a bit more to take care of my core and pelvic floor but, no complaints here.

new developments: head to toe, baby is about 14+ inches long and weighs about 2 pounds. baby can sense sounds and detect different tones of voice… and respond accordingly.

meaningful moments & hormones & feelings: feeling so grateful to be closing the second trimester and looking ahead to roughly THREE CALENDAR MONTHS before his arrival. time has flown. trying to savor all the parts of pregnancy.

superficial stuff: not sure how i am going to fit another 5 + pounds of baby in my midsection but… okay. here’s to the awkward awesomeness of the home stretch!

looking forward to: meeting albert. finding out how tall he is and big he is and what his face looks like and eye color and hair type. and what his personality is and personal quirks are. i am also hoping that he comes just a tad early… just a tad… it would be fun to have him here in late late april. trying to be patient, though.
