Fun things

The screenprints I ordered from Bee Thing's Etsy store (oh, Etsy how I love thee) and they are so perfect.  I couldn't choose between these two, so I decided to get them both since they remind me of daytime and nighttime. I can't wait to put them over the crib. I love them so. Check it out:

And then there was One (plus 2 dogs and an unborn child)

This weekend, Matt is in Tybee Island on another Parker-Man Adventure with his dad and brother. They are canoeing out to Little Tybee Island to sit in the 100 degree heat and swarms of South Georgia bugs. "But it's going to be so awesome!", says Matt. I had to break the news to him that I was really sorry my almost 27 week pregnant-ness wouldn't be making this trip (plus, I am not sure I was invited?) he took off last night and now I have my little house all to myself. For the whole weekend! It dawned on me that - well, this might be the last time I am alone for a really long time. Like 18 years? Maybe THAT'S why I couldn't sleep last night! Anyway, I plan on relaxing this weekend and maybe getting some Baby P shopping done. Or I might just lounge around the house and watch bad tv. Either way - I am going to enjoy it while it's here.

Um....yes, please.

This is a want. Not a need. Right?

Other happenings

Baby P is becoming increasingly jumpy and loves to kick and roll around while I am at my desk at work - after a little bite to eat, of course. Whenever Matt puts his hand on my belly to feel, he slows down or stops all together - but he's gotten to feel a couple of good kicks here and there.

In other news, the nursery is really cute if I do say so myself. We have a big decor shopping trip coming up (Ikea here we come) so once we get some stuff on the walls I'll post some pics.

Life is moving very quickly all of a sudden. 25 weeks, work, freelance, house, showers, everything. And something tells me it's going to stay this way for - oh, the next 18 years. C'est la vie!

Eggplant!

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Bump update

My sister took this while I was lounging at my mom's over the weekend. The bump in full force. Wowzers.

24 Weeks = 6 months!

Baby P's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
