26 Weeks

26 weeks! So exciting. Some days it seems like the past 26 weeks have flown by, and other days, it seems like January will NEVER get here.




This week my "What to Expect.com" (WTE) app says that Lawson is about the size of a cucumber: 15 inches and 2.2 pounds. I don't know how truly accurate that is, but what I can tell you is that he is getting bigger and stronger! His movements are more frequent (or perhaps I'm just feeling them more as he grows...) and they are much stronger with each passing day. Just last night he and Jason were playing a little game: Jason (with his head laying on my stomach) would push on one side of my stomach and within about 10 seconds, Lawson would push against the other side of my stomach nudging Jason's resting head. Silly boys!! Jason also says that Lawson was wide awake again Saturday night/Sunday morning when he came to bed. Once again, I slept right through this, but I'm sure that won't last much longer. :-)

As for me, I'm still getting bigger (of course). I'm feeling more pregnant these days too: tired mostly with spurts of energy here and there, not able to wear much of anything that's not maternity, and that darn belly button is just about ready to be an outie (which, by the way, Jason thinks is hilarious). I'm slowly making progress on nursery stuff, so hopefully in the next month or so, I'll have some pics to show (hopefully).

Another interesting note, my WTE app also has a countdown feature. It now reads 13 weeks 5 days. To me, knowing how many weeks I have left (supposedly) has more impact than knowing how many weeks along I am. Just thought I would share.
