Peace & Lennon Love: 26 weeks!

Seriously, where has the time gone!!? I am nearly in my 3rd trimester, my baby shower is scheduled and just over a month away, i'm starting to plan my maternity pics for the end of Aug. or early Sept., and it hit me the other day that we are only 10 weeks away from being able safely be able to deliver at home (our midwife starts delivering at at home/ at the birthing center at 36 weeks)! YIKES! Things are getting REAL!

Lennon is definitely getting strong, she is very very active and I feel her movements pretty much all day and all night. I swear this baby never sleeps! She seems to be most active in the morning when I first wake up, this is my favorite time of day, I've started staying in bed for 30 mins or so every morning and having some "Momee/Lennon time" . She has started kicking me back sometimes when if I poke at her, and I can actually see some her big kicks or hiccups. Also, a few weeks ago,at about 24 weeks, Eric finally got to feel her move once. But it wasn't until the other morning that he really got to see how active she was, we had both just woke up, so of course she was super active and he got to feel her move, kick, and squirm for about 15 mins!

We had another check up and Lennon is still growing good and her heartbeat is still holding at a strong 160bpm! Other than that, there wasn't much else note worthy about the appointment. I go back in a little over 2 weeks and that will be the start of my "every 2 weeks appointments"... again, things are starting to get REALLY REAL!

So now for some stats and pic update!..

How far along? 26w3d
How big is baby? about the size of a head of lettuce.
How I'm feeling? Starting to get a little anxious!
Weight Gain? I was 238.5 at my check up , which is up about 2 lbs from last visit and 8-ish lbs from the beginning of my pregnancy.
How I'm changing? Looking more and more pregnant every day!
Symptoms? Mostly just some aches and pains, but going to the chiropractor def helps!!
Highlights from the past few weeks: having Eric get to feel her kick, and being able to see some of her kicks! I also love that her active times are getting regular, they are my favorite times of the day!
