26 weeks

I'm getting bigger! Lately I have been bumping into things because this belly of mine is getting so big. I forget I can't squeeze through small spaces anymore! We are doing well. She is kicking and punching almost constantly, at the end of the day especially. Nate gets a kick out of feeling her moving around. The boys still haven't felt her move yet but I figure there will be plenty of opportunities later on and it will probably be easier for them to feel.

I am loving food (maybe thats why the bump is getting bigger...). I am craving apple cider (you can't find it here) and a good hamburger. I could really use a Culver's butter burger or In-N-Out. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I constantly crave hash browns - with cheese of course. Normally when I am craving something the craving stops after I eat it but not this one! I literally eat hash browns every day!

Lots of aches and pains still but I am learning not to schedule too much in one day and to rest as much as I can. Some days the dishes wont get washed, there might still be cereal under the table at dinner time, we might watch 3 movies in one day and we might have chicken nuggets and carrot sticks for dinner. But I'm trying not to let it get to me. Growing a baby is hard work!

I was just realizing that I have taken more pregnancy pictures this pregnancy than ever before. With Liam and Jonas I was either going to school or working so I never thought about taking pictures like this. I might have a few when I first started showing and then one just before giving birth, but not a lot in between. This time I thought it would be fun to have a bunch of pictures that I could put side by side and see how my belly grew. I promise I'm not incredibly vain!
