Weeks 25 and 26

The last couple weeks have been filled with getting ready for Christmas. My shopping and wrapping is done and I just have a couple more things to bake tomorrow and we are ready for Christmas Eve!! I'm excited because tonight we're going to go look at Christmas lights then come home and watch a Christmas movie :) (probably The Grinch). This is definitely one of my favorite times of the year, even though it is filled with spending way too much money and eating way too much food!!



Baby Hudson is still doing great, he's been VERY active the last few days, especially when I'm at work. I was watching my stomach literally lurching from his kicks!! It's so amazing how strong he's getting. Another huge milestone we hit this week is hitting the DOUBLE DIGITS until his due date!! I can't believe in just over 3 months (give or take) we will have our SON here with us!! It's still so surreal :)



We've gotten some more done in the nursery, Andy put a second shelf in the closet and we put the valance and bedding on to see what it looks like. Now I really need to start organizing...it's just overwhelming to even think about how I want to do it. If you have any websites or blogs with organizing inspiration please let me know!!




How far along are you? 26 weeks!!! Where does the time go??



How much does baby weigh? Almost 2 pounds



Maternity clothes? Most definitely!! There's no getting regular pants (or even most shirts) around this belly anymore



Stretch marks? None yet...keeping my fingers crossed



Sleep? Finally adjusted to my shift at work, still sleeping ok, I just seem to wake up with a lot of back pain



Best moment this week? Feeling and seeing Hudson's kicks so much more often :)



Movement? ALL the time!! And I can't get enough of it. I love feeling this kicks, flutters and stretching out ..it's so amazing.



Food cravings? Surprisingly I haven't really had any. I still prefer salty foods to sweets



Milestones: In the double digits till our due date. Hudson could possibly survive outside the womb (although he can stay in there at least a couple more months)


(I'll update again after Christmas with belly pictures and Christmas pictures!)
