goodbye second trimester: 26 weeks

Finishing up the second trimester!

Weeks along: 26 weeks

Weight gain: 10 pounds

Fruit baby: Junebug is the size of a head of lettuce. Approximately two pounds and 14 inches long!

Random: This dear little babe is sitting on a nerve, and now everytime I stand for longer than 10 minutes, the outside of my left thigh goes numb. It is very WEIRD! I will smack and scratch at my leg, and feel nothing - it creeps me out every time! The only way I can get it to stop is to sit down. Obviously, you can't do that in the middle of a grocery store visit or at a networking event for work... so, sometimes I just deal with the creepy, numb leg.

Are we ready for baby?We have great lead on a daycare (!), and we are planning to finalize our registry tonight because invites are going out for my first baby shower! Thanks for all your great comments and suggestions last week about what you think is most important for baby! The messages were really helpful and encouraging.

The room has come a long way in the last month! John has been really focused on projects that make the room feel personal and comfortable. He painted my old dresser, got new fixtures, made a cushion for my rocking chair, made an ottoman that doubles as storage, and updated an old lamp! There is also that awesome sock squirrel he made...

the photo on the bottom is more true to life.)
