26 Weeks and Counting

Big Brother is always watching....
The Mr. Orion says "Get back to work slacker!"


Whoa Belly!

I swear I don't feel as big as these pictures make me look....I think (OK, make that thought) I have quite a cute baby bump (have only gained 9 lbs this whole pregnancy so far)...maybe it is time to invest in a new camera? Maybe it is the shirt? Anyway, I have attached some very recent (as in Henry took them 5 minutes ago) of me and Alex. And Janice, just for you I conned Henry into taking them so you could see my lovely red face along with the baby bump.
For those of you still reading this blog (and a thank you to those who are), we are quickly approaching the 3rd trimester..officially starts at week 28 and also, today marks the offical start of the double digit countdown until my due date :)) I have exactly 99 days left until March 8, 2008! Woohooo! We had another doctors appointment today and everything seems to be going well. His heartbeat is still very strong (155bpm) and I am measuring exactly where I should be (according to the doctor anyway). Now starts the visits every two weeks instead of every four. I am happy for this because it seemed like FOREVER between the darn visits and I am happy to be going more often to ensure that baby is progressing as he should. However, I started having a panic attack this afternoon knowing that we are nearing the end here...and I have no idea what to expect and sooo don't feel ready!

He is still kicking up a storm. In fact as I sit here typing this, I can see and feel where he is kicking me. Mainly I feel him first thing in the morning (he gives me his daily wake up kicks..you know, so I don't forget he is there) and then when I settle down for the night. Today he has been unusually active...and I haven't had any caffeine.. I have noticed that I have been getting more pregnancy symptoms..the charlie horses, congestion, nose bleeds...fun stuff, let me tell you....Also makes sleeping very comfortable...insert sarcasm here...

Enjoy the pictures! I also included a few of Mr. Orion..well..just because he is so cute :) He was keeping me company this afternoon as I worked from home. Although, he wasn't much help as he slept for the majority of the day.
