Let the Blogging Begin . . .

Well I figured it was about time I join the blogging bandwagon. As most of you know we are expecting a little girl on September 7th! I thought I would entertain you all with our adventures leading up to the arrival of our little one.

Today I am officially 26 weeks pregnant. Each week I look forward to my email from BabyCenter.com just so I can see what size of vegetable our little one is. Last week she was a rutabaga (not sure I have ever actually seen one of these) and this week she is the size of an English hothouse cucumber (WTF?), weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches from head to heel.


My favorite part about being pregnant so far is feeling our little girl move around in my belly. Sometimes I catch myself sitting still on the couch (oblivious to what is going on around me) with my hand on my belly just waiting for her to kick. Each time I feel a flutter or a kick I immediately start to smile and have Eric put his hand on my belly so he can feel it too. He has been able to feel her move a few times which as been so fun. It is just crazy to me how attached I feel and we haven't even met our little one yet.
