26 weeks

Baby T is now almost 2 pounds. He/she is opening his/her eyes (this would be a lot easier if we had found out the sex at the ultrasound!). All 5 senses are developed now. He/she can recognize my voice, but also Shawn's, if he's been talking to the baby. Which he is! We've also been reading to him/her.

Bending over is getting difficult now. I'm feeling good though besides some backaches now and then. I've been getting regular massages though (from my massage therapist AND Shawn, so that helps). No extra fatigue yet but we're almost into the 3rd semester where I've been warned it returns with a vengeance. Also, I'm already noticing I can't eat as much...it's like there's not as much room. So instead of bigger meals, I just eat every hour or so!

Check out the pictures...looks like I'm hiding a basketball under my shirt! Don't mind the 2nd one...my belly is red from scratching, it's been itching me like crazy today.
