Week 26

Sorry that I am a day late in posting this weeks baby/belly update.  Although, after taking this picture, I should have done it yesterday, when I was a little more presentable :)

Things are still going fairly smoothly.  I continue to have occasional swelling in my feet and ankles.  I also started to have some swelling in my fingers this week.  I went ahead and took off my wedding rings a few days ago.  They have been snug for the last two years, but I could still get them off somewhat easily.  Wednesday morning, it took me more than a couple minutes and a lot of cold water and soap to get them off.

In more exciting news, Doug was able to feel the baby move for the first time last night!  I had the kiddos try to feel the kicking, but it didn't work.  They continue to love to rub and hug on my belly, as well as talk to the baby.  Each of the kiddos make sure to tell the baby goodnight when heading off to bed, and they make sure to say bye-bye to the baby when I drop them off at school.

Doug and I continue to discuss names, but we haven't decided anything either way.  I think Dallas is still pulling for "Victor Oladipo Knock It Off Goofball"...

Until next time...
