Breakfast On Pluto

Today I am 26 weeks, 2 days. I think either my stomach shrinks and grows daily, or the camera adds weight and girth, or no one around me is aware of how large I am! Most of the time, people can barely tell I'm pregnant, or say how small I am for how far along I am. I have begun to think so too! But when we finally took a belly picture, both Rob and I were astonished and a little freaked out over how large that bump suddenly seemed. We are under a hundred days (God willing!) until Baby Girl Holthouse is here and I have my body all to myself again! If she goes a day over her due date I'm thinking about charging rent. ;-)

We got to have Ken around last week, it was good seeing him briefly and we got 3 dinners out in a row- THANK YOU!!! Its fun to be spoiled, I guess thats what happens when you live close enough to relatives! Maybe we better start thinking about a move...

The weather has been gorgeous down here finally. We waved goodbye to our 40/50 degree weather and the last week has been in the high 70s and sunny! We peaked at 81 yesterday and I thought about taking a trip to the beach, but Rob and I were enjoying our time relaxing at home. We did finally go out to our anniversary dinner at the Melting Pot, and had some awesome food (well, I love it. Rob just likes it.). We even got a card signed by all the servers which I think we left on the table.

More and more baby items are finding their way into our household. We are at a standstill right now, trying to decide whether or not Batman should give up his room for baby, whether we want to put her at the other end of the house, whether we ought to have the guest room combine with the baby room, etc. We still have some time but I'm getting anxious to start setting stuff up, especially since we have some heavy duty furniture now. We got our king sized bed home, and splurged for some nice sheets for it, and now its hard to get out of bed in the morning because we have soooooo much space! This means we have a guest bed finally!

I head out early tomorrow for NH and my baby shower, and the beginning of my third trimester will start on Saturday. Hopefully my energy will stay up for awhile longer!
