I’m 26 weeks along today. If you haven’t figured it out by now, all my other sites are currently down because I’m changing servers. It’s very headachy. Ciana’s helping me with it, but she’s having difficulty because of database stuff. I miss updating Bean’s site. Boooo. So hopefully it will be up relatively soon, but who knows!

Another week has come and gone. I’m getting better sleep at night, but not as much as I’d like. It appears like I’m gaining about a pound a week, which is absolutely CRAZY for me. I’ve never been able to gain weight, so this is pretty darn healthy for me. Bean is moving like a jelly bean, jumping and rolling and shifting her position every so often. It’s really cool. She seems to respond when I play music too. I would put in a really soft CD of Azure Ray or Alison Krauss, and the girl seems to be tapping her foot to the beat. Hehe. If I could reach my mouth to my belly, I’d give her a kiss every chance I get.

We got the crib now, but haven’t put it together yet, since the room isn’t done. It’s in pieces in Bean’s room. It’s such a dark wood that I think it’s actually black. That will be easy to match. We also got the rocking chair and I’m waiting for it to come in the mail. Last weekend I also bought a wall projector so Dave can draw Bean’s mural on the wall and get the room finished so we can start decorating and putting furniture in. We still need drawers, a bookcase, and a changing table. All in due time. It’s looking manageable right now. I was a bit overwhelmed before, but now that we have a good list going on, it’s not too bad looking.

I’m also saving up my vacation and sick leave times so that I can take those off before I go on maternity. Since I don’t get any paid maternity, any extra money will definitely help. I’m so glad we’re doing one thing at a time. I mean, if we were actually needing movers New York-style, this would be tons more stressful. Glad we’re just staying put and getting ready for a baby. Moving will come in a couple years’ time.
