Grandma's visit and pregnancy update

The girls loved having Grandma here to play with and are sad that she is now back home! She just emailed me these pictures that she took while she was here. My mom forced (and yes, forced) me to take pregnancy pictures while she was here.

I just went to the doctor and she said that everything looks great. We are getting another ultrasound at the end of April to make sure the baby is growing well and everything is developing on track. I am 26 weeks along now. I feel the baby moving and kicking all day. Ben has felt an elbow or heel or something, which I think is cool. Addi asks me everyday if the baby is ready to come yet. She is very excited to meet the new baby and to hold her. Ben and I have finally agreed on a first name, but we aren't telling until she comes! This pregnancy is going by so fast. I can't believe that at the end of April, I will start going to the doctor every two weeks for check ups. And I think I have hit the nesting phase already since I can't stop cleaning and organizing my house. I just can't wait for July and to hold the new baby! I am very excited :)

You don't look huge at all! But I know the feeling! I'm glad everything's going well.

First of all...you are NOT HUGE. It is nice that you finally even look pregnant. Secondly, tell Ben that the 50s curl is out. That's what that picture looks like. Do not, however, let him shave it. He has never looked worse as when he and Billy 'surprised' me with their shaved heads.
