I Can See Clearly Now.....

Fetal Development at 26 Weeks:

At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin. Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!

Okay I know I said I would only share on my monthly marks now, but I was too excited to wait 2 more weeks. She's been able to hear for a few weeks now (so I'm sure she already knows how crazy her parents are) but now she can see as well. She also likes to practice Tae Bo quite often throughout the day. I can't believe I have less than 100 days to go now. Before I know it, my sanity will be gone and I will be a sleep deprived new momma.

This comic cracks me up because alot of pregnant people I've known have said they felt this way. I am the opposite. I want everything cleaned and fixed and perfect right NOW. Which isn't very realistic so I'm trying to be as patient as possible. I think once the new carpet and everything is installed, I will go into overdrive and really start getting things ready. I just want to get our house as close to perfect as possible before Tylee since I know I won't have alot of time once she's here.

I've been trying to take pictures of all the cute things we have for her, but the lighting is terrible when I get off work. The lights in our house wash everything out and make it look yellow when really we have lots of pinks and greens and fun colors. I will mess with the camera and take a few tonight and see if I can't get it the way I want it.
