toasty tuesday

it's another scorcher outside--just standing still makes you sweat (or maybe it's being pregnant?)! we had a nice morning playing in the nursery with hannah and aiden and then lunch with daddy! wegman's had some very excellent blueberries on sale so they were quite a treat!
in other news, we started rearranging the whole apartment last night to set up m.v.w's nook in the living room! it was a lot of work but came out really well! i'm super pleased and feel we have a good amount of space for what we need. amelie's room is looking a little bare but soon her big girl bed will be here and then it will be more then filled! m.v.w. is inheriting amelie's frog and princess themed room and amelie will be decorated with one of target's global home lines. i almost picked the comforter for our bedroom when we redecorated and was happy to see they still had it for amelie (it's definately a little girly to make my husband suffer through!). here are some pictures of the comforter and the curtains (which are less orangey and more pinky in person).

here's what m.v.w. is up to this week--we'll enter our third trimester on friday! woo hoo!

Week 26
Your Baby's Development

As Baby grows, space is getting tighter inside the womb. Baby now measures about 12.8 inches tall and probably weighs almost two pounds. Most of this weight is bone and tissue, because she still doesn't have much body fat. In fact, the main development of body fat doesn't really occur until late in the third trimester. Between now and week 29, your baby will have a growth spurt and gain another pound.

Lots of other developments occur this week:

Baby is beginning to blink and open her eyes.
Eyelashes are beginning to grow.
Hair is continuing to grow on Baby’s head.
To support her growing body, Baby's spine is getting stronger and more flexible.
Although she hasn't put on much fat, Baby is beginning to look a little plumper.
