Bump, Week 26.5

This week's bump shot makes me realize how not fun it is going to be to post bare belly shots when I'm, say, 38 weeks pregnant. But it's all for posterity, right?

Baby has GROWN! As I mentioned in my last post, in just about 48 hours he has really started to pop out. My skin is feeling awfully tight and I know I've got a long way to go. Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Balm, don't fail me now.

He's still moving around plenty, which I love. I'll think I've figured out which way he's facing, only to think he's turned another direction a few hours later. So far I think his preferred position is transverse (sideways). I'm planning to ask the doctor at my next appointment when the baby needs to be head-down (to avoid C-section).

Oh, and please excuse my messy appearance. I'm still getting over this darn cold. Thursday will make three weeks! I'm getting better but still have a sinus infection and a nighttime cough.

If you click on The Bump Chronicles tag at the bottom of this post, you can see the progress of my growth (scrolling through all of the bump shots).

I have plans to post more -- USEFUL -- information in the next few days. Something besides "hey, look at me and my growing belly" and "hey, look at what I picked out for the nursery." :) Thanks for your patience!
