26 weeks - visiting StL

In actuality, we are 27 weeks along, but I didn't take a picture this week - its not time! These past few weeks this little girl continues to do flips in my stomach. There are times where it feels like two could be in there - it is so strange how she can "kick" me on both sides in a seconds time. Otherwise, things are feeling pretty normal. I don't feel much different still from before I was pregnant. Except that people keep telling me I am growing everyday - or just every time they see me. I am however still able to wear some of my normal pants - I think b/c she is sitting so high and my pants are low cut!

We are still working on painting the nursery. In fact nothing has changed since the last post! Last weekend my cousin Mandy and her 2 boys were in St. Charles visiting and we decided to go visit. No one knew we were up there, so don't get offended if we didn't tell you we were there! Sometimes it is just nice to not rush around and see as many people as possible.

We had a great time just hanging out and letting Preston and Bradley play. Bradley is about 8 months older than Preston, but they did very well together for not seeing each other since June. Toys were an issue at times, but that is what happens when you have 2 boys so close to 2 years old! Bathtime was fun - way better than I thought it would be - they had a great time splashing and making a huge mess in Melissa's bathroom!

Preston is doing really well with his big boy bed. I can't remember the last time I heard him get up and play after we put him in bed. We even put his tent from Christmas up in his room - he hasn't attempted to get in it at night. What a good boy! When he gets up in the mornings, he comes out of his room and pulls his door closed behind him - that is the funniest thing to see b/c he can barely reach the door handle. I am not sure why he thinks the door needs to be closed, but it is awfully cute!

Preston is also speaking more and more every day. He is just soaking everything up. His vocabulary is multiplying beyond my imagination. I have been hearing things like "come on mommy" and "in there" and "love you." It is so sweet to hear! He remembers everything. You can teach him an animal noise one day just a couple of times and he remembers it from then on out. Gosh I hope this little girl is as easy as he has been!

AJ has spring break next week, so he will get to hang out with Preston while I work! NOT FAIR!! He is also going to be working on getting the two projects he has left to finish up his master's degree done - hopefully he can be motivated enough to get a lot done while Preston naps.

That is all I can think of for now. Have a fantastic week!
