If a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a novel about my holiday.
First up, my 28th birthday dinner and Christmas with the Honeycutts:
 |
28! Not nearly as dreaded as 27; I think Lil Fil helped with that
(which seems counterintuitive; you'd think a baby would make
you feel older, right? But I'm not complaining). |
 |
| At the McNinch House for my birthday dinner. |
 |
| At my mom and dad's house |
 |
Every baby gift from my mom includes at least a couple of stuffed animals.
Lil Fil doesn't have a single diaper yet, but he has a whole playroom full of animal friends. |
Then, to Delaware and Raleigh for Christmas with the Fillibens:
 |
| The Fillibens in Delaware on Christmas Eve. |
 |
| I win! |
 |
| I win again! |
Finally, on Boxing Day, my friend Cameron and her mom threw me and my two preggo friends a joint baby shower. So fun for all of my high school friends to get together at one time!
 |
| Jennifer (37 weeks), Logan (24 weeks), and Me (26 weeks) |
 |
| Us pregnant chicks |
 |
| You'd be surprised how fun it is to open up the same gifts at the same time. |
 |
| Matching monogrammed onesies from Lo for our boys! |
 |
| My high school BQs |
 |
| Soon-to-be mamas with our mamas |
Recap of Weeks 25 & 26:
- Lil Fil is the size of: like I said, no more fruits. He's around 2.5 pounds and 15 to 16 inches long, head to toe.
- I have gained: About 17 pounds.
- I physically feel: pretty darn good, considering. My friends have back pain, and there are a lot of other horror-story symptoms out there (hemorrhoids! gestational diabetes! toxemia!), none of which I've experienced, so I feel pretty lucky to have missed out on a lot of the bad stuff as of now, even if I go downhill the next three months.
- I emotionally feel: excited for 2011(!)
- Comment(s) of the week: "What's the baby's name? Is it Nick? I think it should be Nick." - Our 10-year-old cousin Zach. Sorry, Z-man, it's not Nick.
- Milestone: Third (and last) trimester!
