26 Weeks/23 Months

This past week was an eventful one for Regan because she spent two nights away from Mom & Dad.  We had to take a trip for Kevin's work, so Regan stayed with the grandparents overnight, one night each.  She did great, barely missed us at all.  On Wednesday night she stayed over at Grandma Judy and Papa's house, played with Jack and all of her toys there, and slept like a big girl on the fold out couch.  The next day Grandma took her to see all the animals and they went for a walk with Jack down the street and saw Wendy.  Thursday night she stayed at our house with Grandma Gannon.  The next day when Mom & Dad came home late at night, Grandma looked exhausted, but Regan was ready to tell us about all the fun things she did that week.  So we got to hear all about it before she went to bed.

On Sunday, Regan got to go to her first Sabres game!  Even though we didn't bring home a winner, she still had lots of fun, and Grandma and Papa were there too!  She was clapping and cheering and shouting "Go Sabres!"

When we first got there Sabretooth was coming down from the ceiling, she was really overwhelmed!

Also, Regan will be 23 Months old on Thursday!  One month away from being two!  I can't believe how fast time has flown.  She has flourished leaps and bounds, every week it seems.  She is so smart, and isn't afraid of showing off her skills! Time to start planning a birthday party!

On the baby front this week, things have really started to get uncomfortable for me.  My back and hips hurt like crazy, and it feels like someone is trying to rip my pelvis in half.  I'm pretty sure that Rian has moved head down, because I'm getting a lot of pressure, and starting to feel kicks higher and higher up my belly.  We are officially into double digits in the countdown!  In two weeks I go for my glucose tolerance test, and hopefully we can schedule my c-section soon so we have a date to plan around.

I forgot to update the produce last week!

"Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes."
