26 Weeks

Apparently baby is still the size of an eggplant according to one website, but I found a funny blog that describes the size of the baby for men. According to that blog, Baby Holt is the size of a 13 inch boot. Of course he is!

I bought 2 things for our sweet baby boy today. I am in love with BabyLegs, these leg warmers for baby. They help them when they're learning to crawl (to protect their knees), they keep their legs warm without having to wear pans (easier for diaper changes), but they are also just plain cute. The original BabyLegs can be quite pricey, so I looked for alternatives. In an effort to support Etsy, a website for handmade and homemade items, I bought these 2 pairs from Etsy seller knottybabywear. One pair for when baby is being naughty and another for when he's being nice. :)

Aren't they adorable?

This is how they're worn:

Stay tuned for my 26 week belly photo!

Halfway and Big News!

As of Christmas Day, I am 20 weeks pregnant, which means I'm halfway to meeting our sweet baby!

This week, Baby Holt is the size of a cantaloupe.



"Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!"

And, the biggest news of all...we found out on Monday that we're having a BOY!
