26 Week Baby Belly!

Okay, technically these photos are from one day shy of 27 weeks (this most recent Tuesday), so take it either way. :-) With a due date of July 21st, she's officially 13 weeks away (11-15 weeks in all probability). Time flies when you're having fun! Damon & I are savoring our last weeks of sleeping in and mostly functioning on our own schedule. Natural changes, however, serve as a gentle way to break me in to being wide awake in the middle of the night, and having to pause whatever I'm doing to feed (myself) again.

Elanor is a very busy little girl. She is now active enough to sometimes wake me at night. Just today I could feel her little feet at the top of my belly during lunch. I'm starting to be able to distinguish the difference between her head and feet sometimes! Today one of her feet seemed to reach my ribs as I was lounging around. I find that a good, tall posture typically increases overall comfort... although sometimes she can make good posture quite uncomfortable! In those cases my belly sticks out a bit more, like the first pic.

A baby moving and growing inside is perhaps the most awe-inspiring journey I have yet experienced.
