So everyone always is talking about "oh have you had random people touch your tummy yet?" and "Oh man if a stranger just touched my belly I'd flip on them" or " do people walk up & touch you yet???? lOl Well most times I wish people would touch me more. I'm not weird about that stuff at all. I'm so excited about the life inside of me it brings me joy when other people get excited & want to feel apart of it all. So I never thought it would be weird & really most people ask first & I'm like OF COURSE touch away! If enough days go by & no one has touched my belly I'll just offer it up or demand a friend touch it... hahahha.
WELLLLLL today I had my first experience with a completely RANDOM stranger touching my belly without asking & it was hilarious.
So Karen & I were downtown buying into yet another set of our ever addictive lifestyle games... yes purchasing another set for dominon. {Actually with our forces combined we now own EVERY single set... Obsess much?} lol. So we are at Aerie Gryfalia's (the best local game shop around) in downtown bloomington & karen wanted to make a gif of my belly standing in front of the lincoln mural across the street. So there we are minding our own nerdy business taking pictures. This lady come walking across the street smiling & just says something along the lines of " awww getting photos of the belly!" and she reaches out (mind you as I'm walking the opposite direction as she is) and not only touches my belly but does the whole RUB-A-DUB on the belly!!!!!! HAHHHAHAHA I just stopped completely shocked & speechless. I had no clue what to do or say... but she didn't stop & make it more awkward she just kept walking. lol. So I just giggled & walked off like it was totally a weird dream. Man that was weird. It didn't really bother me or anything, I liked it in a weird way but it sure was STRANGE. lol. It made me feel like I lived in a little village & everyone was one big family & I had known her for years or something.

Never Been So Excited
seriously.. i'm getting ready to wash my first load of baby clothes, get the nursery started, and I've never been so excited in my life. He's excited too cause he's kicking with joy in there!
Most of these cool & unique shoes come all the way from the lands of Japan thanks to Stephanie! The little monkey sock boots... well those are for when I caved last week at HOW stinking cute they were.
Most of these clothes are Kai's SUPER cute hand-me-downs! Once again cute Japanese clothes. Then I broke down & have purchased quite a few things myself & Libby just sent several incredibly cute things this week. One cute onsie is from one of Nate's trainees & they are just all SOOO stinkin cute I'm beside myself with happiness.
I'm once again weeks lat eon belly photos... I really need to get better at that. The last post was 26 weeks weeks I think & now I'm at 28 weeks! It's goes so fast!
Stay tuned for nursery extravaganza!

FunsieS!!!!
Seriously want to know the highlights of my weeks?????? This amazing little cupcake pan that Stephanie made for me filled with little cupcake surprises! Yes it's so FUN. When I start a new week I get to open one!!!!!!! She filled each cupcake with a note of encouragement, a joke, or a scripture. They all give me such inspiration. It's the best thing for me ever cause I am staring at it every day wish the days by so I can open the next one. Check it out!
Concentrating on getting this whole registration thing out of the way. Seriously so much more intense than wedding registration. Besides the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm already so pregnant that I can't remember what I entered a room for... yeah good luck to myself.
We've done consumer reports on a few things, friends have told us what's best for a few things. I have this panicked feeling that I am forgetting something important. Then Steph reminds me I've got two of what I need growing on my chest... then I calm down... haha. If Jesus can be born in a barn, placed in some strawy dirty manger, and he grew up heathy I'm gonna be just fine. My baby lives in America the land of too much... haha. Anyways it is stressful & I want to get it over with. I'm about to pay some mom to do the whole thing for me... haha.

I've got no clever title for a cucumber
seriously... no clever title. Baby B reaches the length of a cucumber this week. My app says he's the size of a cucumber but serious that is just smaller than last weeks size??? So it much be the length? I mean how many cucumbers do you see larger than a papaya????? or even an ear of corn???? NONE! But 26 weeks is here & I'm happy.
He's still cozy inside my womb & that makes mama happy! He still kicks up a storm but it feels different now... def like he's losing space quick. I've started to feel a little better other than this terrible constant mysterious pain in my back. Someone out there say some serious prayers for that to go away. It's really excruciating. Less tightness has helped with the random pains, I'm not sick anymore really just some sinuses at night & soar throat from mouth breathing... at least which is weird cause he's just getting bigger ever day! I hope he's putting on the fat cause I have been and I can't wait to nuzzle the little chubby arms!
The extreme tiredness is kicking in again. I'm not complaining mind you. It's actually really nice. Sleeping has been great. I wake up about every 2 hours to either roll over or pee but I fall back asleep in about 20 min so it doesn't bother me. The mornings are the nicest. I fall back asleep when my sweet Nate leans over & give me a snuggle or a kiss when he leaves for work & I curl back up into bliss. Seriously why does it always feel so much better to sleep in the morning than at night????? AHHH sweet marvelous sleepy mornings. I don't have much longer so I am enjoying them with all my heart.
Getting really excited about traveling to Florida in a few weeks. I can't wait to see Nate's mom & step dad- who we have not seen since the summer. Also can't wait to dig my belly holes & lay face down on a beach!!!!!!!!! I know it won't be that warm but the sun & humidity is going to feel like heaven!!!! I love to travel & it's probably our last chance for a little while.
Picture time!!!!!! It actually looks like winter here. Because winter came & visited bloomington for the total of one week. it's now gone again & 55 degrees today. lol. It was AMAZING though. I love it all!

Hijacked
HELP- I've been official hijacked by some sort of alien. I've heard scientifically they say babies in the womb are the perfect parasite! They take everything first ( of course I would want to give my cutie everything first anyways... but yeah no choice here)
He has taken over my body & not just my uterus. He took my belly, my ribs are covered in a healthy layer of fat, my thighs have discovered cellulite, my jaw line... yeah it's non existent these days- think it's hiding out in my neck, my arms have decided jiggling is in style & my fingers don't want to fit my ring anymore... I still shove it on there daily telling myself it will somehow come off at night... does anyone have a spare diamond around for me to borrow? Size 8... haha yes I did wear a size 6- He's taken my weight & expanded it. I'm about 25 lbs heavier & it's never been so hard to walk up the steps! lol. Something happened to my back about 4 weeks back & I think I'll survive? It's just like the right rib is shoved into my spinal cord??? HURTS SO FREAKING BAD ALL THE TIME! Laying down helps at night so I long for that all day. Lucky me that I work at home & when the pain gets too bad I can always lay down!
He has taken my health. Yes- I've been sick since thanksgiving. I think there was a week in there somewhere when I started to feel alright.... It's mainly just cold & sinsus. I'm building his immune system for postpartum. He took my brain about 5 weeks ago. I started wondering what I was getting in the refrigerator for after the 9th time opening the door & staring into the abis. It takes 5x as long to do anything because I feel REALLY stupid these days & I'm forgetful. I can't even remember human english words? I had to ask Karen what the stand for my tv was called. HMMM a TV stand... lol. I just kept thinking there had to be a name for it.... haha It's really all hilarious. I'm glad I have a sense of humor cause I need it to to survive.
He has not yet taken my eyesight ( I hear sometimes it can get worse) I'll give it to him if he wants it... lol. He can see now though! Isn't that amazing??????? Time for the flashlight games. He hasn't taken my feet but I here they will swell soon too. Also heard they can grow a size?????? Gosh they are already big enough I'll be great at swimming.. my own personal flippers.
So as my body changes & adjusts to this hijacking I laugh, eat, cry, & lean on my Nate for encouragement ( which he is really good at)
With all the change & hitting 25 weeks I knew it was time to do maternity photos so Nate & I headed out on adventure. I know it's January... but yeah no snow! 60 & sunny! I really wanted to wait until there was snow for these but I'm just like GIANT already so it needed to happen. Besides we leave for Florida in 3 weeks & we are doing more down there so I needed to spread them out a bit! So enjoy Nate's fantastic photography!!!!!!
Seriously I can't rave enough of how great a job he did. Only he could take this planet & turn it into something beautiful! I really did feel pretty again after taking these & thanks to everyone on facebook for the sweet & encouraging comments.
I will survive & have a super healthy baby in my arms to cuddle & nibble & love soon!!!!!!!!!!!
