Most of you are probably wondering what I think of this heat? I L-O-V-E, love it! I’ve always been the one who finds weather in the 70s cold, so this 90-100 degree weather has been welcomed with open arms. I must admit, the refuge available in our central air is one of the reasons that makes the heat so pleasant. I can get in my car, drive around and run errands in the hot weather. When I get home, it’s a nice cool temperature, perfect for a nap (if I took them).

Each week is passing more quickly than the last. It seriously feels like just yesterday that I wrote our last blog. We really need to get working on Sophie’s nursery. Luckily, a paint color has officially been chosen!

The color will appear differently on different screens, but to describe it, it’s a nice shade of light pink. Not very pastel-ey because it doesn’t really have the chalky look most people associate with Easter pastels. And the color isn’t such a bright or saturated pink that it comes off pepto bismol-ey.

We’ll also soon have the glider and ottoman. It was delivered to Babies R Us on Monday. We’ll be bringing it home by the end of the week. I’m planning on hitting up the Fabric District in Los Angeles to procure fabric for a slip cover. I’m thinking a nice cream color, accented with pink pillows.

Also in baby merchandise news, I thought I had an AWESOME deal on the Graco Quattro Tour Sport when I got it for $220! Well, lo and behold, this week, they mark it down even further. I had an errand that would be right near the Babies R Us, so brought along the receipt and asked for a price adjustment. Everything is just hunky dory.

As I sit here, rambling away, Sophie just gave me a few good swift kicks to remind me of the reason I’m actually writing this blog. This week’s baby bump feels quite a bit bigger to me this week. Check it out:

Actually, I think, to really see how much bigger my belly has become, we need to do a side-by-side comparison. The photo on the left is my baby bump at week 18, and the photo on the right is my baby bump at week 26.

As for Sophie, here’s a little photo provided by Babyzone.com. Kevin insisted that I had to switch out the photo from Parenting.com, as this week’s photo was beyond creepy.

Sophie, interestingly enough, currently has blue eyes. Despite of what her ethnicity is, all babies have blue eyes at 26 weeks. She’s now more than a foot long and weighs a good two pounds. I’m sure she’ll be coming out much more pleasantly plump.

Check out our blog later this week for a recap on my makeover. Drastic, by no means, but definitely necessary. I’ve had a nasty several months since getting pregnant. Between morning sickness and just plain illness, I haven’t been looking real hot. However, the last month has been a real hit to the morale. First, a nurse at urgent care asked me if I was Kevin’s mother! A few weeks later, my grandmother asked me why my armed was bruised. It wasn't bruised! It was just begging for a good waxing. Le sigh, it was obviously time to put myself back together. I’ve gotten a wax, a haircut, and replenished my supply of makeup and skincare products. I’m still waiting on the arrival of a few new makeup brushes, still need to have my face threaded and definitely need to procure some more maternity clothing (I currently own less than a dozen maternity items).
