26 Weeks Pregnant

Week 26 went by so amazingly fast. I felt my baby girl moving around all kinds this week. She is getting so strong! I love feeling her movements it is such a cool feeling. This week I have been doing a lot of planning for baby. Trying to figure out how I want to organize all of the baby things I have so far collected, from sweet gifts given to me and things that my husband and I have purchased for baby. It was a lot of fun browsing for baby furniture with my mom and husband  over the weekend and I think we have finally decided that we will be getting a Pack N Play for baby to sleep in for the first few weeks until we transfer her into the crib we will be getting. There is so much to do! You can watch my 26 week pregnancy vlog here...
