26 weeks and going!

We have only one week left in the second trimester. How crazy!! I don't even believe how fast this is going. I am finally showing, although some clothes show is better than others. I should probably start wearing some of those shirts for my third of the month picture. I have gained 20 pounds....this is a little devastating, but I know it's for a good cause. Oh, we have an update to Cara's name. The spelling is different that I thought originally. It will be Carolyn. Since she will be named after Blake's Grandma, I figured I should spell it the way she does. I just found out she spells it with a Y. I'm happy with this. It's perfect! I washed 4 loads of baby clothes in Dreft yesterday! We got so many cute things! I am still in awe at over how great everyone is! Our next appointment is on the 28th, and after that, we start going every two weeks. I can't believe we are getting down to the end. It's just wonderful. I am getting more and more excited to meet this little person and see what she looks like and what her personality is going to be like. She is moving more and more. People can most defenitly feel her on the outside now. The cat can even feel her when he is draped across my belly. Gratch has been most interested in all the new baby things in the house. I think his favorite is the little thingy's that go over the hands so the baby doesn't scratch herself. I have found some of these in various places in the house! He is still in love with the crib, but that's okay. I will have a solution to that before Cara actually gets here. Well, I think that's it for this months update! I hope everyone is having a wonderful month so far!
