Week 26- the crib debacle

Well week 26 is here. Last week of the 2nd Trimester! Tank is a little over 2 lbs and is as long as an English Hothouse cucumber (14inches). The lat 24 hours though, tank has been kicking and moving like crazy. I think he had a growth spurt because at one angle he will be down by my pelvis and the the other is at the top right by ribs. He is packing quite a punch. I can't image 8lbs (or 10) kicking inside me. I burn more calories when he moves right? His sensory and nervous system is developing more and his eyes may even  open this week. I am feeling pretty good. I have at least one day a week where I am exhausted but otherwise am doing good.

We spent all day Sunday looking for a crib--5 hours 10 stores. yes, there are cribs in anchorage but you can't get matching dresser or changing table. Nothing that Kris and I liked were available or in stock. It was very disheartening. So my goal today is to try to see if I can find something that will suffice.

I had to post a picture of my brother in law and his girlfriend because they made my week! They sent Tank a wonderful, inspiring book. I can't wait for all the grandparents to read it to him. I think it will be in our collection for years to come. I have posted the front page later down. Thank you Kreighton and Lisa!!!

Chloe and I went for a hike around Flat top. There is still a lot of snow. She's happy though.

This is how much snow is left up at Flat top

Anchorage has been having beautiful weather. View of downtown from Glen Alps

Our backyard. We are almost ready to start raking. The ground is pretty soggy though. I'm not all that excited to see how many surprises Chloe has for me out there!
