Ok- I'm ready to stay home and be a couch potato now. We just got back from Wyoming and it was marvelous. Josh and I had a date and I filled up on the best chili rellenos around (not authentic at all, and it's delicious), we took Eli to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and he has been inseparable from Deano his Dinosaur ever since (named by Papa), and we spent a whole day up at the mountain where Eli fished and rode four wheelers. It was great seeing so much of our family and Eli has been asking to go to Grandma's house since we've been back.
Since moving out, going to Denver, moving in, and going to Wyoming I'm beat. We have another full week and are pretty much on the go until July 5th. The good news is this pregnancy is flying by and Eli has been (mostly) happy as a clam.
Anias: Week 26
Just for fun- here's me with Eli at 26 weeks
Anias: Week 28
Eli
I came up with a new game called "train's coming!" where I tell mom a train is coming and she pretends to be a choo choo that chases and tickles me. I also made up a game where I hide in mom and dad's closet and pop out wearing something new every time. I'll go in, and come out wearing a hat. Then, I'll go in and come out wearing dad's shoes. Mom laughs every time. I love to swim and dance and I say new words like awesome, fragile, and off limits. I ask to see dinosaurs often and Deano sleeps with me always. I still somersault when happy and I love riding "lawn mowers" (4 wheelers). I saw a horse and a deer in real life and was confused! I was convinced the deer was a horse. I like to call mom Shantel and I love to fish and throw the fish back to the water. I bit through my last binkie and now suck my thumb. I like to ask "what's that?" and loud noises scare me. I looked at myself in the mirror wearing a button up shirt and said "I'm handsome!". I like to crawl over the couch and go "ouch! My ankle". I started potty training and had two whole days in a row with no accidents!

Anias: Week 26
Baby’s size: Butternut squash
Symptoms: stretch marks, swelling, sciatic nerve pain, popping hips, numb feet
Cravings: hot dogs, cheddar pizza- and I finally got to eat sarma!
Milestone: I had to take my wedding rings off and we can now see him move from across the room (well, other people can, I'm always with him obviously)
Other things: Raegan gave me a nice pat to tell me goodbye and Madison gave me a snug hug. Madison got to feel me kick too! Grandma and Papa booked their plane tickets to come see me.

Anias: Week 28
Baby’s size: Coconut
Symptoms: hot flashes at night
Weight gain: 33 lbs
Cravings: Chik Fil A original chicken sandwich with extra pickles
Milestone: My belly button is now an outie
At the doctor: He weighed 2.5 lbs and had a "strong" heart beat
Other things I’ve noticed: Anias kicks the most when I sing to Eli before naps or bedtime. He still freezes up most of the time when Josh tries to feel him kick, but he’s super active at about 11pm every night. I am ready to nest and dying to get his room ready.
