26 Weeks (January 19th - 25th)

I'm 14.4 inches tall and you might be able to hear my little heart beating through mommy's belly!

Tony and I went to a Build-A-Bear Workshop this week to make Lydia's first stuffed animal. We chose the Happy Hugs Teddy (17 inches tall & tan in color). We bought the bear an "It's a Girl" t-shirt with a white pacifier for the hospital when Lydia is born. We also got a purple outfit with snowflakes to match the nursery. We were able to record a personalized message for her as a sound to be added to a push button inside the teddy bear. We also got to create a custom birth certificate for the teddy bear, which we named Snowflake (born on 8-18-09, the day we found out we were pregnant). I can't wait to give it to her!

We checked out the Toys 'R' Us in town this week and were very satisfied with the baby section. It looks as though we won't have to make anymore trips to Babies 'R' Us in Birmingham because our Toys 'R' Us store has everything we need. While we were there we fell in love with this little stuffed Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. When you shake it, he says all kinds of crazy phrases. We were laughing so hard playing with it that Tony was like, "We have to buy this thing for Lydia!" This little girl is spoiled already and she's not even here yet!
