27 weeks!

Well here I am at 27 weeks! After many requests, I figure I better put it up here. After talking to my mom, sounds like I may be carrying the baby like she carried both myself and Timmy. ALL OVER! I didn't realize until I had John take this picture yesterday. I am not certain where it is coming from as I have not gained much in the last month, maybe a pound or two. However, it will be all worth it!

I am now pretty obviously pregnant and people are able to tell by just looking at me. Just actually started within the past two weeks or so. Before that, people were just giving me "the look"... is she fat or pregnant? Glad to be past that stage!


The baby is kicking quite a bit and is very active. John was able to feel the baby move about a month ago, but we had to sit and wait for the baby to move. Now that they are getting stronger, it shouldn't be as difficult.


Other than that, we are working on the nursery and hopefully will be able to get things together before August. Gaddie (our cat) isn't very happy that we have torn "her bedroom" apart and she doesn't have anywhere to hide from Ace (the dog). She will just have to find another place!

Ultrasound


On March 23, 2009 we had our "big" ultrasound. The baby was measuring about a week ahead of schedule... I was hoping that they would change my due date to the end of July as it sounds so much closer than August! The ultrasound was pretty amazing, the baby was facing downwards the majority of the time, so we didn't get to see too much. Since then, we had a follow up appointment and Dr. Rice says that everything looks good and the heartbeat continues to be strong. The rate has been between 140-155 at each appointment. I am anxious to see out little one!
