26 week jumping bean

24 weeks

baby girl is doing so well! she weighs 1 lb, 10 oz, putting her in the 54th percentile (just above average). the doctor said that the ultrasound pictures they took of her heart looked so good that they made copies of them to use as an example!

saying hello to us!

these 3D ultrasounds basically give you a sneak peak of what your baby is going to look like, which is totally cheating, but i can't get enough of it.

i have heartburn like you wouldn't believe, so i'm convinced she's going to come out with hair down to her shoulders. and my belly is growing like a freakin' weed. i had these pair of shorts (their size shall remain a secret) that fit me a week ago. i can't even get them zipped up now.

"Wow, you've gained...yeah...you've gained 7 pounds since you were last here." A wonderful comment made by the nurse today at my check-up. Seven pounds in 4 weeks. 'Wow' is right, lady.

Justin and I laid in bed the other night and watched my belly bounce all over the place. It was the neatest and weirdest thing we've ever seen. It seriously looked like she was practicing karate moves inside me. It's moments like that when you're reminded that there's an actual living thing growing inside you. It's crazy.
