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.

OB Visit

"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.

20 Week Visit

I took my Mom with me to meet her first granddaughter for my 20 week visit on Tuesday. Baby is still a girl and weighs 12 oz. now! Go big girl! I think she's taking ballet lessons inside my belly because she won't stop kicking me. I'm not complaining, though. It's the coolest feeling in the world! I might have some reservations about it when her 12 oz. little body turns into a 6 lb giant. But we'll see.

We've been kicking around baby names...ok....a baby name. So far, it's Reese. Girl names are so hard!

I made her a little somethin', somethin' over the weekend...

I've gained exactly the same amount with this pregnancy as I did with Davis at this point, and this baby weighs more than Davis did at 20 weeks. Go figure.

hyper fetus

this baby is so full of energy! i can feel her kick already! justin even felt it for the first time last night. i went to the ob yesterday for my check-up and we could barely hear the heartbeat through the doppler because she wouldn't be still! she's gonna come out dancing and doing cartwheels...just like her Mommy!

p.s. i can't stop shopping for her!

we're having a...

...girl!!!! we're, needless to say, so excited! more importantly, though, she's extremely healthy. she's measuring 17 weeks, 4 days and i'm only 17 weeks along. so her growth is great! now we just need a name for little miss pretty girl!

here, she has her hand up to her face and it looks like she's smiling!
