12 More Weeks!

May 30, 2012 - Well we have entered the third trimester! We are at 28 weeks now with 12 more to go...if we go full term.

We had another ultrasound yesterday and baby girl is looking good. My placenta has moved from 1 centimeter to now 1.8 centimeters away from my cervix which is a good thing. I am still on my precautions, but it is looking positive. The ultrasound tech said that we will probably have to get another ultrasound done, but she is pretty sure that it should be fine by the next one and we should be good to go! YEAH! I hope so...keep your fingers crossed that all goes well. We see the doctor Friday, so we will know more then too.

Here is the latest picture of our little girl!

Baby Girl at 28 Weeks

I have to also show you this picture of her leg. To me it looks as though she is preparing herself for wearing high heels! This little girl is totally my daughter!

26 Weeks

May 16, 2012 - Things have been crazy around here! So many projects around the house and work has been very busy for me because of a project we are doing at a local park. It has been a couple weeks since I have posted and I apologize for that. Now is the time that the photos of my belly start to look bigger every week.

26 Weeks

It is amazing to look down and see it grow from one day to the next. Some days I think I can really tell a difference from one day to the next too! It is such an amazing thing. Our little girl is moving around a lot. When we rub my belly, you can pretty much tell where she is situated.

Sunday was Mother's Day and we spent some time with Justin's mom and my mom on Sunday. Justin also gave me a gift for Mother's Day. I got a gift certificate to get a massage and he also gave me a wind chime. I just love the way those sound. The day was very nice and I got a chance to see my brother and his family.

The past few weeks we have been pretty busy around our house. We have been planting flowers and veggies outside. Justin is finishing up work on the shed. He got the sprinkler system going and he has been really busy mowing the lawn about three times a week which to me seems like a lot. He enjoys doing it though.

Baby's Room

We have also had some company over the past few days helping us complete the painting in the baby's room. Larry and Geralyn have been here the past few days helping us paint. We got it done, but there is some touch up work that we need to complete on the striped wall. Here is is though. Hope you all enjoy it. I just love the colors and the striped wall. I think it looks really cool and it is going to look even better with our little babes in there! She is going to love it! Thank you so much Larry and Geralyn for all the work you have done to help us with the room. WE LOVE IT!

Next week we will be in our third trimester. Wow time flies when you're having fun. Our day will be here soon! See you back here in a week or so.

24 Weeks and Feeling Great!

May 2, 2012 - We had our 24 week appointment this week and everything is looking good. I have gained 4 pounds since the last visit to the doctor which ends up averaging about 1 pound a week. The doctor was very happy about that. Everything is looking good so far though. We have another ultrasound in 4 weeks to look at the placenta again. Keep us in your thoughts that it moves!

24 Weeks

I have been feeling very good lately. The only thing that has been bothering me is my back and my inner legs when I go for long walks for exercise. I assume this is just part of the process because I never had problems before walking or exercising. It is really only when I walk. The elliptical treats me well, so I just need to start using that more often.

This week I have been getting a lot more heartburn/acid reflux. Since I have had problems with this for most of my adult life, the doctor said if it gets to be a regular thing I just need to start taking medication daily. I don't think I am at that point yet and want to give it a week or so before I start taking anything.

Justin just painted the ceiling of the baby's room tonight. We will work on the rest of the walls soon. His dad and Geralyn will most likely come to help with the rest of the walls. I am sure they all just love my idea with the stripes on the wall!

Milo's excited to meet baby

This weekend is opening weekend of fishing, so Justin is going fishing up north with his brother and cousins. I will be here in town working on a project for work. Our young professionals group is installing a trail that parents can take their kids to for learning and fun at the same time. It will be a busy weekend, but I will not be doing any of the heavy lifting! I will be there more to do the lighter work and to take pictures.

This is all my jabber for tonight! We will be back in a week to post some more pictures.
