26 weeks = 6 months


Darin was snapping pictures before I was ready, but I kinda like this one, even though I was not ready for it to be taken.

I am definately getting bigger these days and can't imagine what it will be like when the little one reaches birth weight and height. As of Thursday, my doctor said that she is 1 lb. 13 oz, crazy to think that she will probably gain at least another five pounds.

Yet again this is going to be short, but I finally took a picture, so I wanted to at least post it before another week went by. Life has been a little crazy the last little while, so I think that it is slowing down a bit and hopefully I won't be sick for awhile now. While Matt and Heather were down (great to have you guys visit), I got salmonella, although at the time I didn't know what it was. I went to the doctor once they left and was admitted to the hospital to start an IV and to try to figure out what was wrong. I was unable to eat or really drink, which is never a good thing especially with the little one. So, to make a long story short, I was in the hospital for four days and was so excited to be able to go home. Needless to say I won't be eating at a certain restaurant in the near future. Throughout it all baby was fine and I got to hear her heartbeat twice a day as they kept a close eye on her. I had my 24 week appointment this week (I know, a little late) and had another sonogram to check on the placenta, which has moved and is now looking great. It was fun to see our little girl again and the technician got another look and is quite certain that it is a little girl. So, that is the short update on what is going on.

Yeah!!! We can see you now! Thanks for reposting and it really is great to see you again! What a cute prego lady! Thanks for taking the pictures...

You think you are getting big but you are pretty small compared to what I was like at 6 months!(that would have put me at the beginning of December when I was pregnant with you and you were born the end of February...people were asking if I was going to have a Christmas Baby! I was as big as a house!)

ps...we made it to Florida and are enjoying the warm weather! sooooo nice!
