Week 26

This was my last week of the 2nd trimester. The idea of starting my 3rd and final (official) trimester is a little sad and scary. But, as many people remind me, there is no turning back now! (Not that I would ever dream of it!)

Not much happened this past week - just kicking and pushing. I did have a new thing happen on the 4th - I could see the baby's limb pushing out of my stomach. Not sure what limb it was but it was definitely there. My little girl is growing up. =)

Well, that is all I have for now for week 26!

Happy 4th of July!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July to everyone! Libby is my little firecracker for this year but next year she'll be able to watch them (or be scared like Mommy =))! It is hard to believe she'll be about 9 months by then!

Any any case, Happy 4th of July!!!

Week 25

No real updates this week...baby is getting bigger and stronger. Sleeping is getting tricky because I can't make it even 2 hours w/o having to get up from the dancer using my bladder as a spring board. I'm not complaining though...I like knowing when she is awake. =)

In family news....

• My sister had a shower last week and it was so great to see her and her husband, Adam, so happy. They received so many wonderful things and their little one is going to be so happy. =)
• My cousin has a shower next week and I currently have 4 cousins on my Dad's side that are pregnant. 3 of us will all have our babies between Sept 3rd and October 6th. The other will be coming in January. It is so awesome to think that these kids will get to be about the same age and grow up together.

I think that pretty much sums up week 25!

Week 24: Karate Kid

Jim and I have decided that we're growing a future karate kid. She kicks up a storm now, and I pretty much always know where she is. I'm constantly reminded that this will be the only time I will know where she is all of the time. =)

In any case, this kid is a mover and a shaker. She also likes to poke me. I find it adorable but I have heard that it gets annoying after awhile..I have a hard time believing that. Being able to feel her is my favorite part of the pregnancy and makes everything worth while. She is kicking so hard now she can actually move my entire belly. We noticed it Monday or Tuesday of this week while I was watching TV. It is definitely one form of entertainment. =)

Week 23

It is very hard for me to realize that I've almost been pregnant for 6 months. That is something that baffles me is the math. But in any case, according to that I'm 6 months pregnant tomorrow.


Last Saturday friends surprised Jim and me with a shower. It was so sweet and such a surprise! I almost missed it because of work...but I still made it! If you guys are reading this, thanks again. Jim and I appreciated it SO much!!

Not much else has happened this week...again with the kicking. The latest trick is when I put my laptop near my stomach, she will kick it away. How adorable! She doesn't want Mommy to work either. =)

I'm being reminded that I still have not posted any pictures...I promise to do so soon...really.... =)

Week 22 Review

Not much has happened this week. Baby is definitely getting stronger...she is kicking so hard now she can actually move things away from my stomach that are sitting on it. It is pretty cute. =)

Jim is making a habit of talking to my tummy. We're trying to have her recognize our voices now...we'll see how that works. =)

My favorite thing about the pregnancy so far is feeling the baby kick. It is the most amazing thing and when it happens I just feel such a connection. Definitely work putting up with the swollen feet this summer. =)

Week 21 Review

What can I say about this week? Kicking, kicking, and more kicking. Nothing else really happened. I just keep getter bigger and bigger and happier and happier. =) (seems a little backwards)
