Growing Belly- 25 weeks

11/30/08: I can't believe we only have about 15 weeks to go! She's now 13 and a half inches long and weighs 1 and a half pounds (the same weight as a rutabaga). What's a rutabaga you ask- well you got me, but it looks like a big root.

We had a great Thanksgiving with family and the baby even got to dance a little (now you know I can't resist dancing with Kristin to the Devil Went Down To Georgia)! Till next week...

Growing Belly- 24 weeks

11/23/08: She is now 12 inches long (a whole foot) and weighs about 1 1/2 pounds. She's the size of an ear of corn!

Everything is still going great- she's moving around a lot and ready to eat a big Thanksgiving feast next week! I've been feeling a little more tired at night and go to bed a little earlier than normal, but otherwise have been doing good. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Growing Belly- 23 Weeks

11/16/08: She now measures over 11" long (the size of a small doll) and weighs over 1 pound (the same weight as a large mango)! She's really been moving around a lot lately. Nathan felt her kick for the first time last week (11/13/08). It was pretty amazing and he was so excited! We're also starting to see my stomach move when she's active.

I had another doctor's visit on the 14th and everything checked out good. Her heart was beating strong and all the ultrasound tests came back healthy. As you can see, I'm really starting to pop out now! Till next time...

Ultrasound Pics

Here are some ultrasound pictures from our various doctor visits. It's amazing to see her grow from a tadpole to a little person! The first ultrasound picture was taken at 11 weeks, then 13 weeks, then at 19 weeks. The last three pictures are her skeleton face, her foot pushed up against the top of my stomach and then the revealing picture that told us she is a girl (3 little lines)!

Growing Belly- 22 Weeks

11/10/08: She's growing! She is now the size of a spaghetti squash at 11 inches long and 1 whole pound! I've been feeling her move around in there, especially after I eat.

Growing Belly- 21 Weeks

11/1/08: She's now the size of a carrot and weighs a whopping 3/4 of a pound! She's 10 1/2 " long and has been moving around a lot more this week. I've been feeling little movements that feel like bubbles popping inside my belly! It's pretty neat to feel her move around in there. 'Till next week...
