at six months

the photo was when i was about 24 weeks. i am at 28 weeks now and will be posting a new photo soon. only 12 weeks to go, more or less, and i am definitely looking pregnant, but still wearing the same jeans from pre-pregnancy days.

 

Merry Christmas

below is the ultrasound picture i promised to post. i had to get my scanner up and running before i could do it so it took me awhile, not because its difficult to get the scanner going but because it is difficult to get me motivated, especially if carl is home and we are on the couch watching tv, but he is out playing poker tonight, as he does every tuesday night, and i actually felt like getting away from the couch.

i bought a crib yesterday, from JCPenney. i am excited to get it delivered. it cost us a pretty penny but it is a crib that goes into a toddler bed then a full-size bed so it will grow with our child. the crib cost more than any other piece of furniture we had bought in the past. our first big investment in this child's life. i don't think i will be one of those parents who feels the need to buy everything for their child. i just don't see the point but we debated it and decided it would be a good idea to get a crib. can't have our baby sleeping in a drawer, although, really, its not like she would complain, right?

 

she was crossing her feet...

carl and i got to seen an ultrasound of the baby a few days ago and while the technician was doing all of the measurements and checks we got to see that the baby is likely a little girl and that she was crossing her feet. i will post the ultrasound photo of the baby later on.
i am on a modified bed rest this weekend due to some spotting that has kept occurring. My doctor was on her day off when i called with worry so i saw another doctor and after he checked me out he told me i had some type of infection that could be treated with a week of medication but to take it easy this weekend because this infection could cause premature labor and since i was lightly cramping the other day he told me to do nothing over the weekend.
Carl just came by to let me know that his drop will be dropping off dinner for us in a little bit. I told his mom about my suggested bed rest yesterday when we ran into her and i guess i have worried her enough to have food sent over. She is good to us both.
