24.5 weeks!

Passed the viability mark and cruising right along! I'm getting bigger and bigger these days, which I suppose is normal but honestly - just so strange... My belly button has definitely flattened out, but not popped, yet. It's close. Jeremy finds this pretty amusing! I can't imagine just how big this belly will stretch.

So far I've been feeling ok- getting over a cold, and now thanks to having a new furnace placed, getting over some massive allergy/asthma attacks (we had to use our wood stove to heat the house for about a week). I'm still coughing at times but it's much better overall. I see the doctor next week, and yes I will tell her all about it.

Baby girl seems to be doing well - she's kicking and moving all the time! It's pretty much the coolest feeling and really makes you feel pretty amazing knowing you're actually growing a baby in there! I'd heard it was the best feeling, but it really is special. Jeremy has even felt a few kicks now, so fun! 

Christmas!

Well now it has come and gone, don't you hate that about the holidays? It seems so far away for so long and then BAM it's here and gone & all that's left is a ton of boxes to recycle and pine needles to vacuum up. Perhaps that's what makes it so special? That, and the time spent with family of course. Jeremy and I were lucky enough to spend Christmas Day with his family and then my parents came down the 26th. We are very blessed to have such great families! 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Years to you all! 2014 is going to be amazing!

It's a .....

GIRL!! 

I forgot to post these pictures from our gender reveal at Thanksgiving. Jeremy and I found out at my 19 week ultrasound but tricked my family into thinking we didn't know yet then gave out cupcakes with color on the inside... I had fun watching people guess what they thought and then see who was right! 

Jeremy is not quite ready for all the pink, bows, lace, and dresses... But I know he's going to have the biggest daddy's girl on his hands in just a few more months ;) 

(Attempting to take selfies... And please disregard Jeremy's mustache - it was "movember"!)

Over halfway there, I can't believe it!! Time has gone slowly so far but I have a feeling it will zoom by these next few months. I Had my anatomy and gender ultrasound right before Thanksgiving - the doctor reports that everything looks great so far so that's great to hear! She also confirmed that the radiologist agreed with the technician, it's a GIRL! I didn't have much of a feeling one way or the other until that morning, I really thought it was going to be a boy! Of course Jeremy was hoping for a boy, so we were both quite surprised when the tech said girl! I couldn't be happier, I just wanted a healthy baby and so far we have that. Fingers and toes crossed that she continues to grow and stays healthy in there :)

Not exactly the best picture of me. When does the pregnancy "glow" start because I definitely do NOT have it yet!
