That's all I want to do these days.....

26ish weeks

OK, so I've been bad about keeping up with these pics as they actually happen. In part, the reason is I just don't like the pics that are taken.

But, I guess since I have them, I should post them...

26 weeks:

The future of this blog...

So, I have recently been contemplating the future of this blog.

Right now, the sole focus of this separate blog is to keep a record of the pregnancy. (See, I haven't been filling in my pregnancy journal..but, no fear. I can just print this out, stick it in the book, and there we have it!)

However, once this little girl is born, other than possibly the first few days in the hospital that will be a blur, most of this little ones life, for better or worse, will involve Mini Me. It seems to make sense to me, that the blogs be integrated.

So, here is what I have decided:

This blog will remain and will get updated with Baby Girl #2's milestones and stats. Again, it's like an electronic baby book, that I will eventually get made into a real book.

But, most of the anecdotal stories and pictures will go onto the other blog, which may be renamed.

That is all. Carry on.

Double Digits

Today is another mini-milestone. I've crossed over into the land of double digits. Only 99 days to go until my due date.

A little comparison

Just for fun, let's do a little pictoral comparison, shall we?

Here is my belly at 30 weeks (with Mini Me, in Dec. 2006):

Here is my belly at 25 weeks (with Mini Me 2.0, in June 2009):

Interesting, no?

Vooolllllcaannoo!

We had company this week, and completely forgot to take a 24 week pic. So, we'll get on that for this week.

But, in recent developments...I am on fire. Quite literally. I eat meat, I have heartburn. I eat veggies, I have heartburn. I drink water...yup, you guessed it!

And, I think my little girl had a growth spurt in the past couple of days, because my skin is stretching like crazy and I feel like she's pushing to get out through my belly button which is protruding quite a bit now.

Ah well, such is life as we trudge through the last few weeks of the second trimester.

I do have to add that Mini Me is very excited to have a little sister. She talks to her every day, and gives her kisses. Now, it may be a whole different ballgame once she's actually born. But, for now, I'll just enjoy the sweet moments when my little girl kisses my belly and says, "I love you, sister".

Happy V-Day!

Happy V-day to us!!!!

No, not Valentine's Day (My mind's been a little lost lately, but I'm not THAT far behind!)

It's Viability Day!!!

Week 24. The next little milestone.

If the baby were to be born now, there is a very good chance she would survive. That is not to say there would not be massive risks, complications and such. And, we certainly WANT her to stay inside and develop for at least 13 more weeks (preferably not longer than 16 more weeks, though!). But, there is some sense of relief, in my mind and heart, at least, that should something go wrong, there is a chance that she would make it.

So, Happy V-day, little one!

23 weeks

I forgot to mention... At my appointment, they gave me my hospital admission paperwork and the preliminary birth certificate forms. Eeek! I'm having a baby...relatively soon!

Here is my 23 week belly pic, and as a special treat...a bare belly pic.

22 week appointment

So, everything is still looking perfect.

Belly is measuring on track and all is well.

Heartrate: 150's

My official weigh in results: 160!
