Hello Third Trimester!! I'm glad you are here!

Courtesy of Baby Center:

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

I am now on the homestretch and in my third trimester!! This puts us closer to meeting our little man and this puts me over the moon! Today I have my glucose screening test and I will be getting the shot since Chad and I have opposite blood types. I have been given to wonderful baby showers and we are truly blessed to have the people in our lives that we do. Chad and I will never be able to express our gratitude enough to everyone!! Now that we have a wonderful stroller for Landon it is time to practice with that contraption because if not - we may have child services called on us...Practice makes perfect!!
That's all I have for now and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
I also welcome any advice for getting through the third trimester even though I feel fantastic now - I know some difficulties may lie ahead :)

27 Weeks!!!!

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

I would just like to add how entertained I am by watching my belly move. I started seeing the movement of my belly weeks ago but it is so pronounced now...Like waves on my stomach and if I put my had down at the right time it's like I can feel his body. Which actually makes me tear up because I cannot wait to meet my little man! He is so active - I feel his movement so much throughout the day!! I love it! Next week I will be in my third trimester :) Amazing how quickly the first two have gone by!

My baby sister is getting married!!!!

My baby sister got engaged over the weekend Mr. Daniel Bentley! My family could not be more excited for them and to welcome him into our family (which he already has been for soooo long). These two were made for each other!! As her sister, I cannot wait to start all of the planning and share this time in her life with her! She will never know how proud I am of her and all that she has accomplished! Jennifer, You are going to be one amazingly beautiful Bride! There is so much going on in our family right now :) I love it!

Congratulations to Jennifer Martin and Daniel Bentley as they begin the next chapter in their life together!!!
