Week 24

I am 24 weeks into my pregnancy now.  She is a very active little girl and kicks a lot, it is amazing to feel her moving.  Baby girl is now the size of a canteloupe.  Sections of her lungs are now expanding and she is starting to produce lung surfactant which helps to keep the lungs from collapsing after birth.  She is also starting to get some hair on her head.

Week 23

I am now 23 weeks into my pregnancy.  She can now hear loud sounds outside my belly, like cars honking and yelling.  Baby girl weighs about 1 full pound now and is the size of a grapefruit.  John got to feel the baby move for the first time this week, it was really cool.  Baby girl now kicks a lot especially if I am laying on my back.

Week 22

I am 22 weeks into my pregnancy.  Baby girl weighs almost 1 full pound and is around 11 inches tall.  She also has newly formed eyebrows.  I am also starting to feel her kick more and more, it is an amazing feeling.

Tis the Season (Its Christmas)

Christmas was so much fun.  We spent Christmas with my family this year.  John and I got a lot of awesome things for our baby.  We got a stroller and car seat, highchair, Moses basket, and lots of cute little clothes.  My mom made all the padding, siding and the pillow that are in the Moses basket.

Here is John trying to put the stroller together.  

The awesome pajama pants I made (if I do say so myself). 

Christmas afternoon was super fun because I  got to hang out with my mom, grandma, and sister and we read our books and took naps on my brothers giant bed.

A few random pictures of opening presents and the cool Christmas jello salad that I made.

Week 21

In case it is not obvious I am dresses up as Mary, the mother of Christ.  My family was preforming the Nativity for the Christmas season.
