The 24 Week Update

Baby is getting bigger! She is over a pound now and it's really starting to show in my belly size.

I will post pictures soon of my growing stomach so that you can see the progression.

All is well with baby but now that she's so big there are some side effects for me. Last night I woke up to a terrible leg cramp which went away for a minute and then came back again. I can still feel it this evening. Ouch!

We've been keeping busy planning the last details of our wedding in 25 days!! Last Friday we went out for supper to a great Italian restaurant in town and came home to find a beautiful patio set all set up on our back deck. There were balloons and wedding bells attached and a card was under a candle on top. It was an early wedding present from friends!

Life is good.

22 Week Update

Hello!

Tomorrow we are 22 weeks pregnant. It's been a wonderful, exhilarating and sometimes stressful experience. It's hard to believe we will be strolling down the street with our baby in about four and a half months!

Work started on September 7th and it has been going really well. I'm happy to be back into the swing of things, keeping busy and reconnecting with my team. I'm less tired than the first trimester (thank goodness).

New: breaking out like a teenager! Except I never did have breakouts as a teenager so this is not fun.

: baby is almost one pound!

There are no new cravings to report, but I did have a massive heartburn attack two nights ago. Luke had some antacids so I took two and that helped enough to go to sleep. I haven't had any since so I'm hoping it was an isolated incident...please God let it be! It felt like I had eaten a whole pot of spaghetti sauce and it was creeping up my esophagus.

Well, that's it for now. I had a second ultrasound last week and the baby's spine is looking like it's in mint condition. They gave me four more pictures for the fridge :)

My second bridal shower is this weekend so I'm looking forward to showing off the bump to all of my friends and family.

I'm grateful for blessings.
