25 Weeks

6th Month Appointment

Had my Dr. appointment yesterday and all went well - Gracias a Dios!

Not too much to report on. They took my blood pressure and weighed me, like usual. Everything's fine. (I had gained 6 lb since my last appointment - which puts me at a whopping 15 lb weight gain so far!!!!! Dr. Zuckerman said it's fine and that I'm doing well. So I guess that made me feel a little better. Shocking for me. Let me tell you. I almost pass out everytime I step on that scale!!!) Anyway, then he came in to measure me/baby, and to hear the heartbeat. The Dr. couldn't believe how much she was moving. I was laying there, and he was watching her bounce up and down through my skin...and when he tried to listen to the heartbeat, she kept kicking the doppler! :) Well, more like a body nudge then a kick. Anywho, the Dr. said those were some big movements for 23 weeks...but I measured normal, so doesn't mean anything yet! :( I'm so hoping that at appointments to come, he'll tell me I'm measuring farther along then we thought, so that we can push that due date up some!!!! :)

It's been a good week for me and Albert - we've seen answered prayers! God continues to show us His faithfulness and love, over and over again. Thank you Lord! We serve an AWESOME and FAITHFUL GOD!

23 weeks...and my growing belly!!

I love my husband so very much!! :)

Ok, my belly looks HUGE in this one! Seriously, I don't feel like it really looks that big in real life! =/

For the records, 23 weeks prego!

Back, Busy, and 22 Weeks!

So I've been back from Springfield for almost a week now. I sort of hit the ground running - because I feel like we've been busy non-stop!

Springfield was very nice. It was so nice to spend some time with some family.

This week (Monday) we went to a Hillsong United concert!! It was so much fun! We had an awesome time with our friends, and an awesome time of worship. The only downfall (for me), was that we were right in front (not a downfall), but therefore had NO seats!!! It was standing room only, with a bizillion other people! I was dying half way through!!! But we still had a great time. The baby must love the music - she was dancing with me the whole time. She's the same way at church on Sundays. She kicks SO much during worship! It's awesome. Beto loves it - He says she's praising the Lord.

So not too much to update...she moves almost constantly, non-stop. I don't know when or if she ever sleeps. I love laying on the couch at night, and watching her pop up through my skin and move across my belly. It's such a highlight of the pregnancy!! What a joy! :)

Oh, and we have finalized a name....we'll tell soon! (still trying to work on a middle name, so I kind of want to wait until we have the whole name all set) :)

Besides all that - nothing new! Doing well and VERY HAPPY that Summer weather has finally arrived (for the most part - when it's not raining, like it is today!) I had my first day at the pool on Tuesday! It was FABULOUS!!!!!!!! :)

That's all for now......
