At today's doctor appointment we hit a milestone! I have never weighed more than 120 lbs and today I hit 136! And my stomach is measuring 26 inches at 26 weeks. This means that the baby is happily growing and healthy- and that's a huge relief :)
The last test we took came back negative- another plus because that means no diabetes. Matt and I are just getting over being sick, though I'm still coughing a lot. So doc gave me a pretty strong cough syrup script to take at night. And finally, my belly button used to be an innie, then it was flush with my skin. Now it's starting to become an outie, akin to a turkey timer! I imagine it'll "pop" before she's ready, but it's another one of those things that people don't tell you when they talk about being pregnant...
Hey - it was tricky for me, but I figured out how to follow this blog! My belly button poked out w/Kiera - it is back in now, but much bigger!

My goodness, you look like you are about ready to pop! LOL Well, there are alot of things that people don't tell you until its over, but since we are family... the baby will get heavier than what you ever thought. There will be bladder incontinence that comes with that. towards the end you will be able to feel her "hiccup" and her heatbeat. It will also feel like she is trying to punch her way out because there is little room for her to grow and move. It not easy, but it is the singlemost rewarding thing that a woman can experience. You are a strong woman, so this will be easy for you. congratulations on your new baby girl!
