I have had so many requests for belly pics so here they are. I haven't been very good about taking them every week or every month for that matter, but here is what I've got.

Baby Shower

Well, I had my first two baby showers and it is so wonderful to know how many people care. We got so many nice things. It was very overwhelming. Thank you to everyone that gave gifts to Isabella. I'm sure they will all go to use. Talk to you soon.

30 weeks

Well, we only have about 10 weeks to go. I feel like it is going to be an eternity. I went to my check-up yesterday and everything was fine. I don't seem to be gaining too much weight over the two weeks between appointments. Let me tell you that really excites me. Her heartbeat was around 147, isn't that a slower heart rate? Boy? I have had two dreams now that it is a boy. Well, I go back in two weeks for another follow-up. I'll keep you all posted.

Her furniture is here and all the bedding so it is time to give our baby girl a place to lay her head. Talk soon.

Ari

finally

Well, after taking an eternity to get my test results back, I passed my 3 hour GTT. Here I come M&M Blizzards. I am truely happy that something went right with this pregnancy. Otherwise our little girl is actively playing in my tummy and growing. I can't wait to meet her in person.

Another hump to get over

Well, today I drank my glucola and headed to the doctor. The doctor checked the baby's heartbeat and everything was fine. I then waited a few more minutes and they pricked my finger. The results came back and I FAILED my glucose test. Ugh, I'm so disappointed. Now I have to go to the hospital and do a 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I sure hope I pass that one. I will keep you all updated.

Moving Right Along!

Legs pushing my belly

3D ultrasound

Her big lips

Had another ultrasound today to look at more development of the heart. They were very pleased at how things were progressing. Our sweet little girl, now at 20w and 5d, was already telling us who was in charge. She would move all over the place when we needed her to be still and wouldn't budge when we needed her to shift. She is growing like a weed. I can't believe how fast they change. We got a couple of 3D ultrasounds. She sure has huge lips. As you can see in one picture she is still pushing on my belly with her legs to make a little more room. After the ultrasound Mark and I went and looked at two daycares. One we liked and the other we probably wouldn't leave Cletus at. Anyway hopefully this process will end real soon. Hope everyone is doing well and we will keep up with the posts. See you all soon.

Mark and Ariann

Never thought I'd like being kicked!

Boy, our baby girl has really started kicking this week. It is a weird feeling. I can't wait until she is big enough and we can really see her poke through. Well, I hope you all had a great week and may the best man win the Super Bowl. Go Cards!
