A Blessed Life

Two down; One to Go!

This week I’m 27 weeks along, which means next week will be the start of my third trimester! Bryan and I just got back from the doctor and everything is looking great. Bryan asked the doctor about natural childbirth and he gave a wonderful answer so we are both very excited about the labor process and how my hospital stay will go. I was given the pleasure of drinking the sugary glucose drink and getting my blood drawn. I also got to have an extra shot, and lucky me . . . it’s wasn’t given in the arm. Fortunately, the staff there are all very nice and made the process as painless as possible.

Bryan and I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. Baby Anaya will be here before we know it. So, we are trying to take time to enjoy this part of parenthood. Bryan got to feel many of the baby’s kicks a few nights ago. He was amazed at how active the little guy is. I think Bryan now sees why I have such a hard time sleeping.

Below I posted a picture that we took today. When I looked at the picture I couldn’t believe how much I’d grown in three short weeks. The baby now weighs around 2 lbs and is close to 14 inches long.

On The Move!

Bryan and I received our first major piece of baby gear this afternoon courtesy of my family. (Thanks everyone; I obviously haven’t used it yet but I already love it!) As soon as the travel system (car seat and stroller) arrived we opened the box and got to work putting everything together. It didn’t take long to put together and figure out how everything works. It’s so cute and I can’t wait to use it.

24 Weeks!

Today I am officially 24 weeks along; according to my June 2nd due date. I was measured last week at the doctor and I was right on track. I took some pictures when I was 22 weeks along and some pictures this afternoon at 24 weeks. I posted them below for anyone who wants to see my progress. There isn’t much of a difference but I’m sure I will be getting much larger in the next few weeks.
