Miss anything? not waking up 2-3 times at night to use the restroom, so much for that getting better in the second trimester!

Gender:GIRL!
Belly Button in or out:  flat
This week:  Little girl gave us some drama. I began having to many contractions despite resting and drinking plenty of water. Had to see the OB and get a Fetal Fibronectin test and a sonogram to measure the length of my cervix. Luckily my FTT came back negative and my cervix was at the proper length. OB thinks I may just have an irritable uterus,but  will continue to keep an eye on things because of my previous history of preterm labor. 
How's daddy doing?:  relieved that all is well with Little Miss
How's K doing?:  K keeps lifting my shirt to look at my belly button and asking " how are we gonna get her out?"
Looking forward to: The glider for her nursery comes in this week!



  Baby girl 24weeks 4 days, but measuring 25weeks 6 days (90% on growth chart).
I know for sure my dates are correct, so she's just a little big for her age. Her father was 10lb 2oz at birth and I was a little over 6lbs. So average we're looking at about 8lbs. K was 7 lbs 3oz but was 2 weeks early. I can't imagine how big he would have been if he had cooked for two more weeks!

This week: We celebrated my husband's birthday. K was so excited for him and insisted  going to the store after school to get  him cupcakes.   
 Got her crib and was able to get an awesome deal on it too! We also bought a glider recliner and ottoman. It's crazy how expensive they are but we decided to bite the bullet and get one. We didn't get one with K and regretted it forever. I also got her a few Christmas outfits. There is a fancy baby boutique next to the furniture store and they had a 60% of sale of Christmas clothing so I couldn't resist. I'm a sucker for smocked clothing!
How's daddy doing?:  still in the nesting mode but for random things, he just had to put up a hat rack in his closet. I think it took him a week to decide what rack he liked best.
 How's K doing?: I'm getting notes from his teacher saying that he's been talking about his "baby sister" to everyone.
Looking forward to: getting her room cleared out of all the junk so that we can start painting!!


Happy 38th!!

Christmas will be here before we know it, right?

This week:  Got a call from the OB telling me that my Thyroid levels continue to be low and that she would like me to go see an endocrinologist just to be on the safe side.  Hyperthyroid  is not as common in pregnancy like hypothyroid is.
