26 (almost 27) weeks

Wow...it's already been almost 6 weeks since I last updated. We are now closing in on the third trimester. Along with the third trimester comes bi-weekly visits to the doctor (instead of monthly), swelling of the legs and feet, a return of the exhaustion from the first trimester and an expanding mid-section. :) I have been very lucky so far in this pregnancy to be on the smaller side. I still haven't "popped" as they say, but I am waiting since I know it's going to happen here one day soon.

I just had the 26 week ultrasound done and our baby girl is growing very nicely. The technician said that at the rate she's going, we are likely to have an 8 lb. baby on our hands. She said that our little girl is all belly right now, weighing in at a whopping 2lbs 4 oz. She even had a full stomach, which you can see in the ultrasound pictures. Derek couldn't go to this appointment so my mom and sister came along. They had a great time and kept commenting on which features of theirs the baby had. Haha :) This time I didn't drink any OJ to wake her up, but she was wide awake on her own and was even kicking the technician. Here's a great shot of her foot as she kicked:

Here are the others from the ultrasound:

If you look closely at the this next one, you'll see what looks like a black circle in the middle of her belly. That's her full stomach!

We are down to almost 90 days, which may seem like a lot, but as stores start to stock Christmas items, it doesn't seem that far away anymore! I will post again soon as I'm having more and more appointments now to fill you in on. Hope you are all well!
