It's 3 of us and HIM: And the countdown begins

Well folks, it's time. Time to begin the countdown. The countdown to more room in my stomach for my organs. The countdown to nights of less peeing and more sleeping. (I know, I know, not much more) The countdown to getting rid of the body pillow in the middle of the bed that has lovingly been named "The Berlin Wall". And finally, the countdown the soft baby feet, freshly cleaned baby clothes and Johnson's baby lotion. I am tickled.

Now, on with the update. Wesley, Mom (Mimi) and I went in for my 24 weeks appointment on Tuesday of this past week. The doctor was running a little bit late but only because someone decided to have a baby right at my appointment time. The nerve. When we got in to see Dr. Murray we discovered that I have gained 4 more lbs! I'm still 6 lbs shy of my pre-pregnancy weight, which is really unbelievable considering how much Wes has grown. (note the pictures below) I'm sure that weight will come sooner rather than later, but right now I'm enjoying being smaller every where else but my tummy. Dr. M measured my tummy for the first time and it was exactly 24.5 centimeters which is perfect because I was 24.5 weeks along! (the size of your tummy in inches is supposed to match the number of weeks you are:) We got to hear his sweet heartbeat which came in at 140 beats per minute. Perfect for a healthy little boy. My blood pressure was 100/70 which the Doc says is awesome. SO all in all, other than some leg cramps, lack of room for food and a VERY rambunctious child...I am AMAZINGLY HAPPY.

Here are a few of tonight's photos. These were take at 25.2 weeks. Three weeks after the last pics. I can definitely see a difference in size. More in shape. Funny how that happens:) By the way, we promise, it's only one baby. I'm just short. Less room to distribute the baby weight. Thanks for being so supportive! We love you all!
