27.5 weeks

I had my 27.5 week appointment today and I'm happy to report that Miss Marlee Claire is doing great and measuring perfectly! She's a little over 2 pounds now and her heart beat was 155! I also had to have that nasty glucose test to test for gestational diabetes. Now I have to wait until next week to hear the results but I know that no matter what, God is in control and i have nothing to worry about! I also had my dreaded Rhogam injection which literally stung like 10 bee stings but anything is worth it for out little girl! I will post new photos soon of my belly! ( How much more can I possibly grow??) We are heading to the beach next weekend for some much needed R&R! Yeah!

Virginia

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, but Jason and I have been super busy. Last weekend we made a long trip up to Virginia for our niece's 3rd birthday! We all had a lot of fun and Harley had fun playing with Nanny and Pa! It gets harder to leave everytime and I just wish that Jason's family was closer, especially since Marlee will be here in August! Speaking of Marlee, her room is coming right along. Jason finished painting a couple weeks ago and her crib set and bumper set arrived this week! yeah! We plan on putting everything together this weekend but there is still a lot to do before her arrival! Marlee is definitely making her self known. If I didnt know any better I would swear that she was trying to claw her way out! I remember feeling that first real kick around 19 weeks but this is something brand new that she has started. Jason and I love to sit back and watch my belly move while she is squirming! So much fun and yet strange at the same time!

23 weeks already??

Why is it that sometimes I feel like this pregnancy is going so slowly, but then I start to think about all I have to do and that I really don't have much time left! Jason and I are planning on starting Marlee's nursery this weekend and we're still waiting on her crib set to come in! (which should be any day now!) Also my wonderful Mommy's birthday is this weekend! Being pregnant has given me such an even greater appreciation for my mother and all she has done for me! I just pray that God will give me the patience and love that my mom had with all 3 of us! We had Marlee's last ultrasound on Tuesday and mom got to go with me because Jason was out of town! Marlee was acting up as usual and would not sit still for the ultrasound tech! She was also very shy and did not want to show her face, but when she did, it was just beautiful! She looks just like her mommy, or so I think! haha. Here are a couple pictures from the ultrasound and my ever growing belly!
