24 Weeks Pregnant

Hello Everyone,

Happy Spring although I haven't been enjoying it much due to my eyes watering and sneezing constantly. But I think I will make it! Tony and I went to see Dr. Bowen today and we got to hear the heartbeat again which is always reassuring. My glucose test was perfect and I wasn't anemic this time which is a change but all good things! It was a pretty easy going appointment which we always like to have! They gave me my registration packet for the hospital and I laughed. I think sometimes I forget I actually have to push this child out. I also signed Gracie and Tony up for a Big Brothers & Big Sisters class in June which should be really fun for them. They get to take a doll and learn how to swaddle it and diaper it! I will be sure to take plenty of pictures of Tony putting a diaper on anything. That will be a site I'm sure.

LOL, Terri

We enjoyed a beautiful day at the Cincinnati Zoo with Gracie's Kindergarten class. The tulips were all at full bloom so we took advantage of that! We were able to see all the animals that were out and we also went to the petting zoo. Gracie and Tony had a lot of fun petting the billy goats. I think the new baby will love doing all these fun things the kids and I get to do while Daddy is busy at work. Poor Daddy, we did take a lot of pictures for him and we are planning to go back sometime when he can join us since he likes the gorillas and polar bears so much!

Week # 21 Hello Everyone Well we have reached our halfway marker and went to the doctor over the Easter holiday we left the sex a big surprise but saw the little piggies and hands. We were able to see the profile and the face and saw the baby moving all over the place which Gracie really enjoyed although I think she likes feeling and kissing mommy's belly a little more right now. We have been discussing names a lot right now our girl name is Baylee Michelle and the boy name is still up in the air but we like Frankie, Johnny, Joey, Casey, and Charlie all with the middle name Kenneth. The boy name may be one of those delivery room decisions. We will have to wait and see. At the ultrasound the tech said the baby weighed 14.5 ounces and was 10.5 inches long which at the time put my due date at August 22nd but we are still keeping it the original date of August 27th just in time for Labor Day! And if this one holds true to the other two I will be delivering on a Sunday, my kids tend to favor that day for some reason which is fine with me! LOL Terri
