Family Pictures

I wanted to share some family pictures taken by Kerri Kinker, a girl I went to high school with who is studying photography at Franklin. She is incredibly talented and we loved the way they turned out.

20 week update

We had our 20 week ultrasound/appointment on Friday and everything looked great. Baby was modest and kept her legs crossed through most of the ultrasound, and after hearing that everything else looked healthy and normal, we were eager to confirm that it was indeed a girl in there. After a transvaginal ultrasound to check my cervix (3.4cm - good), she was finally able to get a peek and confirm that we are having a girl. My placenta is anterior like it was with Calvin, which is why I haven't been feeling her kick and move around as much and as strongly as I'd like to at this point. But I get reassuring bumps every once in awhile and I know I'll feel more as she gets bigger and stronger. I have gained 8 pounds so far, but it feels like a lot more than that. This little girl has been a lot less friendly to my body than Calvin was. I feel like I've gained weight everywhere besides my belly, which does not yet look obviously "pregnant." I also discovered some lovely varicose veins in my legs this week. Woo hoo. I'm ready to start showing more so people stop telling me that I don't even look pregnant... Not what you want to hear when you feel huge and none of your clothes fit you anymore! Overall, I am loving being pregnant and I am so happy that we are having a healthy baby in November.
