About the baby...

She seems to be doing well. All her measurements are on target and her heart rate is where it should be in the 140's. She loves to do somersaults, although she is starting to run out of room for this activity. She loves it when her daddy kisses her good-bye in the morning. She enjoys it when we read her stories or talk to her. She gets very active when mama has chocolate or sweet tea. She also gets very active when I lay down at night and doesn't like it when I change positions. Since she is a little bigger now, I can feel it when she sinks real low in my abdomen which causes me a great deal of discomfort and makes it hard to breathe so I poke at her until she moves. Tim and I can now feel where she is located, most of the time, and can even see where she is located.

I have gained around 20 pounds now. The weight has been coming on a little slower lately but I'm expecting it to pick up soon since the baby will start really putting on a lot of weight. I've been testing my blood sugar regularly since getting my supplies on Monday and I am testing well. I have also been sleeping much better lately and I am looking forward to sleeping in this weekend and having the energy I need to get a few things done around the house and to do some shopping for our upcoming trip next week. I am really hoping to be able to go to Dothan for the day with my mom next Saturday for my cousin's baby shower.

I will post a baby bump picture next. Stay tuned!
