Still Here!

Wow! Where does the time go!? I am already in my 29th week of being pregnant. So sorry for not updating you as often as we would have liked to. So here's a summary of the missing months....

On Dec. 15 we went to the Dr. for our official ultrasound. As most of you know - we are having a girl! Yay! I was excited to know that I didn't have to store the boxes of dollies for much longer! Things went well with that appointment and then we got a phone call telling us that I tested positive for Cystic Fybrosis. This doesn't mean that I have it, but that I am a carrier of it. So the next step was to get Tony tested to see if he is a carrier. And not to leave you hanging much longer - Tony IS NOT a carrier which was very good news. We didn't have the results until after the new year so waiting was just about killing us!

Let's see - we have been to the Dr. twice since that time and everything looks good. I had to do the dreaded Glucose test where you drink a lot of sugar water and then they test your blood for Diabetes. I haven't heard anything from that so I assume no news is good news.

My good friend from school just had her baby this morning and I have to say that I am a bit jealous that she's done teaching for the year. The little kindergarteners are wearing on me and those awful mini chairs are driving me nuts. Not to mention that they bother my siatic nerve ( which already has enough issues of its own). I am tempted to bring in the big ol exercise ball to sit on during the day. I feel as though I am already hobbling around like a big pregnant woman. You know.... the waddle. Some days are better than others! For the most part I feel pretty well. She definitely squirms around a lot in my tummy and seems to get the hiccups every day!

Here's a photo of Tony and I on Christmas Eve. Look what I got from our little one. Notice the bib! :)

Here you go - a preggo picture of me. Please ignore the common outift I have in both pictures. I really wear other pieces of clothing. But hello.....it fits, it's comfy, and it's warm. I debated whether or not to keep on the nice school clothes for the photo but I decided that you all needed to see what I really enjoy wearing these days. :) I know that the sweatshirt doesn't show much but this is what you get for now. We tried to find something to use to compare how big I was getting so.....the ol NE man came back. Kara... that one's for you!

And the Daddy to be. Thanks to Sara and Denja for sharing your family pictures with us as well!

As you can see - we are all doing well and are very excited for our little girl to come! We do have some names picked out but are waiting to see her before we tell the whole world.
