Baby Practice

I haven't posted for awhile because there really hasn't been much to report. The baby should be around 3 pounds by now and she can kick pretty hard. We're still working on the nursery. I have to admit that little things like stairs or grocery shopping can wear me out, but I'm still feeling pretty good.

On Saturday Jared and I got to babysit our nephew Evan who is now 5 months old. We had a good time and luckily Evan is a really happy, easy baby. Although he is not very patient when he's hungry! Here's a shot of Evan hanging out on our couch. He is constantly smiling.

Third Trimester

We've officially begun the third trimester - I am just over 28 weeks along. Baby Laha is probably about 2.5 pounds and my belly is bigger than ever. At 28 weeks, she could now survive if she was born, with the help of medical technology, of course.

I had a doctor appointment last week and everything seems to be going well. I passed my glucose screening and my belly is measuring right where it should be. The baby's heartbeat was 145-150 which is good. She is very active these days, constantly moving and kicking. My doctor was glad to hear that.

Thanks to Jared, we've made a little progress in the nursery. We're planning to paint soon so we'd better get moving faster! The bedding and wall border arrived (see picture below). The nursery set, called "Chloe", is pink with some brown and bluish green and with flowers. And no, I didn't choose it because my dog's name is Chloe. I can't wait to see what the completed nursery looks like.

Finally, if the Girl Scouts experienced increased sales in Thin Mint cookies this year, I'll admit I am partially responsible. I can't get enough of those things!
