26 weeks and 6 days

There's not a whole lot to post about this week. I posted a picture, the belly is definitely getting BIG. I was told last week that I was going to be as big as a barrel by the end by a complete stranger. I don't understand how people can say things like to someone they don't know. I know it's true, so I didn't get mad! We are going for a 4-D ultrasound on friday, I am curious to see what she looks like. The baby bed came in last thursday, mom and I put it together. Her room is starting to look a little like a nursery. Sometime soon the boys are going to start on her changing table, after that it's smooth sailing.
Hopefully I will have some information to post on the birth of my nephew soon. Leirin is 4 1/2 centimeters dilated. She was having contractions all last weekend but he doesn't want to come out in this cold weather.

25 weeks and 5 days

24 weeks and 5 days

As of yesterday the small fry has figured out how to make me a nervous mess in a short amount of time. She had hardly been moving at all Sunday and Monday. Early Monday afternoon I decided to call my doctor to see what he thought, he told me to eat a snack, drink some cold water and lay on my side for 30 minutes, count how many times she moves in that period of time. She had slightly moved 2 times, they were really light movements. He wanted me to come in just to make sure that everything was alright. I left work, was on my way there, we got to the parking lot and the little turkey starting moving. I couldn't believe it!! I went in, Dr. Zielke listened to her heartbeat, 152 beats/ minute, he even got her to kick the monitor on my belly. I was very relieved to hear her heartbeat. Now I am supposed to do kick counts. Hopefully she doesn't do that to me again. Other than that things have been really good. I am starting to move more slowly and the belly is getting bigger and bigger. Brian and I have an appointment with the daycare on Thursday, we'll see how that goes. I am curious to see what kind of questions Brian has for her. You would think that I would be able to post on here more often being that I am on the computer every evening. One of these days I will actually post on a weekly basis. (don't hold your breath)
