Growing and growing.

Sorry we slacked off the past few weeks with the pictures- I have no real excuse except I had to work on the days we were supposed to take them, or I felt too bloated or I was just plain lazy. I can really see a difference in these though!


After an agonizing week of waiting on results of our AFP screening, we finally got news that they were normal and in fact my numbers were "really, really good". That definitely helps my anxiety some; the big reliever will be seeing a perfect closed spine and abdominal wall on U/S in a few days. Corey is still holding out hope for a boy, and I even dreamt it was a boy a few nights ago but deep down inside I really feel like there is a little girl in there waiting to complete our family.

It is hard to believe that we will have a little baby here for the holidays this year. The good news is that my maternity leave will take me through all three of the big ones and I won't have to work any this year which is REALLY nice! Im glad Corey will be home to enjoy the infant stage; with Lil he was working crazy hours and so sleep deprived on his days off that we were both in "survival mode". Im hoping this time we will really be able to enjoy our time off as a new completed family instead of just trying to make it through it!
