"25 week checkup"

Well here we are wow I can't believe I am 25 weeks now it is insane! I am getting a little nervous for labor. It is my first round I hope by 2nd or 3rd baby I will feel like a pro, you heard me 2nd or 3rd :) truly if you want to really know I would make it four and so would Chris if we don't broke first! Anyways I'm wandering again, I was checked today by the Dr. and she said the heart sounds perfect and everything looks great! I always love hearing that, because you know you always hear horror stories about other people. I need to quit reading on the internet (Jess it is true research on the net is no good haha) So besides that she said he weighs in at a whopping pound and a 1/2 and is almost a foot long. Crazy how big he has gotten from the size of a nail head when I found out I was prego at 6 weeks. She also let us know this is the last visit in February that will be monthly. For all you other mommy friends of mine that read this you all know that appts. start to go to every 2 weeks. Which I'm glad about 4 weeks is to long in between to hear everythng is good and developing fine soooo, that means I'm down hill towards that beautiful thing we call labor after February 16th. I just know that I can do it some how some way :). Any help or encouragement from the mommy friends that read this it would be nice :) thanks all talk to you soon!!

"Prego Excercises With My Sis"


Okay well I did it I finally decided to start excercising now that I'm almost out of my 2nd trimester! My sister had bought me a yoga/pilates pregnancy DVD. I told my sister the week prior that I didn't want to gain more weight than needed, don't get me wrong I know I'm going to gain weight. So far I have only gained 10 pounds being half way through my sixth month, let's just say I'm not complaining :) I just thought I would give some photos of the work out! I have to add this in in though, we were doing so good right feeling all good about ourselves. we didn't want to ruin it when the workout was done, so I made us some sliced cucumbers (good right)! Well then it turned into some ranch to dip with it, then it was a little slice of pizza left over with the ranch dip LOL. It didn't get better it got worse, but I'm sure you got the point hey atleast I worked out :) Anyhow I was proud of myself and I have been using the DVD everyday since Saturday. This Friday or sooner if I'm to ansy I will have 25 week belly pic.

It started out good with the cucumbers :)
