Preggo Update

I had a dr appt on Wednesday. Everything looks good. Finley's heart rate was 144. She was super active of course- when the dr first put the heart monitor on my stomach all you could hear was her jumping around. My belly measured between 26 and 27 weeks. I am 27 weeks (Casey- that means 6 almost 7 months) this past Saturday so that wasn't bad. The only thing is the doctor said I needed to gain more weight. So far, I have gained 14 pounds, which is apparently a little under where I need to be. I eat all the time. My dr suggested eating several meals a day since I have such a high metabolism. Finley is kicking up a storm! Brian gets freaked out when he sees my stomach move. I also had my glucose testing done to see if I have gestational diabetes. They said it would take 1-3 days to receive the results and they would only call if my levels were too high or too low. Today is day three and no phone call! YAY! Brian and I are just busy preparing to move. We have the house on the market ourselves. Pray we can sell it before the baby comes. I have been asked to give a belly update so here it is!

Some Updates

Its' been a while since we've posted. We have been busy welcoming two new little girls to our family- Everleigh Jaye and Hannah Leigh. We have also been busy preparing to move back to Houston. Our house is now listed on the market. Pray that we can sell soon! I am now 6 and a half months along. I have a dr visit this week so hopefully everything goes well. Unfortunately since we are moving, we can not decorate Finley's room too much. We finally have the bedding- thanks Uncle Drew and Aunt Rachael!

First of Finley's Room

We are starting to put together Finley's nursery. We shampooed the carpet yesterday and moved out anything that wasn't going to be hers. Today we tackled putting together the crib. It really wasn't difficult at all- I was the brains of the operation. Now we just have to paint the walls (or should I say Grammie has to paint) and buy the bedding. Our chair is coming in tomorrow- YAY!!! Here is a sneak peek of the crib.

19 week Ultrasound

Today was the 19th week ultrasound. It was also the ultrasound to find out the gender! Much to my surprise (not Brian though)- we are having a little baby GIRL!!!! She is perfectly healthy and super active. She weighs in at a whopping 11 ounces (must take after her dad). Her brain and her heart look good. She is measuring at 5 days ahead of her due date like she has been the whole pregnancy. So we could actually have her in November instead of December.

So after a very long day and even longer night, I am posting the very first post on our new family blog. We are looking forward to Wednesday and finding out if its a boy or girl. For now, the dogs are really worn out and I am too!
