Biggerness

We just had our monthly check-up appointment at the doctor's office. Everything seems to be progressing normally. Jimi's heart rate has slowed a little from 150 bpm to 140 bpm. I'm measuring a little big already, 27 weeks.... and I'm 26 weeks. I have a feeling he's going to be a big boy. My belly button has been sticking out for over a month now.

We got to schedule the rest of our appointments for the duration of the pregnancy... including one after my due date (just in case), James is really hoping it doesn't go that far though.

James' last day of school is tomorrow. He's more than excited to be done with his first year of teaching.

24 Weeks

I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I'm already at 24 weeks. It seems like not long ago I was only 12 weeks and wishing that I looked pregnant to other people.... now I don't think there is any doubt about whether or not I'm pregnant or just packing on the pounds...

I was pushing forwarded a little bit.... but not much. James really needs to stop taking these at an upward angle. Not flattering.

Everything is still going well. Usually Jimi (we're still working on deciding on a nickname) waits until I'm awake to start kicking. However, last night I was jolted awake by a series of kicks to the ribs from 3am-4am. That combined with multiple trips to the bathroom has left me quite tired. I'm not sure why everyone says it's just getting me ready for when the baby is born..... shouldn't I be getting rest now for when the baby is born? Oh well, I know I will survive. Thank goodness for naps.

James and I went to Folklife for the first time over memorial day weekend. It seemed to be just like Bite of Seattle but with a lot more hippies. We had a good time and the rain managed to hold off the entire time we were there.

We found this awesome hat while we were there. I think James should have gotten it.
