Week 27

- the baby is a size of: an eggplant!

- she measures about 14 inches long and weighs almost 2 1/2 pounds!

- we are at the end of the second trimester!  the third trimester starts on Wednesday and we'll start going to the prenatal appointments every two weeks now.  

- she continues to move around like crazy - rolling and kicking all the time.    

- we had our seventh prenatal appointment and we were happy to hear that everything still looked normal.

- as you can see, we've started getting her bedroom ready.  She finally has a crib, dresser, night stand, and quilt.  We can't wait to start decorating.

Week 23

- the baby is a size of: a grapefruit!

- she measures about 12 inches long and weighs 1 lb. 6 oz!

- we finally felt her kick!  and she's been kicking...and punching...and tumbling like crazy ever since.

- baby girl has been making straight A's - all the tests we've taken have come back normal!

- we had our sixth prenatal appointment and had another ultrasound.  this time we were hoping to get a good view of her face since she was so reluctant to show it last month.  She was, again, facing my back, but she was moving around so much that after some waiting we were able to get a profile pic and finally caught a few shots of that pretty face:

she looks just like her dad!

- and for the nursery update: the painting has been completed and we're ready to start furniture shopping!
