6 Months

Well, I am now 6 months along and things are great. Baby girl is moving around (very active) and is measuring properly. I have, unfortunately, gained 28 pounds. With 15 more weeks to go, I don't think I am going to stay under the suggested 25-30 pounds gained. My belly button is non-existent & yes, someone asked me if I am having twins (no I am not).  The morning sickness has subsided somewhat. I went from being sick all day to just being sick most nights. Being able to work from home now has been such a blessing, I don't know how women can work everyday (away from home) while pregnant. We went to the beach last week and I had my first episode of major feet/leg swelling (too much walking). Other than that little hiccup, it was a fun trip.

Gage & Cady started school this week so it has been quiet around the house. I have all of the material needed to make almost everything for the baby's nursery, but no nursery yet-so that will have to wait. Until then, I am entertaining myself with other crafts (bags, quilts, etc). 

Our next doctor's appointment is Sept 4th and I will have the glucose screening. Funny/odd thing: my blood has only been tested once since I started the Lovenox. I guess they just take my word that I am taking the appropriate dosage? I am looking forward to the day when I don't have to inject that medicine anymore. I thought taking the pill form daily was annoying...
