22 weeks

Baby girl and I are doing great.  I had an appointment on Thursday (the 15th) and her heartbeat was at 124.  She has been super active!  Most times when I'm laying down she'll start punching and kicking all over.  It's so much fun.  I think that's my favorite part of pregnancy (although hopefully she won't stretch out for minutes at a time like her brother did!)  I've recently started to break out again. =(  But for now at least it's not as bad as it was when I was pregnant with Emmett!

I have to take the glucose test in 2 weeks.  I'm really dreading it.  I don't want to have to deal with gestational diabetes again, but I'm kind of preparing myself for the worst.  At least it won't be until after Thanksgiving, so I can indulge in ignorance!  ;)  Really though, I am trying to be careful with what kinds of food I'm eating (although why is it that when I'm pregnant I always crave chocolate a TON more than when I'm not?!?) so I can keep my weight gain under control.  I've gained 7 or 8 pounds so far, and my doctor is okay with that.

I've been having quite a bit of round ligament pain this time around (at least, that's what I think it is).  It's annoying, but at least it's not debilitating.

It's amazing how much you take modern medicine for granted until you can't take things like cold medicine anymore...hopefully this sickness clears up before we head down to Utah for Thanksgiving.

I get to have another ultrasound in 6 weeks, and I'm looking forward to it. =)

This picture was taken about 2 weeks ago, when I was 20 weeks along.
