6 months Pregnant!!!

Wow! Things seem to be happening fast now! Other people have felt Baby Daisy move now, including Travis, Julianna, Pam, and my niece Macy! I can also see her moving from the outside! That is crazy to me. The big 20 week vital organs ultrasound went well, results were all normal. She is growing just as she should be. Travis and I were talking about how blessed we are with how good this pregnancy has been. God is good. We talk and sing to Daisy all the time, so she is a very stimulated little baby ;) She is about 1 and 1/2 pounds now, and almost a foot long! In the next couple weeks I have to go take a glucose test, which seems easy. I guess you drink some orange liquid and sit for a while, then they check your blood and sugar levels. The only negative thing hat has happened this last couple of weeks is a mix up at the lab for the SECOND TIME! The first time they didn't take the right blood tests so I had to get them done again. And then we were told the AFP test can be done to check for down syndrome and other defects, which we specifically said we did not want to have done, well when I went to get my second round of blood tests done, they must have done the test anyway without or knowledge or consent and sent us a bill for 167 dollars! And no one is taking responsibility for the mistake so I guess we will have to pay or it :( Bummer! Anyway, we love our baby and cant wait to meet her...o and I gained 8 more pounds! Which kind of freaked me out at first, but the Dr. confirmed it was normal, so to date My Daisy has given me 16 pounds :) Thanks. Haha! Love you all!

Almost to 23 weeks!

I am so behind with this blogging! I wanted to keep up at least weekly! Anyway, well last week we had our big vital organs ultrasound, It was the first ultrasound that I could feel her kicking at the same time as I was watching her on the screen! It was awesome! Daisy was on her best behavior for the ultrasound tech, the lady kept saying how it was nice to have a baby who was still for the measurements :) However, because of her position (head down towards my back) we could not get any "cute" pictures of her profile :( I really need to get on top of taking pictures and posting them, because my belly is growing! Daisy is about a pound now, and 7.5 to 8 inches long. She has eyelids, fingernails, eyebrows, her ears are fully formed now, so Trav and I talk to her all the time, actually Travis was humming to her on Monday right next to my belly and she kicked him in the face! Haha! Last night we fell asleep with both our hands on my belly feeling her cute little movements. :) Hope all is well!
