25 weeks down, 15 to go!

Harrison is getting bigger and stronger every day!  My weekly pregnancy email said he is about the size of a rutabaga.  (I didn’t even know what a rutabaga was.  Thanks to Google, I now do.)  Currently, he is about 13.5 inches long and 1.5lbs.  Skinny lil’ thing!  No worries though, he will be gaining that cute baby chub in the coming weeks.  He is moving around so much these days, and his kicks can be pretty strong.  The other night Tim was talking to him, and he kicked him right in the ear.  I thought it was pretty funny  

As for me, I’m feeling great!  (Aside from the cough and cold I’ve developed the last few days.)  I had an appointment yesterday, everything is right on track.  Tim was out of town for work, so I took my mom with me.  She was able to hear Harrison’s heartbeat for the first time.  My next appointment will be at the beginning of May.  It will consist of a routine checkup and gestational diabetes screening.  I’m not looking forward to drinking the sugary, orange drink before the appointment.  It doesn’t look very appealing.

Friday, we are having an optional 3D/4D ultrasound.  This appointment will last 30-60 minutes.  As long as Harrison cooperates, we will get a CD of pictures and a DVD.  Both my mom and Tim’s mom are getting to share this experience with us.  I can’t wait to see our lil’ man!

We ordered Harrison’s furniture yesterday.  JCPenney was having a huge sale, so we took advantage.  It will be here in a few weeks!  My mom helped me clean stuff out of our office this afternoon, so it’s one step closer to becoming the nursery.

More to come after our ultrasound Friday!
