27 Weeks!

Khloe is as "hefty" as a cauliflower these days! She should be about 2 pounds and 14 1/2 inches long.

She has an active brain and her lungs are developing more. She even sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. I have not felt any hiccups yet, but she might have them soon.

Everything is going pretty well, but I found out today that I didn't pass the Glucose test, so now I have to take another test to determine if I have gestational diabetes. I will take the test next week, so please keep that in your prayers. I really hope I don't, but I guess it could be a lot worse.

That is all the big news for now. The Olsons are going on a trip to Mammoth this weekend. We rented a house and we are all ready for a relaxing time. Yahoo! I heard there might be snow up there, but I am not sure. Either way, we will have a great time!

26 Weeks

26 Weeks (6 1/2 months). It seems like time is flying, and I have been lame about posting. Things are going really well, and November is going to be a crazy busy month. Khloe is as long an an English Hothouse Cucumber these days (14 inches) and weighing in at 1 and 2/3 pounds.

I can feel her moving all the time now, and Eric has finally been awake enough at the right time to feel her too. It seems more like there really is a baby in there! I read on a website that other could listen to my belly and hear her heartbeat, so we tried it, and while we both felt kind of silly at first, Eric thinks he can hear it. He said there is a lot of noise in there, so I hope that is normal. I have also felt Braxton-Hicks contractions a few times, and it is weird!

I have been working more, and I have finally experienced life as a Middle School substitute. And I thought they had attitudes in high school! Yikes. I was thinking maybe Kelcey would want to have my middle schooler when the time comes...I think she would do a good job. Just kidding.

I hope you are all doing well. Thank for reading the post.

25 Weeks

One and a half pounds and 13 1/2 inches long! As heavy as an average rutabaga.

National Chocolate Day

Need I say anymore about today?

Six Months! (24 Weeks)

Ok, at least this post is in the right week. The ultrasound picture is not that good, but I am posting it anyway. It is a picture of her face in the right side of the frame.

Everything was good at our appointment; the doctor even said that Khloe would have a good chance of surviving if she was born prematurely. Of course we are hoping that she is not born yet, but it is a good thought to know that if she was, she would have a better chance at being healthy.

She is almost a foot long, about the length of an ear of corn. She is filling out and getting more proportionate. Her brain is quickly developing and so are her taste buds. Her lung branches are developing and her skin is still transparent, but that will begin to change soon.

I had a test for gestational diabetes and anemia this week; so please pray for the results of these tests. They are routinely done at this point, so I am not really worried.

I have been substitute teaching more, and I finally had a class that was stinky. I was bummed because it was first grade, and I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, I knew that day would come, so hopefully the next time will be better and I can be back on track with fun days. At least I am keeping busy, and things could always be worse. I am pretty blessed.

Eric is working days, and still enjoying it, so I am very happy about that. He is taking up golf a little bit and having fun with that. Thanks to Grandpa Gwin he has a set of golf clubs now. Fun times. He had his 24th birthday last week, so now we are only 1 year apart, and I am not such a cradle robber for this one month until my next birthday.

I guess that is all for now. Thanks for checking up on our family!
