24 weeks

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!  Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.  We hit the 24 week mark yesterday, here's the latest update....

Given my medical history and clotting disorder my pregnancy is considered high risk, so we had our first appointment with a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist today.  Part of the visit was another ultrasound with some 3D images!!  Do you think he looks more like a Myers or a McDade??





Our little man continues to measure bigger than average, as high as the 87th percentile for certain measurements and is estimated to weigh in at 1 lb 14 oz.  In fact, he's measuring as if he's a week ahead of schedule.... but the doctors are still sticking with the March 19th due date.  He's been very active lately and put on quite a dance routine during the ultrasound today (Jim claims that he's inherited that from him)!  We also learned that since he's head down right now the pokes and prods to my lower abdomen and bladder, which I thought were kicks, are probably more likely to be karate chops. :)

Here's a belly shot from today as well.  Bending over has started to become a little bit challenging... Before he knows it Jim's going to be tying my shoes for me! ;)

22 weeks


Back from vacation and still growing!  Jim and I spent last weekend working on our registry and trying to finalize plans for the nursery.  We're looking forward to the holidays and getting the chance to share our excitement with our families!

21 weeks



We're past the halfway mark!!  To celebrate Jim joined me in Anaheim for a conference and we spent a few extra days in Laguna Beach.  As you can see from the photos above we took Baby McDade on a gorgeous hike in the hills around Laguna Beach.  We really enjoyed our mini-vacation and while we were out of town my belly really started growing!
