Almost 8 months along!

Our last appointment was the 18th. Annabelle is measuring perfectly. Some days she is head down, others butt down. She is very active, especially when I sit down. She loves her daddy's voice and touch, she just knows when it is his hand, she goes nuts!
I have gained about 30lbs so far and I am ready for this to be ending. After seeing her it is hard to imagine not holding her. We only have 4-9 weeks left so we will see.
We are having her baby shower on May 13, I am sure it will be lots of fun! We have just about everything but diapers and wipes.
The only new thing that has come up is my pubic bone is starting to separate, that what they think anyway, I am getting sharp shooting pains through my cervix, OUCH!!! and it lasts for 5 to 10 minutes each time it acts up! They said it gets worse the farther along you get and that it can be up to 6 months after the birth to go back to normal. Always something with me huh?
We are getting the garden and yard all cleaned up and gearing up for our yard sale in June. Busy busy! I have two weeks off of college and start back up on the 8th.
Well off to eat and getting busy planting the strawberries and sweet pea flowers.
Lots of love!

How beautiful she is!

Well today was the most wonderful day for the pregnancy! Annabelle Delores, is just perfect. We got to see her in 4 dimensional view. She was not very cooperative of course, being female and all, but all in all what a wonderful opportunity that we had. She has all of her fingers and toes, she loves putting her toes on her face and her arm around her head to lay on. Seems to us that her favorite spot is my right hip. She snuggled inside there and would barely peek out. She is very healthy and seems to be on track for a June Birth! Only 10 more weeks to go!

Had our cervix checked on Tuesday the 4th, still 4 cm long and closed! Perfect for no complications!

Well trying to rest and get through college, very hard to focus on your work when your baby is so active!

Love to all!
God Bless!
