And....I'm blogging!


So this is my first attempt at keeping up a blog. I'm not sure how much of a success this will be but I figured, I'd give it a try.

So, as everyone knows, I'm pregnant. Steve and I are expecting the arrival of Ariel Melody on/or around July 8th, that's our due date. She'll actually arrive earlier (most likely) since I know I'm going to be induced (thank you Lovenox).

I am almost 25 weeks today (24 weeks and 5 days). So far Ariel has been kicking away. Usually when it's time to eat or when I'm laying down. She can really get going. The last week or so I've been able to see my belly jump when she kicks. It's pretty cool.

So far, we've gotten SEVERAL ultrasounds (I've lost count). We're going to have a baby book full of ultrasound photos. The last two, she's been doing what looks like sucking her thumb! Oh lordy! I have been so adamant about not letting this baby have a pacifier for too long but I realize it's a lot easier to get rid of a paci than it is a thumb. Let's hope she grows out of this habit by the time she arrives to the outside world!

Well, lots to talk about but I don't want to "blog" about everything in one entry so I'll update next week after my next OB appointment. I think that's when I have to go back and do the glucose test. Blegh.

Ta Ta for now!
