Almost 28 weeks and going strong. Work is really busy...the kind of busy where all I want to do is stumble into the house and sleep at 3:30 p.m. after picking Holden up from daycare.

He wakes up from his daycare nap at about 2:45 p.m.

My only pregnancy craving so far is coconut.

At almost 26 weeks pregnant I am feeling physically really good! I had another appointment with the perinatologist and baby seems to be measuring 2 weeks small at this point.

We don't know if the dates are off or if perhaps something else is going on--but baby is very active so we'll just have to wait and see. I will continue to see the perinatologist for ultrasounds every 4 weeks for now.

Things are settling down here and we are excited for Halloween (and so is Holden!).
Can't wait to get back to see family and friends in November and December!

I want to write something funny and interesting just so you don't think I quit blogging forever...but I can't think of anything to say.

Tired. Pregnant. Happy.

Yesterday I bought my son a pink and purple unicorn (because the kid wanted a unicorn and--shockingly--they don't make unicorns geared toward boys)

Good news! Everything at the perinatologist looked fine. I have to go back in a few weeks for a follow up ultrasound because they couldn't get a very good view of the heart because of the baby's position, but he was not concerned about it.

Big sigh of relief.

Did I mention...it's a GIRL!!

We have to see the perinatologist tomorrow for a more specialized ultrasoud, as my regular OB was a little concerned with the 20 week u/s findings.

Prayers would be appreciated, however the results of the next ultrasound turn out.

Last night I had a dream that I was at a party outside of a farm Kwanset in the fall. I didn't know most of the guests but they were all sitting around in folding camping chairs and talking. I couldn't understand what they were talking about but both my Dad and Paul Newman were there.

"We should really talk like this more often. I have to go, someone in this room is acting like an asshole and it isn't my kid so it's either you or me. Can you say toss-up? TOSS UP! HA!"
