Thanks, Kari

Today as we were unloading the dishwasher:

Kari-- "Mommy, you have to grow bigger so baby Aubrey grows healthy and strong, right?
Me--"Right."
Kari--"Well, Mommy, don't grow too big, ok? Because then you wouldn't fit in the kitchen. "

24 Weeks

Had my regular every-4-week appointment today. Everything's great. Aubrey was moving all around when the doctor was trying to listen to her heartbeat. I gained another 4 lbs, same as last month. It seems that I'm on track to gain not as much as I did with Kari but more than I gained with Joel. Oh well!

Bumping around in there

Feeling good these days. However, by the end of each day I move like an old person. The joints and ligaments in my hips don't feel so good, and various ordinary movements send shooting pains down my legs. I don't really mind those things so much, though, because I'd rather have that than feel sick and miserable all the time. Baby Aubrey Ann (I think that might be her name--still no official decision on a middle name, but I'm leaning that way) is kicking and moving a lot these days. I started working on her quilt, so she'd better be a girl!
