27 weeks

I am now at 27 weeks. I can't believe it! What's even more crazy is there are only 13 weeks to go. Thirteen weeks is such a short amount of time! I have lots to do over the next three months to get ready for this baby.

A week and a half ago I had another doctor's appointment. No exciting news to report. The doctor said the baby's heartbeat was good - 140 beats per minute. My stomach was also measured and I measured right where I should be for 26 weeks, so that was good. My weight is climbing slowly. I gained 2 pounds since my last appointment. My weight gain from my starting weight is only 5 pounds, but I have gained 7-8 pounds overall (I had lost some at the beginning).

I have also been feeling the baby move a lot more. A couple of weeks ago, on September 5, Jason was actually able to put his hand on my belly and feel kicks for the first time too! Last week I woke up in the middle of the night because a kick (or punch or head butt) was so strong. I love feeling our baby move! It is amazing to know that there is a little person inside of me moving and growing.

Three weeks ago was Jason's brother's wedding. I am so excited that I now have a sister! It was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time. And, my dress fit! Here are some photos from the wedding:
