24 Weeks/ 6 Months!!

I am officially in my third trimester!  I can't believe how fast time has flown by!  As you can see, I am getting bigger by the day!  I feel like I wake up every morning with a larger belly than the day before.  It's such a neat experience though!

Tom finally felt the baby kick this week!!  That was amazing for me!  I've been feeling her move for a while now, but every time Tom touches my belly she stops moving.  Well, not anymore!!  I think I might have been more excited than he was, but it was still a great moment to share!

I also had an ultrasound on Thursday.  I am getting them often now, which is not a bad thing to see my baby girl so much.  Unfortunately the nurse did not give me any good pictures to post this time.  But, my little one is about a pound and 8 ounces now and growing strong.  I feel great too, but the reason for the frequent ultrasounds is because I apparently have a low-lying placenta.  I will spare the details here other than that.  I am told this is nothing to be alarmed by, but they just want to monitor me often, which means...more ultrasounds.  

You can be praying that my body prepares as it should for the birth of my little one, which is still supposed to happen on June 10.  I would love for my placenta to not be an issue.  As I said before, I feel great, so that is good.   And baby girl is healthy, so that is a blessing as well!!  Tom and I are still so excited and can't wait for her to come!!

You look so good :o) if you think your bellys big now wait till your 40 weeks!
A friend of mine had a low placenta through most of her pregnancy it moved around 30 weeks. I will pray yours does the same.
I'm loving your blog, isn't great to be able to share your pregnancy with everyone this way?

You are soooo cute pregnant Lindsay! You look absolutely wonderful! You wouldnt even know you were pregnant besides the belly, which is great. It will be easier to lose after baby is born. BUt you look GREAT! I cant believe its your 3rd trimester as well, wow time really does fly! I stay updated on you guys via Susan as well. Hope this past weekend went well with the families in town for the YL banquet!
