The Reason is Her!

Her name is Edith James.

We are expecting her January 12, 2010. Our little Capricorn.

As of Tuesday - I am in my 24th week/6th month!

According to Baby Center.com she's over a foot long (from head to toe). They like to compare babies to fruit and vegetables. This week she is an Ear of Corn. Though an ear of corn that weighs over a pound!

This week was a mile stone in her tracking - I was keeping a post it tab on my ruler on my desk at work - but alas - she had outgrown the ruler! Maybe I can bring in a yard stick ;)

I've had a pretty easy pregnancy so far - very little morning sickness, a few bouts with heart burn, the occasional irrational sob-fest over a bagel and cream cheese or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and heightened Road Rage.

I hear a lot that I don't look that pregnant - not to sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Good for me and our budget because all of my work clothes still fit and I'm still in my same jeans with the aid of a belly band. Maybe I'll get more pregnant looking soon... sorry to disappoint with my not-so-protruding belly!

Since I first starting being able to feel her move - she has been quite the wiggler! Rob has been able to feel the movements a few times and we did get quite a show last Tuesday when we could actually see the pokes in my belly! Super fun!

We spend a lot of our time these days talking about 'will we do this', 'will we let her do that', 'how are we going to handle this'... and I know for sure that every idea we have now will likely change dramatically when we actually get there...

The first decision we've made that we hope to stick to - We wont be piercing her ears as a baby. I know - shocking to some - but Rob would like for her to be able to make her own decision on that and I agree. It will be interesting to see at what age she starts noticing and develops an interest of her own!

As I remember other fun stuff - I'll try to remember to share them here!
