27 Weeks Dr. Appt!

Just some quick stats:

So far I've gained 16 lbs..which is right in the middle of the normal range, so I'm on track to gain a total of 25-30 total!!
Baby Ruth's heartbeat is in the 140's.
I'm measuring a week ahead, so the baby is growing ahead of schedule...I wonder if she will come a little early!!
She is kicking at me right now...she let's me know she's alive and well all day long and some during the night.  I don't remember feeling Kate as often.  It's nice to get the little reminders of her all day long!

I got a couple "big sister" books for Kate this week...I don't think she understands what is happening in the slightest.  I am so anxious and excited to see our family grow!  I know my girls will be best friends...there is no greater gift than a sibling to grow & share life experiences with.

Here I am today :) 27 weeks!!!

A Picture Perfect Moment

Time flies.  I remember looking at this precious little face for the first time and falling in love like it was yesterday!

I am so happy I have a love for photography and pictures.  I'm not sure who took this one, Chris or my Dad, but it has always been one of my favorite moments captured.
