Virginia Lynn Update!

23 Weeks
October 9, 2012

Only 17 more weeks left! This pregnancy has definitely flown by! I cannot believe we are down to the "teen countdown", it's hard to believe at Christmas we will be down to 6 weeks!

Baby girl is kicking like CRAZY! Josh THINKS he felt her a few nights ago, but he is not being very patient. It is starting to be harder thumps and more often, so maybe it won't be long!

In my first trimester I lost 12 pounds, I have now gained 7 of those pounds back. So I am still not quite to my starting weight. My doctor is not worried, so neither am I! I guess that just means it won't take long and I'll be gaining more. :|

Virginia Lynn is the size of an ear of corn! Which puts her at 8.5 inches and 1.5 pounds. At my appointment on Thursday the US Tech said she was very long. :)

Thursday turned out to be an exciting day for this Momma! Here is a little picture & video of the ultra sound.

We were able to go to Babies R Us, so I could finish my registry! I started it online but needed to go in the store to do some of the other stuff. I was also planning on ordering Virginia Lynn's crib. The week before a lady told me that it was discontinued and I probably couldn't get the one I wanted. HA! Thursday I had a different lady and she told me the other girl didn't know what she was talking about. I was able to bring home the crib that very day! Here is a peak at her Daddy putting it up and the finished product! (with her pretty purple rug!)  

We also made a trip to the fabric store where we finished buying the rest of the material for Virginia Lynn's bedding! 

Momma is making her bedding, here is the quilt she is working on! :) 

We bought a simple white dresser to go in her room as well, but I don't have a picture of it. I found this cute corner changing table that Josh is going to build. We found it on Pinterest, this is the picture off of there...

I have been feeling pretty good for the most part. I am having the normal heart burn/indigestion that comes with pregnancy, but nothing too bad that I can't handle. I've had some lower back pain as well, but my doctor gave me some exercises to help with that. 

We are so excited about our little girl making her entrance!
