The End of Week 26

Tomorrow starts week 27 - so today is the completion of week 26. Wow - Jennifer is only 14 weeks away from the due date! Time has really flown by. It seems like her belly gets bigger almost daily. It is SO cute!

We had a doctor appointment this past Thursday. Everything is going super! If you'll recall, she lost several pounds at the beginning of her pregnancy. She has gained all of those back plus 1/2 pound more. The doctor would like her to gain a little more, but she's happy with what Jennifer has gained so far. Also, she had a bit of a blood pressure problem and was started on medication. Her medication is doing the job and her blood pressure has been perfect! Continue to pray for her - we know that before too much longer, the blood pressure is supposed to rise again. We just need to pray it doesn't rise too much!

Jennifer has been feeling Madilyn move a lot....and, FINALLY, so have I! It is so incredible! Madi sure is an active little girl! She often stops kicking when I try to feel her, but I have tricked her a couple of times and felt her anyway. :)

On a separate note: We have our Christmas decorations up - all except the ornaments on the tree. We'll post pictures when that's done.

If you view the blog and if you don't mind, please leave comments. We'd love to hear from you!

Later!

Yay! Jennifer and Andy. I know you guys are excited, and so are we. We can't wait to meet Madi! Everything is going to turn out just fine.

I like the room and Jennifer looks great! After you finish decorating the tree, come and decorate my house for Christmas!
