Week 17 : Onion

Wow this pregnancy is flying by!!!! ARE WE THERE ALREADY???

Baby's now the size of an onion!
Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. His umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes now feature one-of-a-kind prints.


This week:
you know i've done this a few times so i'm ready to get on with this pregnancy and have this little onion!! My pregnancy with madison was PERFECT, so perfect that I knew without a shadow of a doubt I would HAVE another baby!! I knew thought that going into pregnancy number 2 (my sweet little Emma) wouldn't be as perfect as the first... in fact most of my pregnancy i worried. Worried that i would lose her. I had my gallbladder removed at 20 weeks. and when they told me that was a risk to the pregnancy it was really scary!! I mean really scary! That's major surgery! Before i had the surgery I had to name her just in case! it made me feel closer to her. So the rest of the pregnancy i worried that something would happen to her and i wouldn't get her in my arms.

As gross as this image is, it was very comforting to see her in my uterus!! this picture is from my surgery and the dr. took this picture just for me. He said he could see her kicking around in there the whole 30 mins that it took to remove my gallbladder :)

But pregnancy #3 has been SOOOO different... I had morning sickness, which I NEVER had with the girls! and I have had congestion for about 7 weeks now!! which is very annoying.. i can never breath!!  I am finally to the point where i feel pregnant.. i haven't really felt much movement yet :( hoping it will happen soon!!  Two weeks from tomorrow we find out if we will be bringing home a 3rd girl or our first and only boy!! So excited, it can't get her soon enough. (boy maybe??)

We have 5 months to go and there is so much to do. We put an offer on a house today in Greensboro but I'm don't have a good feeling about it. they are asking entirely too much for the house and we offered them about $20, 000 off there asking price. But we had to start somewhere. I hope and pray that this works out, but know that God will provide for our growing family. If this is the house that we are suppose to be in then in will happen. or we may have to keep looking! Whatever the case may be we will be bringing baby #3 into our family very soon!!

heres a peak at the house!

I'm not going to make a big deal about it b/c i don't want to get my hopes up!
