been so long!

It's been a while since I've posted. Things are going great, just really busy! I still need to get a sonogram picture up and I plan to scan some this weekend. We've gotten a lot done though which is really exciting. We have finished the registry, painted the nursery and gotten up the chair rail, ordered the furniture and picked a name! Oh, and my shower is all planned for the 11th of November. We are also signed up for our classes (lamaze, breastfeeding and hospital tour). Phew!

I had a follow up sonogram and the cyst on the baby's brain is now gone! I was really relieved. They said they are common, but it still had me worried. The placenta has moved a bit and is now only marginal and not complete. This is a good sign and we are hopeful it will be totally out of the way by the next sono. I'm still on pelvic rest and exercise restriction, but I'm pretty used to it at this point.

I'm 24 weeks and have only gained 8 lbs so far...I'm pretty proud of this one!

My DH has been wonderful and has not let me lift a finger. It's almost to the point of annoyance, and I asked him to start letting me do more. He finally admitted that he has some major fears of something going wrong still. I feel bad because I didn't realize this was still weighing on him so heavily. It is good to know though because now I can be a bit more sensitive to him and his needs. It really is easy to get wrapped up in yourself when you are pregnant!

I find it hard to beleive in just a few short months I'll be holding a baby in my arms. It does feel more and more real each day though and I just can't wait!
