Summer Update

Whoa! I don't know what happened to the month of July! Fortunately we've seen most of you and this blog is only supplemental to firsthand accounts of our little lady. And (ok, I'll say it) I have been a little bit of a wimp this past month. I admit it! I will try harder to do less complaining and more blogging.

Nick and I went to my 7-month check up today. Calamity Jane is doing great. She weighs about 2.5 lbs. now and will grow to 4.5 lbs. this month. My lab results were perfect; no gestational diabetes or iron deficiencies. Her heartbeat was strong and she is still moving around like a wild woman. Some babies start moving "into position" this month, meaning they move their heads down for the duration of the pregnancy. Not this kid. Her head is still resting on my ribcage. She is not ready to hold still for any length of time. It's so funny how her personality is already developing. I can't help but love her little wild side.

I got some antibiotics for my summer cold/sinus infection and plan on getting some rest this week. I hope I start feeling better. This past month has definitely been the most challenging physically.

Nick has been taking such good care of us girls. I don't know what I would do without him. He makes sure we have plenty of water, food, foot rubs, and love. He is going to be an amazing daddy.

Summer has been extra fun as we've been able to spend so much time with our families. Thank you all for your love and support. We love you all so much!
