24 Weeks: Football Status!

I am 24 weeks pregnant today. That means that if the baby were born now she'd have a chance of surviving. Not a good chance, but a chance nonetheless. So, today is a big milestone. Baby girl #2's Daddy should be very pleased - she is now the size of a football! She is 13.5 inches tall and weighs about 1 pound and 5 ounces. She is starting to put on some fat and fill out more. She is very active and always starts up with her exercise routine at bedtime just like her big sister Jenna used to do!

This is a picture of how everything should look right now:


I am getting leg cramps and terrible stabbing pains in my tummy. Sometimes I cannot even move and am almost in tears. I am not even out of this trimester and I feel like I am in the last trimester! (Soon enough). Other than that though I am doing well. Jenna tries her best to keep me busy.

Jenna is still talking to the baby and about the baby. She and I took a shower together the other morning and Jenna washed my tummy and said, "I wash _____." She was so proud of herself.

A Jenna-ism for you:
"Missa-bee-havin" is how Jenna says misbehaving. Too funny.
