23 weeks!




My my my...how time flies! I am 23 weeks and counting! :-)

Little Catherine Ann is growing well...as of March 6th, she weighs in at 1 lb! I still haven't gained any weight...but I know that is about to change! My appetite has finally picked up and I can tell I'm eating for two! I'm not usually the healthiest eater...but I am trying to eating more fruits and veggies rather than my sweets that I usually can't life without! :-)

Also, just wanted to give an update on Dad - he had 24lbs of fluid removed from his chest and belly today. After they were done...the amount of relief he felt was recognized immediately. He hasn't been able to lay on his back for months now...but once the fluid was removed, he was able to lay on his back for a couple hours! We really see things starting to look up from here...hopefully no more hospital stints once we get him taken care of his time! :-) Thank you for all of your prayers! Each and every one is greatly appreciated...God is good!

20 Weeks!




Time is flyin' by! These pictures were taken when I was 20 weeks! Halfway there!! :-)

The 2nd trimester has definitely been a lot easier than the first! I feel MUCH better and feel like I have a lot more energy. (It probably helps that I am able to sleep in until noon everyday! :-) ) Catherine Ann has been very active lately. It actually feels like she has turned my belly into a punching bag! But I love it - because I know she is doing well! Thus far, pregnancy has been very nice to me. I haven't gained any weight...but I know it's coming! Any day now I am going to start packing on the pounds and regret jinxing myself by saying that I haven't gained any. haha!
