Over half way there!!!!

I have been really bad about updating this blog so I am posting a lot into a couple of posts to get everyone up to speed.

It seems like this pregnancy is flying by so fast, but as everyone keeps telling me that the last month will take forever.  I consider myself lucky on how easy I have had it so far.  I have had no morning sickness, no heartburn, no major cravings besides ice cream and not too much weight gain.  It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that this pregnancy started feeling more like I have a baby in there.  I have been feeling her kick (good kicks, not the fluttering feeling) for the past week.  My belly is now getting bigger and the back pain has started to kick in. Oh and my brain is completely gone and I can hardly talk most of the time, just ask Ryan.

I had my normal OB appointment last Thursday and she said everything is good.  I had gained 4 pounds since the last appointment.  I was a little surprised because Ava has a sweet tooth and she wants ice cream everyday and for lunch she wants In N Out or Culvers.  She is very picky...haha.  Maybe it is just my excuse to eat that kind of food all the time!!!  Let's just say that drumsticks are one of my favorites right now.  I go back in another 4 weeks and do the whole 5 minute appointment again.  It always makes me feel better to hear Ava's heartbeat at the appointments.

So far, little Miss Ava is a very healthy girl and so is her mama.  We just hope and pray that we stay this way and the pregnancy continues to be as perfect as it has been.  Only 4 more short months until we get to meet Ava!!!  Below is a belly picture of me at 21 1/2 weeks.
