I've hit the five month mark!

Woo! I'm half way through my pregnancy (give or take a few)!!

How your baby's growing:

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

See what your baby looks like this week.


...and less than two weeks until my ultrasound. I am so ready. My friend Allison and I perused the baby section at Target a few days ago and I found the CUTEST crib bedding set, if Baby #2 is a girl. It has ladybugs on it!! :o)

I don't have much time to update today, but I just want to say that I'm doing ok. I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days (really nauseated) and had to leave work for about 4 hours yesterday so that I could get my Reglan filled at Schnucks. I was feeling pukey this morning, took a pill, then I got really gassy and I can't burp. I feel that if I burp I'm going to puke. Ug! I just want to feel good for awhile!!

I have to get back to work now! I promise a longer update later!!
