Well, the wiggle worm is getting bigger and bigger! We went in for our 24 week check-up today. Everything looks good:) Charlie's heartbeat is strong, 160bpm, my blood pressure is great, measuring just right for where I am in the pregnancy, VERY happy. Charlie has been moving like crazy and even the nurse practitioner said he was a very active baby! (She said it was probably due to the breakfast of Reece's Puffs that I ate, but I let her know he's pretty active normally anyway!)
I'm feeling pretty good these days, although I am a little sleepy from not sleeping through the night like I usually do. Little man is waking me up more...I guess I would kick me too if someone rolled over and squashed me...haha!
We just got back from the beach (no worries, as soon as I finish editing photos, I'm definitely posting a million!) and while it wasn't "relaxing" per-say, it was just what I needed. I absolutely LOVE my family and being with them was amazing. I was up most mornings with my nephews around 6:30, and boy did I love it! I guess God is getting me ready for mommy-hood! I can't believe how much my nephews have grown and how much they're talking now. I love that they're making me laugh and can hold conversations with me.... I can't believe my own little munch will be doing that soon enough. Kinda makes me sad already... Eden is growing up too! She is starting to say my name, which I love!!! It's great to be called Tia, because that sound isn't too hard for little babies to say. Much easier than the "G" sound in Ghee Ghee (which is what my mom is being called)...hahaha!! I had so much fun taking my little kids pictures this past week. Sometimes it's annoying to be the girl with the camera, but when I look back on all those memories that I got to freeze in time, well, I'm so blessed. I LOVE being that girl.
I had a pregnancy first last week as well....my feet and ankles were swollen for 2 days! Man, that was weird..... I guess I wasn't really used to being on my feet chasing kids or being in the hot sun all day. I'm really glad they went down finally:)
Shawn and I are doing really well. We're patiently waiting, or just waiting, to hear where we're going to be placed in August. We thought it would be at the end of May, but here we are and no word yet. Please pray that we would find out soon!! I need to find a doctor and a hospital so this munch doesn't have to be born in our car:) Shawn has started his last semester- did you read that? LAST SEMESTER OF SCHOOL. I can't believe it's already here. I'm going to have a hubs with a MASTERS DEGREE in a couple of months!! Praise the Lord. He's done so well this year with all the stress of being a student, a husband, and a soon-to-be daddy. I'm so proud of him- and very blessed to call him my own. Charlie is a blessed little man.
Our garden has started to produce! We had our first harvest two days ago and have been enjoying squash and zucchini. I can't wait to have our Roma tomatoes turn red and our peppers pop up so I can make some salsa and pico de gallo! oh yummmmmmmm:) A big thanks to my grandmothers for all of the encouragement and tips! We are so thankful that our hard work has paid off. After all, we sow the seeds, but the Lord produces the harvest!
Anyway, thanks for checking in on us. I guess I'll post a pregnancy pic soon...I'm shying away from the camera these days, but I guess I should document a little. Beach pics of all the littles are on their way!!
Love you all,
Jac and Charlie
