The Eye of the Storm

I am now 24 weeks, and feel like I am in "the eye of the storm". I am passed the miserably sick 1st trimester and enjoying the 2nd before I head into the miserably large 3rd trimester. I stopped being sick right at 13 weeks, and my energy came back around that point too. Before that, however, I learned that throwing up anything with milk is nasty, and throwing up in bed is not fun.

Baby Penny is growing well, and the doctor says she's strong for her age. She is already taking after her mother and showing her true colors. When I spoon Scott, she kicks him in the back. When he puts his mouth on my tummy to talk to her, she kicks him in the mouth. The doctor was trying to listen to her heartbeat 2 days ago, and she started kicking the doppler. We will have our hands full for sure! She is very active and also gets the hiccups a lot.

When we got our last ultrasound they saw something that they wanted to have checked out, so we got sent in for a level 3 anatomy scan, which just means another ultrasound with a radiologist and a doctor looking at it that they can charge you a lot of money for. Everything was fine with her, but it was kinda fun because we got another look at her. Here are a couple of shots from that:


In that last one she is sucking her finger, again, just like her mom. Oh yay. We are very excited for her to join us in a few months and already love her so much!
