Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I'm at Week 21 and let's just say it's going to be a big one. We had our first fetal sonogram and things are looking great. The heart, the spine, the liver, the brain -- everything is on track.

The baby is also off the charts when it comes to weight. It weighs 1 pound and 2 ounces. Yikes! All I kept thinking during that sonogram was, "I hope I have the strength to push this baby out come August."

As for the week, it's been challenging. I was sick for the first time and took some time off. It's strange not being able to take a dose of anything. And this baby has been so good to me that I really can't complain.

Other than that, we are doing great! Oh, I've offically given up my regular pants and into maternity pants. All I have to say: why was I fighting it? :)

Keep your e-mails coming. I look forward to reading all of them.

Hi Everybody.

Week 22 and feeling great!

I felt the baby move this week and it was an incredible experience. It was a slight flutter and I truly didn't know what the heck was going on but when I put two and two together, it all made sense. It's kind of crazy thing because I know I'm pregnant, but it's not until you see a sonogram or feel that baby that you become totally connected again to this wonderful thing happening to you. My husband also got a chance to feel the baby move. He thought it was gas:) LOL.

Other than that, nothing really to report. The baby is getting bigger and my cravings for Carvel Sundaes continue to grow stronger and stronger each day:)

I hope you all have a Happy Easter and Passover.

Hi Everyone,

We're two-thirds of the way there! Week 23 is here and I'm really starting to show. Dr. Steve even commented today on how I just suddenly popped out.

The pregnancy on the whole has been great, but I have to tell you but I am feeling more tired than I ever have. Maybe the baby is getting me used to sleep depravation. LOL

I even went out and bought that body pillow. I'm a stomach sleeper so this is going to be fun trying to readjust. I just started having dreams of my baby saying, "Get me outta here. You are crushing me in your tummy, mommy" :) That is not what I want to do.

Other than that, plans are under way for the baby shower and I recently just registered. That was a mind blowing experienece. There were too many choices but, luckily, I had a great person with me named Jessica at BuyBuy Baby who helped me out.

Take care everyone and have a great weekend.

Hi Everyone,

It's Week 24 and, well, I'm starting to panic a little. So many things have to be crossed off that check list and well I think I've done two :)

I had a slight panic attack yesterday but, luckily, I was able to just get over it mostly because I received this amazing book from Parenting and Babytalk. I've been very apprehensive about reading too much about pregnancy and didn't want to psyche myself out. But when this book came across my desk, I had to pick it up.

The book is from the editors of The Babytalk Insider's Guide to Your Baby's First Year and it truly has been a Godsend. It kind of helps you think about your parenting style, breast feeding and just so many other things that I have not thought about. I recommend it because it doesn't just preach just one technique.

Other than that, things are going on very well. Six months and counting and, boy, is it going by fast. Hope you have a great weekend and I'll talk to you soon.
