still growing

The baby bump pictures are back!
Although it is more than a baby bump now.

Six months–26 weeks to be exact.
I had another appointment today.
My doctor told me that next week I would be in the third trimester.
Three months until we get to meet this little one.
My appointment today was good.
Uneventful, which we are always thankful for.

I am gaining PLENTY of weight–probably too much.
Although my doctor hasn’t said anything about that yet,
so I think I will just keep eating…
because pregnant ladies can do that right??
And we got to hear that sweet baby heart beat again.
I love that sound.
I will go in for another sonogram at 28 weeks.
Otherwise, so far so good.
Thank you for your continued prayers for our family and Baby Mac!

  • Our Curly Girls - Jess,

    I mostly lurk, but please know your Cora has had a profound impact on my life…and your faith has been so encouraging to me as Christian woman.

    I pray for your family all the time. Sometimes I am driven to pray for you in the midst of the day…I just feel Him nudging me to lift you. You are so wrapped in prayers from everywhere. We all love you!

    I first learned about you from kellyskornerblog when sweet Cora was so sick. God is good and His almighty, sovereign plan is beyond beautiful. I will continue to lift you. You look so wonderful, Jess. Love you from afar!
