Another Week Gone By

Well we have officially made it to 27 weeks! One more week and we will have made it to our next milestone. It has been great to think of this pregnancy in "milestones" especially with me just sitting here all day for the past 12 weeks. It is hard to believe that 3 weeks ago we were sitting in Labor and Delivery thinking that Alexis could arrive at any day. And although she can still arrive at any day...making it 3 more weeks definitely has felt really good! It just goes to show that bedrest, the pessary, and the medicines really have helped. She is holding tight and growing more and more every day!

Alexis has been very active which is really good. She loves to kick me and sit on my bladder. And as annoying as the whole sitting on my bladder thing can be...I am loving every minute of it. It just means she is still in my belly growing strong! I have been working on knitting little hats for our little girl recently. I am using leftover yarn from the blankets I have made. I made a solid purple one and now decided to get creative and am making a purple and white striped one. I have never made hats before nor have I ever used double pointed needles before so this was quite the adventure!! Here is what it looks like:

I have ordered some new colorful yarn from AC Moore online (because I can't go there and pick some out in person). The new yarn will make really pretty colorful hats! I cannot wait for it to arrive! Alexis will have the warmest little head in Virginia :) And she will be cute too!

So it is hard to believe that we will have a little girl in 10 weeks or less! In 70 days we will have a crying, pooping, sleeping little girl in this house. It is so amazing and scary all at the same time. Being a first time mom I am a little scared...but I am excited at the same time. I cannot wait to hold her in my arms. I cannot wait to see who she looks like...what color eyes she will have...what color her hair is. Let the countdown begin!!!!
