Trying something new...

So, I have decided to steal a couple of friends ideas and start a blog... this is something completely new to me but I thought it would be a fun way for family and friends to keep up with our crazy, busy life.  I always love reading and keeping up with the few friends that I have that blog and thought I would try it for myself.  Now that we are older and don't get to see each other as much, I thought this would be a nice way for our friends and family to keep up with our lives expectually as we welcome a new addition in a couple of months! 

Elizabeth is growing and getting big!  We had an ultrasound and doctor's appointment on Friday.  It is always comforting to see her on that little screen moving around like crazy!  Not that I don't feel her moving around in there!  Since I am considered a high rish pregnancy with my high blood pressure I had before I got pregnant, I get to see her once a month via ultrasound.  The ultrasound guy told us that it is 110% a girl so we don't have to worry about her coming out with a thingy!  She weighed in at about 3.7lbs and is right on track with everything.  The ultrasound guy said we were textbook and there was nothing to worry about.  After we got done there we saw the doctor and it was pretty routine also.  We heard the heart beat (which came in at 156 beat/minute) and she asked all her normal questions.  Of course I had to ask the doctor about my lack of weight gain... again... she told me that it is normal and that it is ok.  She said as long as the baby is getting bigger that she is not concerned.  I guess that is good for me but I still worry about it.  We go back in two weeks and have another ultrasound in four. 

Greg finally got to feel Lizzie move around this weekend.  I don't know if it is because I am a larger woman but Greg said he could never feel her move around.  She has definitely been a lot more active and gotten a lot stronger.  We were laying in bed on Friday night after a long day full of doctor's appointments and I told him to just lay there with me for a minute and as soon as she started moving, he felt her.  He got so excited and I just couldn't help but laugh!  Sat. night he felt her again and had just as much excitement which makes me feel really good to know that he can finally share something else with me!   

I will update with some pics a little later... just getting used to the blog thing!
