About Me

Hello! My name is Rhonda and I am married to a wonderful man, Michael. I can say he is truly my best friend. We were married on April 12, 2008. He has a son (my step-son), Josh who is 15 years old. We are blessed with such wonderful family and friends. We created this blog so that we could post activities and pictures about us. We look forward to sharing these things with you. We had a sweet baby girl, Ella Kate, on June 19, 2012.

26 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  26 weeks
     
What’s developing:   Ella Kate now measures approximately 14 inches from head to heel, the length of an English hothouse cucumber.  Her weight is about 1 2/3  pounds.  The network of nerves in her ears is better developed and more sensitive than before.  She is inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid.  These so called breathing movements are essential for the development of the lungs.  These are also good practices when she is born and takes her first gulp of air.  

Size of baby:  Ella Kate is the length of an English hothouse cucumber.
Total Weight Gain/Loss:   Didn't weigh this week!

Clothes:   Maternity jeans/capris and maternity tops.   Still in my regular scrubs pants, but all wearing maternity tops.

Gender:  It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She's an active little thing, she moves all the time! :-)

Sleep: Waking 2-3 times per night to use the bathroom.  It's getting harder to get comfortable.  

What I miss:  Jersey Mikes subs

Cravings:  Chocolate milk and McAlister's baked potato.  Craving a snow cone, but can't seem to find any!!!

Symptoms:  Heartburn that is relieved by Tums sometimes.

Best Moment this week:  Uncomplicated pregnancy so far, feel very blessed!!!
We had a mini-vacation to Myrtle Beach this weekend with Mom & Curtis, so we took this week's pictures on the beach.  



One more thing... Mike & Josh made Ella Kate some book ends this week to hold her books!!!
