Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Hey blogosphere, Jeni here writing from pregnancy land. I am now just over 25 weeks which means I'm in my sixth month. Ella weighs about a pound and a 1/2 and is about 9 or so inches long, crown to rump. I'm feeling her move all the time now, but it still just feels like little flutters more than actual body parts moving around. I'm sure it will become annoying later on, but right now it is the coolest feeling ever. I still don't have too many symptoms, but as I am writing this, I did just notice that my ankles are pretty swollen. I guess it is good to be pregnant in the winter because you can wear boots and pants and hide your problem areas as much as possible. Good planning on my part. I still have crazy leg cramps at night, but as far as I know, there's nothing you can do about that.

And just so everyone knows, we have registered at Babies R Us. It was pretty fun to pick out all the cool gadgets. Plus, I let Michael use the gun, so he was happy. Word of advice for you future moms out there, bring a mother with you. Registering for baby stuff is not like registering for your wedding. When there are about twenty different monitors to choose from, you need a little guidance. We forgot to do that, but we figured it out. So, feel free to start buying us presents! Talk to you later!
