24 Weeks, 5 Days

 Well, we've reached the six month mark of pregnancy number 2. (24 weeks and 5 days if you want to get technical) Four more months to go and I'm already waddling! I'm sure that's not a good sign of things to come in the next 4 months, but at least the baby is healthy and growing. 

I pretty much hate the picture-in-the-mirror-with-the-phone-camera photos but what's a busy mom to do when she actually got dressed and no one else is around? And really what's the reality of staying dressed until the husband comes home? I'm usually sporting a pony tail and shorts by 3 pm these days.

Addy went with me to see the "baby doctor" yesterday. She managed to sit still almost the whole time and got to hear the baby's heartbeat at the end. I'm pretty sure she still has absolutely no idea what's going on but it's fun to include her.

Caption please! 

This picture is hilarious to me and needs a funny caption to go with it. Unfortunately, funny captions has never been my strong suite. Any suggestions?

I got a surprise phone call from the midwife this afternoon. It appears that my cervix is slightly shorter than what's normal. Huh? She moved my scheduled ultrasound up a few days so that she could measure me. Given my history of a normal, full term delivery, there's really nothing to worry about but she did end the conservation with "so, if you go into preterm labor over the weekend, just come on in and we'll check you out." Hmm...
