Time passing...

So I'm well into my 5th month and time is passing quickly. I can't believe that we are over the half way point and that soon we will have a baby here with us.
We went to the doctor on thursday and things are looking good. We did find out that I am going to have to go in for an ultrasound once a month for the rest of the pregnancy to make sure that the baby continues to grow "normally". As most of you know I have high bloodpressure, so we have had to go for a few more doctor's appointment than the average pregnant woman. Things have been going really well though. It is going so good that I have been able to get off of my medication, and I'm feeling great. One thing that does make me nervous is Abe is not going to be able to go to all of my appointments with me anymore =(
Abe and I are going to through a big change right now because he is starting a new job and he is back in school. Him being gone at school has been a real eye opener for me...I get to see all that he does for me, and I miss every second of it. But, I know that this is for the best and it is only going to help our family.
Other than that things are pretty good right now. I am growing, the baby is moving (it seems to move most when Isabella is around), and we even bought our first pack of diapers! So do you think it is a boy or a girl? ~Valarie

Changes

5 1/2 months...
Tomorrow Val will be 5 1/2 months into her pregnancy. From what I read this means the baby is at or around 1lb, and from this point on the baby is only going to get bigger! One of the what to expect emails Val forwarded to me tells me that the baby is starting to get hair on his/her head as well :) Wow. All these changes are coming quick, Val was 2 weeks when we found out she was pregnant and at our first doctors visit the baby was the size of a grape. Time is flying!!
We're heading to the doctor on Thursday as well; it's going to be kind of a bitter sweet visit. I start a new job on Jan 23rd so this means that this Thursday’s appointment will probably be the last time I get to tag along to see the baby's progress :( like I said bittersweet.
Looks like 09 is going to be a big year for me and Val, new job, new baby and all the responsibilities that come with both. In any case I’m excited and ready to take on the year and everything that comes with it. More to come thursday after the visit to see la doctora.
Shout out to Gordy for coming to fix our furnace! Thanks!! lol~Abraham
