Week 12

I can't even believe it...but, week 12 is here! Everyone said that the nine months goes fast and I'll admit I was having trouble believing it...as the weeks have gone by they have seemed to drag...but then I think WAIT A MINUTE! - I'm already in my SECOND trimester! Whew! I guess that it has gone fast.

We had a great time at my parents house on Tuesday night. Trippy loves to play with Pepper and I love the chance to catch up with my parents and sisters on a weekly basis. This week mom made stew, which was absolutely perfect for the chilly weather that is settling itself over Chicago.

Dad, Mom, Kris, Brian, Me and Mackenzie (Lizzie was still at work)...we made sure to get the boys involved this week!

my growing belly...

I measured 37 1/2 inches.

I love this picture - how cute is Brian?

I got in my comfy clothes and Mackie wanted to take a couple more of my belly, she thought you could see it better with the tank top on...

me & Krissy snuggling

Seriously, who trained this dog??? She's soooo cute though, isn't she?! Kristen sure is cute too!

I had my weekly blood draw this morning...

They called me this afternoon to let me know that my progesterone was at 29 - which is still good - it's holding on tight. (Dr. Hickey wants it to remain above 20.) They also let me know that I can decrease my oral progesterone medication to only 2 times a day! (I was taking it 3 times a day) Little by little, week by week, we are getting closer and closer to leaving the daily medications completely behind - what an awesome feeling. It is such a relief to know that we have a healthy pregnancy. We couldn't be any more excited!

Thank you very much for all of your continued thoughts and prayers....we are so lucky to have each and every one of you in our lives.

Baby Witko is so blessed.
