25 Weeks Pregnant

Well I am back for another blog, so I will keep you updated on how things have been going this last week. Rilee has I think hit her "terrible two's" or she is just getting completely frustrated that she cannot communicate with Larry and I. She really tries to tell us what she wants, but it is not only frustrating for her, but is also for us. When we punish her it is hard, because we cannot tell her why we did what we did and she doesn't know what she did was wrong. Sure she has an "evil" look on her face when she knows she isn't supposed to touch something and does it anyway, but most of the time we shake our head "no" it is hard to tell whether or not she really understands what we are saying.

We made her an appointment with the Audiologist and the Ears Nose and Throat Doctor for the 31st of March and the reason it is so far ahead, is because Dr. Fear is the only one that does surgeries in this area and with the cochlear implants we are not complaining on having to wait considering I think it is going to be a fast process once we get in there to the time we get her the implant so please pray that everything goes smoothly and that we will not have to wait long.

Larry has been working a lot lately he had to go to Klamath on Tuesday and go back yesterday and then his boss calls him and says he needs to go to Salem and help another depot out because they were down 4 guys until Saturday so he will be up there until late Saturday evening. Of course I am going to miss him, because I would have only saw him 1 day basically this whole week. Call me crazy, but unlike some wives I really enjoy my husbands company, and miss him when he is gone!

Reagan has been moving and kicking a lot lately so I know she is healthy, I went in for my ultrasound on Wednesday and the kidney is looking the same which is great because the amniotic fluid is perfect around Reagan and the umbilical cord is getting enough blood which has to do with the kidneys so the Right one is doing all the work which is wonderful. She checked everything else, and her heart, brain, and little body is working wonderfully. Everything is right on track, like I said last blog, she is scheduled to come on the 26th of May via c-section, I was hesitant about that at first, but the more I think about it, the more I am liking the idea. I like the fact that I will be able to wear makeup the morning of the surgery and look "beautiful" for pictures with my new little girl and my family. Last time I looked like I was ran over by a mack truck haha.

This week Reagan from Head to heels, now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

We got more ultrasound pictures as well, so here are some 4D pictures that we got they are so cool!!!





Thanks for reading this week. May God bless this week and many to come!!!
