6 Months

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 6 months

Size of Baby: approximately a foot long, and just over a pound

Gender: Girl!!! Morgan Amory Russell

Maternity Clothes: Yes! Maternity pants, and some maternity shirts.

I can still wear some of my regular shirts and some

regular pants with my belly bad, but not many.

Weight Gain: 17 pounds

Movement: She moves ALL the time! And usually at the

same time of day. She is very active at night when I lay

on my back. Cory has felt her kick once or twice but usually

when he tries to feel her she stops. Poor guy :)

Sleep: I am still sleeping pretty good. I usually get up

once to use the bathroom but not more then that. I am not

looking forward to the days when I am so uncomfortable

that I can't sleep.

Symptoms: Still have lots of heartburn and acid reflux. It doesn't

matter what I eat, I get it. I have really noticed swelling in my legs

the past couple of weeks. I'm sure it's because I am on my feet

all day long. I wore my high heel boots the other day and know

that I am not going to be able to wear them much longer. It's

getting harder and harder to put my shoes on, bend over, get up, etc.

I get out of breath easily and noticed my hips hurting some.

Cravings: The past weeks I haven't really craved anything. This week

I have just craved something really good but not sure what it is.

Silly, I know!!

Best Moment of the Month: Getting to see my belly

move for the first time! I didn't think I would

see her move like this for a while but I was happily surprised

last night to watch her kick! So sweet!
