update

I'm so bad at updating this, and I know i'm going to regret it in the future!!! I'm 27 weeks (tomorrow) pregnant and really starting to feel it....everywhere. My back is starting to hurt, and the baby must be growing b/c my round ligament pain is pretty intense. I definitely feel bigger than i think i am. does that make sense?? My last appointment was 3 weeks ago, the baby's heart rate was 135, way lower than Payton's was at this time. Hmmm. I also had an Ultrasound to check my placenta, it's still covering my cervix so I have to go back in two weeks to check it again. If it doesn't end up moving out of the way, we have to start thinking about a c-section, not too psyched about that but we'll deal with it when we or if we need to. Payton is being very sweet to the baby lately, kissing my belly, reading books and singing to it as well. she doesn't seem at all freaked out by the baby coming, she actually seems excited, but i'm guessing that may change when the time comes for the baby to come out. Although, she's really into babies these days and is super cute with her dolls...very motherly.

I wish I had time to write down all of the funny things Payton has been saying these days but if i wrote everything down, i'd be writing every 5 minutes. A couple i'm going to want to remember for sure some day:

As I'm taking a picture of champ she asks me why i'm taking his picture. I told her b/c he's cute. Her response - "take a picture of me, i'm cute too!"

When i asked her if she wanted to kick a ball around her response was "I'd love to"

She says she's going to play softball when she gets bigger when someone asks her what sport she's going to play - we'll see!

she just fills our life with so much joy every day!! although she is definitely starting to get a little attitude, we're trying to nip that in the bud as much as possible, but it is not easy! i love that she's independent, has a mind of her own, but wow, sometimes she's a bit difficult. wouldn't trade her for anything though :)
