A lil' update on Crosby...

Picasa has informed me that I have used all of my "free" space, which prevents me from posting pictures here. I'll work on getting that fixed when I come up for air.


I am 20 weeks pregnant. As in, over halfway. Crosby weighs 13 oz., almost a pound, and is measuring 20w4d. Franklin always measured ahead too. All of his other measurements are in the 70th percentile, except for his femur length, which was around 50%. Suppose he's going to come out with Frank and Franklin's short stubby little legs too. My hopes of having a child who might look like me were dashed. He is head down, facing my spine. He apparently likes bananas, and was smacking his lips during the entire ultrasound yesterday (I had a banana for breakfast). He looks like Franklin, I think they have the same nose.


I am on track with weight gain this time, and my BP was 120/82. We started at 100/70, so I was a little concerned, but my doc says we'll see where I'm at during the next appointment in 4 weeks.


Our house is still on the market. We have had 4 showings in the past three days and have another today, and one Thursday. Last time, at 26 weeks pregnant, I had an entire nursery put together -- down to the artwork. My bag was packed, Franklin had new, washed and ironed clothing hanging in the closet for him, a monogrammed baby book, and diapers on the shelf. This time, every single item of baby clothing is packed in boxes stacked on top of one another in our basement, and the rest of the baby items are across town in storage. Where they will stay until mid-August, unless our house sells before then. Meaning, I will be approximately 35 weeks pregnant and just STARTING to unpack and prepare for the baby. Franklin arrived at 36+6. Stressed much, maybe? P.S. Franklin and I are both sick. Again. I could use a little easy right now....
