Half Way Done!

Hi Kuti,

You are now more than 20 weeks along! That means we have less than 20 weeks to go before we meet you.  I took a few pictures of myself.  I just need to get them off of my camera to put them on here! I hope you are growing a lot.  I have been gaining some weight.  I have gained a total of 13.7 pounds according to one of my pregnancy apps :(.  I should show more restraint when it comes to cookies!  I have been doing a lot better about eating produce though.  I read that I should be eating 9 servings of fruits or vegetables every day! That is a lot.  I have started making smoothies with almond milk, spinach, blueberries, and frozen fruit.  They are pretty tasty!  I have also started taking fish oil because it has DHA in it that should help the connections in your brain develop.  I definitely was not eating any fish before, so I am hoping this will help you to get what you need.

I am so thankful for you Kuti.  This has been a very easy pregnancy.  I had another friend that found out she was pregnant a few weeks ago.  She just found out that the baby now has no heart beat.  I had heard that 1 out of every 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage.  I have heard about too many of them lately though.  I also read a blog called La Vie Petite who lost a baby who was even 16 weeks along, and she lost her baby.  She was even forced to go through 3 hours of labor to birth her baby who had died.  I love and trust in God.  These things are hard though.  I pray for you every day little Kuti.  I have even started praying for your future spouse (although you could be a priest or nun if you wanted to).

It is fun to start talking to you.  I do feel little flutters in my belly more often now.  I actually cannot wait until you are big enough so that I can really feel you kick.

I love you Kuti! Keep growing!
