27 and Counting
My appointment went well today—another quick one. She still has a good heartbeat, she’s positioned where she’s supposed to be, my belly’s the way it should be, I gained five more pounds for a grand total of 27. He’s going to see me again on the 30th (Happy Birthday grandma & me!!) and then after that I think he’ll start seeing me every week. It’s getting so close!!!!
I have a little goal/game going to see if I can stay at or under 30 pounds of total weight gain. (No worries. I’m not trying to lose weight or prevent her from growing as she should in any way.) It’s just a fun little game I decided to play. Before my appointment today I decided I would treat myself to Sonic if I was still on target. 27!! So I went to Sonic. It’s quite possible the burger, tots, and strawberry limeade I had MAY have pushed me over the edge. Oh well! It was worth it!
About
On Monday, May 26, 2008, we took a home pregnancy test and found out that we were great with child (before that we were just plain great). Who knew that peeing on a stick could bring such joy? We even took a picture of the stick but we’ll spare everyone that image. One week later an ultrasound confirmed that Katie did indeed have a little baby growing inside of her belly.
Well, nine months went by in a flash and our little girl is finally here. On Thursday, January 22, 2009, at 4:50 in the afternoon, Kharis Grace Parrish entered the world. She is absolutely perfect. We are so grateful to our Father in heaven who has blessed us by giving us the stewardship of this little girl. We invite everyone to check in from time to time and watch as Kharis grows and as Katie and I try to handle all of this. I am sure our attempt at being parents will be entertaining and sometimes just plain laughable. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
