MONTH 6!

MOMMY:
Momma's at 6 months / 24 weeks and feeling it for sure! I feel pretty good for the most part, just trying to figure out how to get through 4 more months without exploding. My lower belly often feels like it's stretching and pulling which makes it hurt to walk around sometimes. I've also noticed that my heart rate beats really fast, especially in the mornings. My resting HR was 100 one morning. This is evidentially a sign of tacacardia which is common in pregnancy. I have a Dr. appt Friday so will be discussing all of these issues with her.
I've started looking for nery room stuff which is exciting. I registered at Baby's R Us for the everyday items which was fun but entirely overwhelming! I also signed up for a childbirthing class and breast feeding class. Miss Elie gets to go to a brothers/sisters class as well where she takes a stuffed animal or doll and learns to change diapers, etc. Shis is pumped... although she says poopie diapers are out!
We are still stressing over the name, but hope to get that nailed down soon. Graham, Ely, Jacob, are top names right now.
DADDY:
Little Ely is really coming along! Teshia covered everything pretty much. This month she really started showing. I just don't see how Teshia little belly is going to take much more... but I'm sure we'll find out just how much bigger she'll get very soon.
Only 3 more months. This is really flying by much faster than I thought it would.
