still going

Thought I'd give a little update. I am now almost 27 weeks, woot woot! BGM (baby girl mcgraw) is a very active little thing just like her big sis. I don't know if I can handle two little spitfires that are full of energy though. The excitement of a new baby has been in full swing with my family and coworkers for a while now, and it has been quite contagious to me. We have started to clean out the "toy room" to make room for the "baby room". The great name debate still remains, and my belly is constantly growing. I was never very big with Ava (I'm actually bigger now than when I delivered Ava) so this big belly thing is an all new experience for me. Putting shoes and socks on has become quite the sight :). I get to go to the doctor every two weeks, so time is moving a little closer. I am also sooooo thankful for my friends at work. They are always checking on me, sending encouraging words, and just being plain positive. You definitely find out who your true friends are when the going gets tough.
Now to Easter. We had a fabulous and busy Easter weekend. I will post pics as soon as I find the chord (I always seem to lose).

update

Well, not much going on here. I haven't had anymore contractions, just lots of pressure. I still can't work, wich really stinks. I had no idea how much I would miss work and "thinking". I have started to do some monitor teching- which i just sit in a chair with my feet up and watch monitors. It is totally boring, but it's keeping the baby inside and providing a little money. My coworkers are soooo great! They come to get me in a wheelchair, wheel me to the bathroom, and wheel me back to my car at the end of my shift. Have I mentioned how great my coworkers/friends are?! I'm starting to let it sink in that we may just get to have a baby at the end of all of this. I'm starting to stress about normal pregnancy things. When should I start getting the baby room ready? I don't want to set it up and then not have a baby to put into it. When should we tell Ava? The sweet thing still hasn't noticed my belly, just my bruises from my lovenox shots. And don't even get me started on the great name debate. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I like old fashioned names, but can't be too long for early learning spelling purposes :). And Danny, well, he doesn't like anything.
