the funny stages (mike's comedy improv group)
lindsey and me
week 27
so here are some new belly pictures.....i'm starting to feel a little large these days....clothes are just generally uncomfortable but otherwise i still feel really great. i'm wearing my bella band ( the white elastic band over regular pants in this picture...i love that thing! i basically just pull it over unbuttoned pants and on my belly for support)
the baby at 27 weeks ( well it will be 28 weeks on thursday) is about 16 inches and weighs about 2.5 lbs. baby is now able to open and close his/her eyes and is still working on rhythmic breathing and developing it's fatty tissue layer and his/her tiny brain is rapidly growing on a daily basis. i feel the baby moving all the time which is my fave and you can often see my belly moving around a bit. chores are getting harder to do...i cleaned the house yesterday and it took me twice as long since i had to take lots of little breaks. work is still going great. i'm going to chicago at the end of the month to visit with all my chicago peeps and courtney and meredith are throwing me a baby shower so i'm super excited about that.

24 weeks
so here are some belly pictures a 24 weeks. i am still feeling fabulous and enjoying the babys' frequents movement. also, if you observe my belly for a while you can see it moving from the outside. it's really cool and sometimes really weird when the baby is flipping around. the baby is about a pound and a half in weight and developing it's tastebuds and teeth buds as well as surfactant in the lungs which is going to help for oxygen exchange. he or she should really be gaining some weight this month, about 6 oz per week. size wise it's about 8.5 inches, the size of a standard letter envelope. i have purchased my first 2 pairs of maternity pants, which i am wearing in this picture but i'm still able to wear a lot of my regular clothes. i still feel like my regular self and have had no sickness or other complaints...praise God for such an amazing pregnancy!!!!

Visiting with Family
so since mike and i were fortunate enough to get away for a week together on a cruise to the carribbean.....we flew into orlando and spent the day with both sets of parents before our departure. orlando is probably the most central location between gainesville (where the smiths live) and melbourne (where the rudnickis live) both being 1 1/2 hr away or so. anyway, we met up and went out for lunch and then went to a theme park called "the holy land experience" which is modeled after events occurring in the Bible. there were a lot of dramas and mini musicals as well as artifacts and a beautiful prayer garden. at the end we were able to see a drama of the crucifixion and resurrection which was really powerful and had everyone in tears. it was great to be with family, even if only to spend the day together. we then headed south to my parents and my dad drove us to miami the next morning to leave for our vaca!!!! thanks dad!

almost week 20
baby bump!!! so the baby at 20 weeks is developing sleeping patterns...hopefully they are really good ones....nice and long. the baby is also practicing swallowing and breathing as well as fully extending it's arms and legs. the baby weighs about 9 oz and measures about 5.5-6.5 inches. (that 8.5 inches at 18 weeks was an error...i must have been having a mindless pregnancy type-o)
