We had our mid-term ultrasound yesterday morning! Everything looks wonderful and right on target with growth and anatomy. The baby was apparently laying on the placenta -- like a giant bean bag chair. *Glad you're not hesitating to make yourself comfortable in there! Just make sure you're ready to vacate the premises after 27 July (Tasha & Steve's wedding).* Anyway, the little one just has quite a bit more growing to do over the next 20+ weeks. At this point in the pregnancy, I have gotten over the hump (I hope, anyway) of the not-so-fun symptoms. I haven't had any nausea or cramping like I did during the first trimester. The only bothersome stuff I'm experiencing at this point are some normal aches and pains and light-headedness. It's all well worth it though :-) I'm a lot more active (thanks to ditching the 3hr round-trip commute everyday and having to single-mom it on the farm half the time) during this pregnancy, so I think that has helped me feel pretty darn good to this point. I hope it continues!

We will certainly keep you posted (hopefully a bit better than we have been) for the duration of the pregnancy. In the mean time, here are a few pictures of the newest addition to the Gilles Clan.

| Same little nose as Riley (and the same camera shyness as well). |

| Quit wiggling just long enough to get a few good profile shots. |
 |
| Cute little foot! |
And now for one of the most highly anticipated images...

| We love you and are so excited to meet you, sweet baby girl! |
Yee Haw!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm already in love with this little bundle of joy.
Grandma
Hooray! Ash, you look stupendous.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I was HUGE by 19 weeks - or at least huge compared to you. I probably need to work on a farm when I'm pregnant so I can stay trim :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. Hope everything continues to go smoothly and enjoyably
Great pictures! YaY! Another red headed girl in the family. I had a strong feeling it would be a girl. How lucky for her to have Riley for a protective big brother. Ashley you look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, a girl!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm a horrible follower and I'm way late to the party but CONGRATULATIONS! So excited for you guys! I remember my second pregnancy while Peter was deployed all too well...not easy. But way easier than running a farm at the same time, I'm sure! I hope it's all downhill from here for you, many prayers!
