Just a little update.

Avery went to the allergist this morning so we could get refills on her epi pens that were expired. We got new ones that actually talk you through what to do. It's pretty neat. She measured at 39.3 inches tall and is 35.5 lbs.

According to the internet, since I haven't taken her to the doctor in a million years, she is above the 95th percentile for height and between the 90th and 95th percentile for weight. That's pretty generic I guess since it's the internet. It does show that she's pretty big...which we already knew :0)

Avery is getting a blood test done which will give us an idea of whether she might outgrow the peanut allergy. This doctor said that it was a good sign that she had multiple exposures with only a mild reaction. Yay!

As for the baby goes...I will be 26 weeks tomorrow. A little reminder of what that means:
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about 1 2/3 pounds and measures 14 inches (about the size of a scallion) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

On Saturday I experienced swelling for the first time. I never swelled with Avery. Saturday my feet were huge and my legs were aching. Thankfully I was able to come home and elevate my feet and drink some water. I haven't had any issues since. I had walked around a baby expo that day and Whole Foods then went and sat in a movie theater for a while.

David's been working hard on the garage. It's looking good. Nothing new with him really. I've been trying to get reading done for my certification. Which means I've been having to go to the library because I can't get it done at home. 9 books to go, 2 videos to watch and report on, 1 essay, observe and document a birth (2 but have already seen 1), compile a list of community resources, attend all workshops and finish my study guide...That's all that's left :)
