23 weeks (6 months) pregnant!

How your baby's growing: Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound. His skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare him for breathing. He can swallow, but he normally won't pass his first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze your baby when he hears them outside the womb.

Well, here I am 6 months pregnant. I honestly never thought I was going to be able to carry a babybeyond 7 weeks, let alone this far. Im still shocked at the miracles God can perform.

I went and had the ultrasound yesterday -- 

IT'S A GIRL!

I wish I could show you the sonogram pictures, two of her little face and one of her bottom (showing shes a girl). Besides her anatomy, they were also able to tell me that her heart and everything else looks absolutely perfect. They dont think she is going to have the same issues that I had, which is a relief. Few of you Voxers know that I was born with six toes on each foot, which is something (extra toes and/or fingers) that runs in my dads side of the family. They checked her little feet and hands and she has just what she is supposed to have. :)

On another note.. I feel like crap today. I didnt even go to my class, I hope I dont get in trouble. It starts at 8:30am, and I woke up at about 8:23! The alarm had been going off since 7:30, and I never even heard it because of my ears (I have an earache in both ears and I cant hear worth a flip now). I jumped up and started getting ready, I was going to go, even though I'd be late, but all this coughing and EWW ended up making me start throwing up. I'm so tired of being sick, man! The doc told me to take Benadryl at night, to dry up my sinuses, which is what causes most of the coughing, but jeez.. I feel like crap all day after taking something to make me pass out the night before. Anywho.. I'm going to go lay down and relax.
