25 weeks 6 days

Little Maddie had hiccups and I thought it would be neat to share them with you. Unfortunately, you can't see much and there are only three of them that the tech caught.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the last week in my second trimester! As of today, I have only 99 days left until our due date...99 days left out of 280 (the average length of human gestation). To celebrate, Nonny went on a Shipley's run this morning! We had great coffee called a "Christmas Blend" (duh! It had to be good, right!?) and enough donuts to make our tummies hurt. Madelyn Grace enjoyed both the caffeine and sugar buzz this morning and it felt like she was doing jumping-Jacks for about 30 minutes before she finally settled down some. As for myself, I am going to have a hundred pounds to lose by the time this is all said and done. I am exaggerating, of course, but not by much! I was chubby when we found out little Maddie was coming and it's getting progressively worse and worse. I went through my closet and was showing Nonny what a size 4 jean looks like; even my old trusty size 7's looked itty-bitty. So, roll on, January! Mamma's ready to brush away the thick layer of dust that has settled atop my TaeBo DVD's, ready to want salad again...hey, breastfeeding uses up about 600 calories an hour, too!

XOXO
