9 monthes ago

This is me exactly 9 monthes ago....even to the time

And this is what I got

I'm so lucky. :)

I took her to the doctor today.  She is 28 inches and 17 lbs.  She's so little!  Doctor said she looks great.  She has a mild case of eczema but the doctor said lotion would be fine.  She got toe prick to check her iron and a few shots.  She did not like those at all.  

In honor of her being out of me for as long as she was in me I thought I'd do a pregnancy tag that my friend has on her blog.  **Congrats to Katelyn!  She found out she is having another boy**
