6 Months: A Total Blur!

I woke up Friday morning, 24 weeks pregnant, and thought to myself - it's been 6 months already?! I thought Shaun's pregnancy went by pretty fast, but this one has been a complete blur. It's hard to believe that in just three short months we'll be getting ready to meet Baby Evan.

Evan is as active as I remember Shaun being, if not more. The Doc jokes that it's correlated to the increased caffeine intake from each pregnancy. With David, I only drank coffee during the last three months and only during the work week. With Shaun, I was drinking a Medium Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee every work day from day one and then sometimes on the weekends. With Evan, I am drinking a LARGE Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee every single day! What can I say, I need my caffeine more than ever these days.

With the 6th month came the heartburn. Let me say that I did not miss this. I had some really bad heartburn with David starting around now but with Shaun it was occasional and not nearly as bad. Evan is proving to be more like his oldest brother David. It has me wondering if the old wives tale will continue to prove true. The worse the heartburn the more hair the baby has at birth! It was true for David and Shaun, so if Baby Evan has a head full of hair like David did then I will be sold!

Today I got to see Baby Evan again. It must be this hospital's policy to do a scan every six weeks, because I have another one scheduled mid-February. The girl who did the scan got a really neat picture of Evan's face in 3D. It was kind of cool, I must admit. Normally I feel like they look all weird and alien like but this shows his eyes, nose and lips so perfectly!

Everything is measuring pefectly and they estimated that he is now 1lb 11oz., though the Doc would tell you that it's not even close to an exact science! It is always fun to see our little man squirming around.

Here is his profile picture with his foot by his face:
