Surgery and Shy Baby!

My mom came in town last week to visit and get her shoulder fixed. She had been having problems with it for awhile, and I was able to get her an appointment with a shoulder specialist out here. She got here last Sunday, her appointment was that Monday, and he was able to squeeze her into surgery the very next day! The surgery went very well, there wasn't as much damage as originally thought and she is already feeling better! This is her recuperating afterwards and enjoying the pain block!


Taking good care of her:
In baby news, everything has been going great! My belly is definitely starting to fill out, I am much more comfortable in maternity clothes now than the skinny clothes. One of the doctors at work gave me BAGS of maternity clothes, so I really shouldn't have to buy very much, just a couple pairs of jeans since my legs are so darn long!

The belly at 24 weeks:

Miss Avery is getting bigger and stronger everyday! She is much more active at night, and sleeps during the day, just like her momma! We will have our hands full if she keeps that schedule after she's born. Every night before we go to bed Josh lays with his hand on my belly and she kicks her daddy. He can even feel her kicking his butt when I am spooning him at night :) We had our 24 week Dr's appointment today. I had to take the 1 hour glucose tolerance test, hopefully everything will be normal with that. I sure have been enjoying the Halloween candy! I have only gained 3 pounds so far, but Dr. Hernandez said she is growing adequately so not to worry about that. She weighs 1.5 lbs, is in the breech position right now and and was being shy again for this ultrasound. She likes to keep her hands in front of her face! These are some of the pictures we were able to get:

She's got both hands up, playing with her umbilical cord and smiling:

Her little profile, looks like she's got the Danford chin:

Tomorrow my mom and I are going to get pedicures, then I am back to work for another long stretch. My mom starts her physical therapy with Josh on Wednesday, he is going to whip her back into shape. Next weekend we are throwing a Halloween party for some of our friends, so I will try to post some pictures from that. That is all that we have been up to, just school, work and enjoying spending time with my mom!
