Tip Of Advice

This is just a friendly little tip of advice for everyone. It is NEVER ok, alright, or appropriate to say "Wow...you've really gotten fat!" or "Wow...you've gotten big!" to a pregnant woman. These comments to a pregnant woman can definitely and will most likely be taken into the wrong context and upset them.

Another little bit of information: it is perfectly normal and expected that the average pregnant woman gains anywhere from 20-30 pounds during her pregnancy. So for those that have made the comments about how "big" I have gotten...FYI..I have only gained 19 pounds and am into my 7th month!

With that said, everything has been going very well with the pregnancy, only recently have I had a few instances of nausea. We continue to get great reports at my checkups and she is already in the right position for delivery. She has been getting much more active within the past weeks with her movements becoming much more forceful. It is actually really cool to watch because you can actually see her move across my stomach!

For those of you who haven't heard yet, we have came up with her name: Kallie Breanne Woodard. It is amazing...what we thought was going to be a really difficult process was actually decided in one afternoons time!

We will continue to keep you posted as things start to progress.

Here is a picture of what I currently look like. This was taken on 7/17/08 when Ryan and I went on an evening birthday cruise on the Carrie B in downtown Portsmouth for two of Ryan's family members.
