Our little girl weighs in at one pound...Her beautiful little face is fully formed and she can hear all the outside noises!....even Riley's obnoxious yelping! She is also settling into a sleep cycle, averaging about 12-14 hours of sleep a day. (I am jealous.) She is most active in the afternoon and late at night (oh joy!). I have felt her kung-fu kicks from the outside of my belly many times now, but every time Justin's hand touches my belly she settles right down, so he has yet to feel her! Daddy must already have that special soothing touch! We've annoyed her by placing a flashlight on my tummy and also music but she does not ever seem phased by either one. It is definitely a cool feeling to have her moving around with such strong, bold moves! Although I only have one more week left until I am in month 6, I wish I could fast forward time. :) I feel like I have already been pregnant forever. I continue to feel alright, although I must say that my joints are getting a little stiff and I definitely have swollen hands and feet by the end of the day. It is nothing unbearable, and I would much rather put up with a little ache here-and-there than than going back to the exhaustion of the first trimester! I just drink more water and I have taken any added salt completely out of my diet to help with the water retention.

This post was a little late coming because our days have been pretty crazy. Justin and I both have been busy, busy, busy at work!!....which I guess is a good thing. Hope you all are enjoying our little "January-Warm-Up!" I laugh because my parents are in Florida, and it really is not a whole lot warmer there! haha....suckers! Karma for not taking us along! :)

Happy Soon-to-be-Weekend Everyone!
