25 Weeks
Well, the hair's shorter, and I'm getting bigger :) I'm rounding the final lap of the 2nd trimester! Only 3 more months to go! I'm ready. I really commend women that love pregnancy enough to do it 4 or 5 times. Little boy's moving 24/7 and it fun to feel his excitement. I've been feeling just fine. Of course my back hurts from time to time and I'm not sleeping well anymore but those things are a given. I'm actually glad I'm not sleeping very well so it's not such a rude awakening once the baby gets here. I totally believe it's God's way of preparing me. I'm a little late on this posting because our most recent doctor's visit was last Friday and we left for a weekend trip to Louisville KY directly afterwards.
First I'll cover the appointment...
(I love these pictures of Isaiah in our appointment room. He's been such a supportive spouse. So many women never get to experience this kind of encouragement, especially when they're pregnant.)
My doctor said the heartbeat sounds nice and healthy as always and she broke out the tape measure at this visit to start measuring my growing belly. I've gained 16 pounds overall (I thought it was WAY more) and I've already pre-registered at the hospital for when I go in to labor and I've signed Isaiah and I up for a Newborn Care class as well as a hospital tour of the birthing floor so we won't feel overwhelmed the day of. I'm definitely nesting. I'm bursting at the seems to prepare the house for the baby (especially the nursery).
The baby is continuing to put on fat. He now weighs about 1 2/3 pounds and measures 14 inches (the size of an English hothouse cucumber)
his sense of hearing has developed now more than ever and he may be able to hear both my voice and Isaiah and I chatting with each other.
Now the Louisville Trip...
Isaiah coaches a team of 7th grade boys that travel around to play in tournaments in the area. This was our first out of town trip with the team and everyone had a blast!
...but you can't go on a trip without stopping at Cracker Barrel first!
We arrived on Friday, had a team dinner together, and played 3 games on Saturday
I was at all of the games but I'm starting to get sleepy in the middle of the day again...
We checked out some shops in the area
And ate at Joe's Crab Shack after our 3 games on Saturday
We switched turns driving home because we were so sleepy!
But overall we had a fantastic trip! So much fun to get away for a weekend!
Next exciting thing is the baby shower on July 28th!! I'll keep you guys updated!
