Babymoon :) Weeks 24 & 25

First of all...this baby MOVES. LIKE. CRAZY. She never stops! And 4am is her favorite time...she flips around and uses me like a punching bag around 4am EVERY day.




We went to Disney World for a quick weekend trip during week 24, our LAST vacation before baby arrives! The heat definitely got the best of me, but overall everything was fine. We walked a total of more than 13 miles the day we went to the theme parks, and I did just fine. Biggest problem was not being able to ride the new Snow White rollercoaster...lol :/


We came back home, and went back to work. Then all of a sudden we were 25 weeks! I am getting excited because we are finally to the point where the baby would be viable if we delivered (way too) early. This belly gets bigger every day...and I graduated to a bigger pair of scrub pants (not because mine don't fit, but because I have never felt so restricted in a pair of pants in my life lol no stretch)



I am now feeling the pressure to get the nursery all finished and organized. I had painted the first two walls a few months back, and as predicted, never finished painting. So I am starting to tackle that this week. I also made a super cute mobile to hang over her crib! Took forever but saved me a ton, and it's exactly what I wanted.

22-23 Weeks and everything is PERFECT!

At our 18 week ultrasound, we were told our placenta was low lying, which could be an issue during delivery. They scheduled us for a follow up ultrasound, because the placenta usually moves up as the uterus stretches and the baby grows. Well, it did! Every measurement of our ultrasound was right where it should be. They were also able to visualize and measure the entire heart this time, which they couldn't last time because the baby was crunched in such a tight little ball. 

The ultrasound tech switched over to the 4D mode when she was scanning the baby's face, and it was SO. COOL. We got a few little pictures, I think she looks like me...but the tech assured my husband that her face would change as she gets more meat on her bones :) haha



Our next appointment is at 27 weeks, and it is a normal appointment with no ultrasound, but I do have to drink some sugar stuff for a glucose tolerance test.
