Week 25





                                                  Echo Cardio Ultrasound


All I have to say about this is 3 things:

1)Patience; 2 hours in the waiting room, and patience just so happens to not be my "thing".
2) Anxiety; the feeling a mother gets when the woman figuring out if all is ok makes crazy faces.
3) Relief; the moment the doctor came in to tell us he had nothing to say other than baby is healthy!

Week 23

Pregnancy Week 23:





                            Acrobatic baby movements are happening inside me!

Last night, while watching Netflix, I felt our baby doing what felt like a summersault.
I am happy to know that baby is enjoying himself, but man oh man does he make me nervous.
This week I would classify as circus training week for baby.


I was an active womb baby.
As a baby in the womb, my mother told me that I would often move around and she would get nervous
when I stopped moving. Thankfully my mother is an apprehensive woman, for if she had not paid close attention to my movements would not have been alarmed when I had quit moving and had tangled myself in my umbilical chord 4 x around my neck.

This little piece of information has me counting kicks, movements, and the full on acrobatic training schedule. As a Result,  this post is  a shout out to any mother who has or is neurotically counting their baby's movements!

God Bless Wiggly Babies!!

22 Weeks

I am officially feeling my little baby move about more than ever before.
The routine has consistently been: 
A) baby moving as I go to bed 
B) whenever baby hears his dad's voice 
C) Or whenever I put my laptop on my belly 

My appetite is growing as well as my baby. 
Prior to this week I had to remind myself to eat, but now, I am reminding myself to eat proportionally. 
My growing appetite has affected my morphing baby bump tremendously and I am now starting to round out and feeling like Violet, from Willy Wonka, turning into a blueberry! 

Here is what I am referencing; in case you wanted a more accurate visual.
