Here we are, week 25! It's pretty surreal to think I only have 15 weeks left! Time has really flown by! The summer seems like it is already filled up with events every weekend. Which makes me think she is going to be here before I know it...
This week I was able to have another US so they could measure the umbilical cord to the abdomen. I was so thankful we were able to see our baby girl again. We got a great picture of her and we can actually see what she looks like which is unbelievable! She kept yawning and putting her hands over her face but we did get a few good shots. I can't wait to see her in person. I included a picture below- sorry to those who get freaked out by these...this will be the only one I post, promise.
I passed my gestational diabetes test on the first try... phew! I am so glad I don't need to worry about that. I think I will celebrate with some skittles... :)
Last weekend my friend Kara and I threw a baby shower for our dear friend Alyssa who is due in 3-4 weeks from now. I can't believe how fast her pregnancy went. Seems like yesterday she told me she was expecting. We can't wait to meet her baby boy and have more baby friends. So many kiddos now!
I have been feeling pretty good. I am still fighting a cold that has lasted two weeks but I am definitely on the up and up. Sleeping has been good and bad... I have noticed some hip pain at night but other nights I am fine. My blood pressure was great at the Dr and I am sitting between a 14-16 pound weight gain which I am fine with. I am hoping to stay under 30 this pregnancy but we will see. I have been trying to walk 4 days a week at least but last week the rain didn't help. Plus, I noticed about 10 minutes after I leave the house I have to pee... this is going to get tricky and I really would rather not knock on a strangers door to use the bathroom. :)
Baby girl has been kicking up a storm. I am noticing a pattern and she is very active at night between 9:00 - 10:00PM. I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come. I also was able to see her moving from outside my belly, very cool!
I want to say thank you to all the friends and family have sent us gifts lately. There has been an outpouring of love on Jimmy and I and our baby girl. She is being spoiled so much already! And we love it! We are beyond blessed!!!
Next Dr appointment is in 4 weeks and I will be officially in the 3rd trimester! Can't wait!
Love,
Kristin
