25 weeks:
We started the week by spending the weekend with Mom, Dad, Bruce, Christine, Tom and Joe. We had a great visit and I am so glad that R got to meet everyone. It was so nice to see them after all of that time. Connor was pretty active, but any time his Oma (Mom) tried to feel him kick he would stop. He's already playing games with her!
Tuesday I had an appointment with Dr J. Connor is doing great, but I was measuring ahead so she sent me for a growth scan. Turns out little man is not so little. He was measuring 2 weeks ahead and is already 2 lbs. That puts him in the 87th percentile! I was able to get a great profile shot of him as well. He's such a handsome little guy!
26 weeks:
Friday, we got to have dinner with Bruce, Christine, Tom and Joe. They were staying in town because their flight home was the next day. We took them to our favorite Thai restaurant and showed them our apartment. We had a great evening and it was a really nice way to end the week.
Saturday was my shower. We drove up early to help Mom out with the prep and then R dropped me off at the park and went and hung out with Corey and Jeff. We had a great turn out, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Sig, Mom, Alex, Kate and Kaimi went way above and beyond and really made it a special day. We got all kinds of great goodies for Connor. So many cute outfits! I can't wait until he can fit into them. He is going to be one well dressed kid! We also got some beautiful blankets (a couple were handmade) and some practical stuff as well. We are very blessed and Connor is one lucky little boy to have such caring friends and family.
The rest of this week has been pretty quiet. I have been working, writing thank you cards and trying to organize the nursery. This weekend we are going to do some massive work in there, so hopefully there will be a lot of progress.
Weekly Check In:
- How far along?: 26 weeks
- Total weight gain: I am up 9.5 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight.
- How big is baby?: Baby is the size of an eggplant this month.
- Maternity clothes?: Fully in maternity clothes at this point. They are so comfortable.
- Movement: Lots of strong kicks and movement! He's been especially active the last couple of days!
- Stretch marks?: No new ones, but the ones around my belly button are getting worse.
- Sleep?: Sleep, what's that? I only seem to be able to sleep when I take a Tylenol PM, and even that's not working so well anymore.
- Symptoms?: Heightened sense of smell, really vivid dreams, heartburn and movement. Also having some rib and hip pain now.
- Food cravings: Cereal is still hitting the spot.
- Belly button in or out?: Still an innie.
- What I miss: Not a whole lot at this point.
- What I'm looking forward to: I have an OB appointment on Wednesday which I am looking forward to, and we will be working on the nursery this weekend.
- Best Moment this week: Since this is really a two week update, I am going to pick two; spending time with old friends and my shower. Both were fantastic!
- Milestone: Connor's eyelids are opening and he is taking practice breaths. He is viable now, so if he were to be born early there is a good chance he would be okay with medical intervention!
