24 Weeks

I think I’m digging the progression photos! I wasn’t sure if I liked them at first but now that there’s actually a difference between the photos, its pretty fun! These will definitely be going into the baby book!

24 weeks and still dealing with nausea. I actually tossed my cookies this morning which I wasn’t very impressed with at all. Luckily, it was just water. Oi.

My 24 week appointment was kind of a snoozer. I did get a shot which wasn’t very much fun but my nurse was a ROCKSTAR and that helped a lot. It was the DTAP or TDAP shot. Whichever one is for Pertussis and Tetanus. Now my baby will be safely protected from whooping cough which has been going around lately I suppose. My arm is still sore from the tetanus and I received the shot on Monday. Ouch. Its not SUPER painful, just enough to be annoying when I move it. And yes, I have kept it moving. I don’t want it to stay any longer than it needs to, trust me.

I’m measuring on time, looking great on size and everything. I got to hear the heartbeat again, that never gets old. It was funny though, she was kicking the whole time my Dr was looking for the heart beat but we couldn’t find her. Then my Dr said she was probably behind the placenta so she pushed a little harder and there she was, heart beating away! Funny little a girl, a little shy it seems.

Joe FINALLY started to feel her move. I thought he never would! It was mainly because she’d stop moving as soon as his hand would touch my tummy. Enoch felt her move first, you got to hear about that from my previous post. Travis has yet to feel her and really doesn’t want to. I asked him the other day to feel her and I gently put his hand on my tummy and he started yelling, “NO! I don’t WANT to touch her!”. He’s so pleasant. ;D

I believe we’ve finally found a name. It’s the only name that all four of us like. Enoch has already shared it with his teacher at school. He’s not so great at keeping secrets… at all. Sorry, you’ll just have to find out her name when she arrives. Like I said when I was pregnant with Travis, I learned never to share baby names with people again. Haha. Once you’ve named them, people have no choice but to be polite. So there. ;D I will say, it’s a feminine, romantic, girly name and we love it. And there were only 39 recorded last year so that’s great!  :D

The boys have done some shopping for their sister. I think that really helped Travis come to terms with the fact that he’s getting a little sister and he’s really okay with it now.

The boys picked these out. They were pretty impressed with themselves.

I brought these home the day of the ultrasound so I could show the family instead of tell. The boys had gone to the butterfly pavilion that day with their Tutu so they all were surprised when I got home.

I actually won these from reading a blog!! SO CUTE.

Pear Shaped Thoughts

20 to 24 weeks CLOTHED. Haha.

This has been a fun pregnancy but also demanding. I really can’t believe I’m 24 weeks already. Both my boys were born at or around 36 weeks and for this baby, 36 week is around December 13th. I’m really hoping to go farther than that this time around! Fingers crossed!
