25 wks

Back again and 25 wks...I'm pretty sure this kid is on some performance enhancing stuff....J/K!! The baby growing so well. Heart rate 148 bpm, very strong. As we go along it's gets harder to wait to meet this little one but still some important things to get done. :-)

 

Here the baby is snuggling next to the placenta :-)

25 weeks down and only 15 more to go!  My boyfriend and I keep joking around that she is already running out of room since she seems to be so squished already! 

It’s again so amazing to see how much bigger she is getting.  I feel like this week her face was much fuller in her lips and her cheeks than in the past.  The picture of her snuggling up to the placenta is so cute to me!  Her brother is a blanky baby and HAS to have blankets touching his face whenever he sleeps or naps and has been like this since he was born, he’s almost 16 months old now.  I’m guessing she is going to be the same!

I’m definitely starting to see a lot of my son, my boyfriend and myself in her face but it still doesn’t beat the anticipation I have of meeting her!  Also, the heart seems to have grown so much in just the past two weeks, it really makes me think how amazing pregnancy really is, that we can grow and make such strong and healthy babies!

For the first time I noticed she had the hiccups the other night right before bed. I could not only feel my tummy jumping every few seconds but I could actually see my tummy jumping up a little bit.  It’s amazing that she still has about 15 weeks but she is already big enough for me to see her tiny movements.  I can’t wait for the next scan J

23 wks!!

So back again 23 wks. This time the baby was in another transitional position so we got a few shots but not as much. That is totally normal and no big deal. Still amazing to see the growth! Heart Rate 136 bpm. For some technical info. the baby is just about 11 inches and weighs nearly a pound. What a miracle so amazing each week to experience the development of this little girl.

Wow here we are at 23 weeks already!  Our baby girl must know when we do these scans because I feel like every other scan she is either in a good position or in a transitional position.  What a little stinker J

It was still super cool to see how much more she is developing and changing.  I think one of the best parts now is to see how much bigger she is getting each time in her profile picture and how much more “baby like” her face is starting to look.

The heart is looking much bigger now too!  I still like to look back at the first scan of her heart and it looked like two little red and blue dots, it’s crazy how much more it has grown!

It’s hard to believe that she is already nearly a foot long; I’m also starting to notice that her kicks and punches are getting stronger and stronger.  She is mostly active at night right before bed and in the middle of the night still, and seems to be sleeping or resting a lot during the day.  This little girl may have her days and nights confused but I guess most newborn babies do!

17 weeks left!
