25 Weeks

Not much to report. I am feeling more movement now.  Mikey has felt the baby move, but not the kiddos. Every time I have felt him move, and I tell the kids to come feel, he stops moving around.  They all are excited to feel him, and JR asked me all the time if I can feel him move.  I hope they can start feeling him soon.  I have a dr. appt next week, and I get to do the glucose screening.  I hope its not too bad.   I loved the way they did it in Mississippi, they used to just let me drink a soda before my appt.  But in SL and I am sure here too, I will have to drink one of their drinks, which are usually disgusting.  Hoping that I pass and all is well.  My dr. said that he will let me have another u/s in about a month.   It is strange to think that had I not miscarried before, I could have a baby in my arms right now.  I was due in Jan, but with the way that I go at least a week early with all my kids, its a good chance the baby would have been here by now.  I am ready to meet this little guy and not be pg anymore, but for whatever reason, this little boy is supposed to come in the spring, so I will have to be patient.

Here is my most recent belly shot, from last week, so 24 weeks.

Halfway there!

20 weeks

19 weeks

Today I am 19 weeks.  There is not a whole lot to report.  I feel pretty good.  Just the usual aches and pains of a growing baby inside of me.  I have felt the baby move.  But it has been just a little bit.  It still concerns me that I haven't felt him move more.  I am sure everything is fine, but I can't help be curious why I don't seems to feel him as much as with my other pregnancy.  I know he is still tiny in there, and there is a lot of cushioning, but I expected to feel him more by now.  Hopefully the movement everyday will come soon. We do have a name for our little boy.  Stanley Michael.  Stanley is for Mike's uncle and Michael is of course for Mike and Papa G.  He will be our only child that has a family name for both his first and middle name.  I somehow have always know we would have a little Stanley.  Mike has wanted to use that name for awhile now.  I probably need to start taking some belling pics soon.  Probably next week, when I am half way.

It's a boy!!!

The boys are really excited, Annie really doesn't care or understand what is going on.  Everything looked great and I am measuring 18 weeks and 3 days.  There was a little bit of fluid in the kidneys, which my dr. said not to worry about, but that it would give him a reason to look again later on.  So I will probably get another u/s, which is cool.  The new technology is cool, but I think he didn't get as many good shots as he could have or might have, if the baby was bigger.  He kept covering his face with his hands so it was hard to get a good face pic, but it was still cool to see and I am hoping that when I have my next u/s maybe the face pics will be better.  There was one really cute pic with the baby's mouth open like he was singing, so the dr. typed in Fa La La La La .  I think I might use that for our christmas cards this year.

Here are some pics.

16 weeks!!

I am 16 weeks and everything is going well.  Saw the dr. yesterday, they found the heartbeat easily and beating at 156 bpm.  I still haven't felt any movement, but I am expecting that at any time.  Can't wait, it's my favorite things about being pg.  All the morning sickness is gone.  So happy to not feel sick anymore, so grateful that I am one of those people that the morning sickness leaves after the first trimester and doesn't linger the whole time.  Only 2 weeks away and we can find out what we are having. So excited to find out.  I really don't know this time, don't have any feelings or anything about it, so just want to take a look and see what we see.
