Happy Hallowe’en!

Tomorrow is hallowe’en, and the kidlets are so excited 🙂 My kids are going to be Anna, Thor, and a gladiator.

  
Emby was so excited, s/he thought it would be great to get in on the fun too!

  
Haha. We are all excited for trick or treating tomorrow 🙂

Today we had our monthly ultrasound and OB appointment.  Emby is looking great, and at 24 weeks and 1 day along, is already measuring in at a whopping 1lb 11oz! My IPs are starting to feel like this is actually real. It was great to see them at the appointment today, and we saw some amazing images. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get a good pic of it, but we saw a great, almost 3D looking angle of Emby’s face. S/he is looking very cute!! Here is a profile shot, showing Emby all curled up with his/her legs over the head!

  
I also did my gestational diabetes screen last week, and passed with flying colours. My iron is a little low, but that’s all. So a simple iron supplement for 4 weeks, and I should be good to go. This pregnancy is just flying by!

22 weeks

Today I am 22 weeks pregnant. Since we are planning an induction at 38 weeks, that means I have only 16 weeks left! I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy is flying by. Emby is starting to get big now. I’m feeling the kicks and punches much more lately. They feel strong enough that I think I should be able to feel them from outside, but Emby is being a little stinker, and stops moving every time I put my hand on my belly 😊 I am still feeling great, and marvelling in how easy this pregnancy has been so far. Other than a slight backache now and then, and the occasional random bout of vomiting, I feel great! I am starting to get very excited for my IPs. We have almost reached viability! I have hired a doula, who I am looking forward to working with, and my IPs have hired a birth photographer, which I’m also very excited about! Pregnancy wise there is nothing much going on, so that’s about all 😊 I will leave you with a belly picture from yesterday ☺️
