We hit the 25 week mark today! Hard to believe! Time is flying so fast...
We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up). I weighed in at a whopping 109.8! My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special! Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!). Kevin's response "WHOA!" And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!" Ha! So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain! I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense).
The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle." Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol! I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha!
The doctor measured my tummy and everything is right on track! I was surprised to learn my uterus is so high (around my rib cage). The last appt. is was around my belly button... amazing things sure are happening. Then he checked baby's position and let us listen to his heart beat on the doppler. It was so loud and strong. The doctor said it's a healthy and strong heart beat, just what we're looking for!
We ended the appointment with a discussion on choosing a pediatrician (the doc was shocked to hear I've already done this) and a heads up on our appointment schedule (one more monthly appt., then a three week appt., then two week appts and finally ONE week appts. until Baby F makes his appearance). We also discussed all of Baby F's tests which have all come back negative (thank God!).
I asked him about my back and tail bone pain (which kept me up from 2am-6am this morning). He said not much I can do (massages, heat, warm baths, etc.--which is everything I've already been doing). He explained the tail bone pain is likely due to the injuries I've sustained to it in the past. I guess most tail bones sort of move out of the way, but when you've injured them previously, they sort of lock into place, thus causing pain. He said HOPEFULLY it will move out of the way during labor (I hope so too--I've heard of women breaking their tail bones during labor--ouch!). As far as the back pain he said it's just my back trying to compensate for the tummy which I already knew.
So, I guess I endure it! Fine by me, I just know this little guy will be worth it! All is well! Next appt. is April 15th (tax deadline day!) then we'll have an appt. again 3 weeks later and again every 2 weeks after that! Classes also start next month so we'll be very busy! Keep checking back in on us, we'll post updates as we continue along this amazing journey. Until then, here are some photos from today to mark the 25 week point (I am starting to show w/ my shirt covering, so I took a little bit of both).

He is on this side so that is why I am larger than the above photo and lopsided
Can you see him? We're getting good at it!

You got it right, he sure is! I feel like he really is trying to get out of there sometimes, lol. Guess he's having fun in there, huh?!
Your ticker is dangerously close to 100 days..amazing how fast time is going (at least for the rest of us)!
