*Week 25*

So let'say it loud... 25 WEEKS!!!

 ^^^In my PJ's^^

\/ \/ \/ Ready for work! \/ \/ \/

So I worked the weekend during week 25, and it was a doozy. We ended up sending home all of our patient, and were sent home around 4:30. I was on call all day Sunday, and slept... ALOT. I was exhausted. I think little missy was doing her thang and growing alot that day... Daryl cleaned alot and shampooed the carpet in the spare room to get it ready to be Camryn's room. He is working so hard to get it ready and I am so grateful<3 Monday was Memorial Day, and once again we all just stayed home and hung out. Cam has been doing somewhat better with listening, so it's getting easier. But yet again, I had a NICE nap while snuggling with my girl :)

So, Daryl and I struggled with the decision to do a registry for our second baby girl. We asked around and EVERYONE said to absolutely do one. It's been 4 years since we were pregnant and alot has changed, stuff has gotten old. We simply need some new things. Only about 4 things would be over $100... the rest are small things we need, like bibs, burp cloths, bottle nipples, etc. So, we will spread the word once we get around to doing that!

So, like I mentioned above, I slept alot this week... I really think baby was going through a growth spurt. She was pleasantly active but I was TIRED. So, I embraced my alone time and slept. Growing a human is hard work!! :)

Then... DUN DUN DUN!! Thursday we had a doctor's appt (my 24wk appt). Most of my appointments are falling at almost a week late this pregnancy, but that's ok. I am staying on track at every 4 wks, but soon we will be at every 2... can you believe that?!... Anyway, this was our follow up US appointment from 20weeks, to check baby's heart and my placenta placement. I found out that even though this is a follow up, I still have to pay out of pocket again for the US... Another $150. Daryl just sighed and said 'Babe, it has to be done. We will be fine', He's very supportive and that's so important to me. Atleast we will meet my deductible by the time baby is born!! haha So... her heart is perfect. She was trying to be stubborn again but the ultrasound tech had me maneuver myself so that she could get a different angle and she got great views. WE ARE FINE!! <<Sighs of relief>>. Now, my placenta hasn't moved. Still close to the cervix, so my doc wants me to do ultrasounds at 30wks and 36wks, as well. It's fine... we have to monitor this, so we have no choice. She was serious and said she highly recommends it, so we will do it. My BP was good... 130/82, I believe. NOT BAD FOR ME!! My next appointment is the day before our vacation, Thurs, June 25, at 0900... the dreaded glucose testing. We are moving right along, though!! And below are some of our ultrasound pics from this week. Enjoy!!

The top picture was a 'quick glance' of a 3d view... she is looking to the right. Her ear is the easiest body part to see, so that may help. 

The bottom picture is her sweet little foot.<3
