A pain in the butt...

Status: 22 weeks


This last week I have had issues with my sacroiliac joint. It won't stay in place, and it seems that just a couple hours on my feet at work will set it off. Obviously, turning too quickly or moving just the right way does it, too.  I've been to the chiropractor 3 times in eight days to have it put back! 

Other than that, not too much else going on. Here's today's pic (after returning from the JCC pool):

Patience is a virtue

Status: 21w2d


Patience is a virtue that I try REALLY hard to be good at, but I'm just not. So as much as we were planning to stay on Team Green through the rest of this pregnancy I couldn't take the anticipation and, and I caved yesterday. 


As promised, we are announcing it with the hat (just not in the way I imagined)....

We

Are

On

Team

BLUE!!!!

Our anatomy scan went really well. He (that's fun to say!) is measuring 75% at approx 1lb. He is perfect in every way and slept right through the whole thing all curled up on his little pillow (aka placenta). He is vertex (head down) and completely anterior. Although I doubt it, I am hoping he will stay just as he is. I'm suspecting his position is why I actually look bigger than I ever have before. Here is my pic from Thursday:

Also, we had our 20 week midwife appointment on Monday. It was good. Bucky hated the doppler and swam away and kicked/pushed at it, but Brenda caught him and he had a beautiful heartbeat at 148. My blood pressure is still great, too! 

It's been a busy week, but lots of great things happening!

Happy Mother's Day!

Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and people who have moms, or had moms, or want to be moms, or know a mom....you get the idea! Bucky enjoyed all the Mother's Day and birthday festivities at our house and was super active today when I got to lay around for a couple hours after everyone left. Another reminder of the miracle of being a mom!

Half Way there!!

20 Weeks today!

 Well, TECHNICALLY we have reached the 1/2 way point today. I say technically because you really don't know where the halfway mark actually is until the pregnancy is over. With Eli it would have been 19w1.5d and with Talia it would have been 20w2.5d. For some, it could be as short as 12 weeks or as long as 21. Guess we'll find out eventually....20 weeks (give or take) from now!

19 Weeks!

Not much to report. Bucky has been moving around quite a bit, but I haven't had any more kicks or punches to my hand. I've been a busy bee, so not surprised. Here's my updated picture from today....don't you just love the outfit? We're really very stylish nurses (and I look really excited, don't I?....lol)....
