I'm just a little behind on this and my sweet mother keeps reminding me of that...sorry Mom! Thought I'd do mostly pictures to catch up and then post the correct update for the week in its own post.
22 Weeks, 3 days - taken Sept 29th
We had started the building the week prior and decided to take this picture in front of the house because of the "construction" in the back! Justin felt Little Man move for the first time on the night prior to this (9/28). After we laid down I grabbed Justin's hand and he got to feel two good kicks. I was so excited for him to feel movement. It wasn't a lot but every other time we tried Little Man would quit moving. This weekend Justin's dad and step-mom came into town to help with the storage building. It was fun having them here for the weekend and it was the first time we had seen them since we found out we were pregnant.
23 weeks - taken October 4th
Not a lot was going on this week. Dad and Justin worked all week getting the building complete.
24 weeks - taken October 13th
Another fairly uneventful week. We took this before the San Francisco 49ers football game - I stole one of Justin's shirts so I'd have something 49ers to wear. Little Man moves more every day. We think he's a 49ers fan already - when we start watching the game he starts moving and kicking. Justin hasn't felt him move anymore although I feel it every day. When Little Man is moving I try to get Justin in time to feel it but he always stops moving.
Our church made apple butter on Saturday and some friends had their little girl there...she's 4 and a half months old. Justin changed his first diaper ever...he also fed her and put her to sleep twice. Seeing him with her makes me so excited to see our little guy in his daddy's arms. I have no doubt Justin is going to be an amazing dad.
25 weeks - taken October 20th
I think this might be my favorite picture so far! There's definitely no hiding this bump! I've had this sweater for several years and love it but I think the bump sticking out makes it even better!
This was a good week. We had our doctor's appointment on Monday (10/14). They just did measurements and listened to his heart beat. It was 157 bpm...he's an active little one. The appointment was at the end of the day and I think he knew we were going to hear his heart beat. He was move active than normal all day! The appointment was good - everything was right on track. Need to slow down on following my cravings but otherwise it's good! Our doctor & Justin spent more time talking about sports than talking to me - hope they remember to pay attention to me and Little Man if he's the one in the delivery room!!
I've been going to the chiropractor every other week and I'm so thankful for that. By the end of the two weeks I am ready for the adjustment to have some relief. I can tell my ribs are expanding but Little Man stays low so no kicks that high yet!
I started having a little more energy and have felt pretty good. I have decided the second trimester burst of energy I kept hearing about is a myth since I'm at the end and never experienced it!
The day we took this picture Justin got to feel Little Man move twice - the first time since the end of September.
Now...let's hope I can stay caught up instead of trying to remember things a month later. Pregnancy brain makes that almost impossible :-)
