26 weeks!! and the dreams begin...

I had my first dream about giving birth!!! It was awesome and pain free! :) I remember saying "wow that only took about 5 minutes" and my sister (Nikki), looking at her watch, said "actually it was a bit longer than that". I was looking at peanut thinking.. hmm he doesn't look like either me or Dave... and he was sitting up, laughing and already had 3 teeth coming in!! I'm sure this will be the first of many strange dreams about peanut :)

Peanut is moving around almost all the time it seems now! I was taking a bath last night and I could see different parts of my stomach moving as he was.. it was pretty cool :)

26 weeks pic - 146.6 lbs.. I seem to be gaining 1.8lbs a week!

25 weeks!

FYI: I have updated my previous post with the correct measurements from my 20 week ultrasound so make sure you go back and take a look :)

25 weeks already! I can feel peanut moving around almost all the time now! Mostly when I'm sitting or laying down. It is such a wonderful feeling and I try to picture what he is doing... sometimes it feels like he is doing somersaults but he is probably just moving around to get a different view ;)

I went to a baby shower yesterday and everyone that didn't know me said they would have never guessed I was pregnant... hopefully by the time I have my baby shower I will look pregnant!! :)

I had another massage today and had my first belly massage... and Indian head massage!! It was luuuuv-ly!

25 weeks - 144.8 lbs (sorry about the brown top and brown background.. I wasn't trying to blend in!)

Radiology scan results

So I had my 24 week appt on the base today... probably the last appt on base! I signed the referral to switch care with an independent midwife. After lots of research we decided to have a home birth! We are very excited and looking forward to the wonderful experience :)

Results: CORRECTIONS in bold! and I left the measurements I posted before which were a bit off :o)
Head circumference (not diameter... lol) = 18.7cm (not 16cm) - will probably have a big brain like daddy :)
Waist circumference = 15.95cm (not 13cm)
Femur length = 3.3cm (I was close with 3cm!)
Estimated Weight = 379 grams/13.36 oz (not 347 grams) ~ 51 percentile

Estimated due date from the ultrasound: 2nd July

Today at my appointment...
Peanut's heart beat = 135bpm
My blood pressure = 104/61

I also asked for pics of his boy parts as we didn't get any since Dave didn't want to know... the doctor said it would be easier for her to do another ultrasound than to get them from radiology! So she did :) but I can't get my scanner to work!!! :( I will add them to this post as soon as I get it working! :)

Week 24 pics - 143.7 lbs on the wii fit.. but today at the drs I was 147 lbs.. big difference!! I think I might just buy a proper scale this weekend...
