We are 22 weeks! Over the half way and on the countdown to due date.
At today's ultrasound, baby girl was kicking and punching me for the first half of the scan. She was, however, in her favorite position, upside down with her face down really low. The tech said she has tons of room to stretch out but she was curled up in tight ball. She would kick or punch then curl back up.
The tech took as many measurements as she could. baby girl is measuring right on track. Her heart and internal organs all look good.. The tech got a few brain measurements but not all the ones she needed. The doctor said from the measurements they got baby looks good. Nothing to worry about!
The doctor I saw today was more chill than the last one I saw who practically scared me with all the possible preterm labor risks. This doctor was like everything is good, nothing to worry about! Everything is so good that I am not scheduled to go back for another look for 6 more weeks. That will be the longest I will go without seeing baby. They just want to keep checking that she continues to grow at the right rate. This something that they are only concerned with because she was conceived using IVF.
Since baby was up in ball, estimate was that she in 11.25 in long and weighs 1.1 lbs. Completely normal and average for her age, She's not big and she's not small. I'm kind of glad she isn't measuring big anymore. Hopefully, she wont end up being over 8 pounds.
I am weighing in at a 10 pound gain now... yay... not terrible for 22 weeks though. Belly is for sure looking pregnant. Not being able to hide it at work anymore.
Greg and I are going to AZ for the weekend to see the families and our new niece.
Here'e a pic of my bump for 22 weeks. Not sure if I'll get a pic like I usually do.
My next appt is in 2 weeks with the OB so that wont be anything exciting, I suppose. The doctor today mentioned getting my thyroid retested but didn't give me a test slip so not sure when that will be done again. Probably in 2 weeks or so.
After that appt it will be another month till the next ultrasound so I won't have anything to update with until then.
Since, we have reached the halfway mark we finally started getting the baby's room ready. Greg got the room all painted except for the stripes on one wall. I'll post pics once its finished. The room is a mess with painting supplies still. I ordered her crib that should be in the end of May/June. We still need to find a dresser and a chair. But its coming together slowly.
We still have no name picked out for baby girl. Greg is not very cooperative (kinda like baby), We have short list nothing picked out for sure.
Until next time.....
