Time for another update after what feels like a long time since my last post. We did go on our two week trip to Germany, which was amazing! It was fun to do and experience new things. Being 6 months pregnant wasn't so bad while traveling except that Greg had to do all the heavy lifting of the luggage and Alex and I had to use the airplane bathroom about every hour.
On to the baby stuff. I had my OB check and specialist ultrasound check.
OB appointment was as usual quick and easy. Still gaining weight at what seems like a greater rate than I did with Alex. Not super happy about that. But other than that, all was good. I need to go get my glucose test done before my next appointment. Belly was measuring on track.
Then I had my ultrasound at the specialist's office. Little guy is doing great. He's measuring about a week ahead. 1 pound 13oz and 12.5 inches. He even cooperated for all the measurements they needed to get of him. And I got good news that the placenta has moved out of the way of my cervix so a c section is not necessary, unless something new comes up. That is a huge relief even though having a scheduled date would have been nice.
Little guy still has no name, though we haven't really talked it about it much. We should probably work on it soon. His room is coming along though. Greg has it all painted except for some finally touch ups. We got a dresser and I started sorting out all the hand me downs I got and the stuff left over from Alex. Alex has been trying to be helpful when I sort stuff out in his room. She's very interested in his toys and that she wants to hold her brother and help put him in the crib.
I'm still working on the decor but decided on space theme. I did get a star mobile for over the crib. Like the butterfly one I had over Alex's crib. Already in full nesting mode. Seems worse than it was with Alex but maybe that's just because I have more to clean and more going on. I still want to get the carpets cleaned, clean the curtains and crib skirt, sheets and the clothes that I have for little guy. Also been in full deep cleaning mode for the rest of the house too. Though that's slow going with our trips.
Only 15 more weeks and we have so much going on before baby arrives. Alex's birthday and a trip to Az to celebrate with family, Alex starting up with her activities again, dance, swim and starting preschool. Greg's birthday and a new nephew arriving. Hoping we are ready ish before baby comes!
