25 weeks! Now with a pic!

I can't believe I only have 15 more weeks until my due date! I admit that the past few weeks have dragged, but I think that had more to do with so much sickness that was going on in our house. We all finally seem to be on the mend, thank goodness. C is still on antibiotics but he's almost back to 100%. Emma still has a small cough and last night was complaining of her ear hurting but nothing about that this morning before PreK. I REALLY want to stay out of the doctors office for a bit since we've been there 3 times over the past month. That wouldn't bother me except we just switched doctors and I don't want them to get the impression that we are there all the time!


Weight gain ~ Eh. I weighed myself on the Wii last Wednesday, which was the 3 week mark on that. I'd gained 3.7lbs at that point, so a little ahead of the l pound a week I am wanting. I have my appointment on Thursday, so I'll know official weight gain at that point. Even if I gain a pound or two over what I want, I'm still going to be quite a bit under what I was with C at this point...and WAY under what I was with Em. So it's all good. ;) Fundal height is measuring right around 24.5-25cm, so perfect as usual. I can still remember way back at weeks 12-13 when I could feel my uterus peaking up over my pelvic bone and now it reaches up to my rib cage. :)


Movement ~ I'm starting to get those types of movement where you can feel them in multiple places in your belly. Like, a kick that I can feel way down by my uterus AND up around my belly button. It's fun, but can kind of shock you sometimes. I find that if I wake up and immediately have to get going, it can be an hour or so before I feel any movements. I guess just all the motion after me being asleep for so long rocks Dec to sleep, although I do have little moments where I'm all "why haven't I felt you yet?". It never fails that once I sit down and rest though, he's up and at 'em.


Irrational Fear this week ~ Nothing! Yay! All my worrying has to do with the fact that we have done nothing - I repeat NOTHING - to get ready for this baby. We have the car seat picked out, it's just a matter of when we want to spend all that money on one. Clothes wise I'm waiting until I get my butt in gear and start going through C's old clothes. We do have one onesie that we got for Declan. It has a big "D" on it and will match Em and C's initial shirts. I'm thinking a photo shoot will be in order in those. I plan on nursing and still have my nursing bras and pump from my last baby. I'm not even going to buy bottles yet as I hope to not introduce them until he's closer to a month. Crib/crib bedding from C can be used, we already have a double stroller, baby carrier (although I do need an infant insert for the Ergo) etc. So, we really don't have a lot to do. Only problem is that we've done squat for the things we DO need to do. 
I'm also worried about getting our 4D ultrasound scheduled. We didn't do it with our other two and I always said that I wanted that experience with our last pregnancy. Only problem - the price. It's hard to justify $175 for some pics of a baby we will eventually see here in about 3.5 months, you know? Sad thing is that that $175 is actually the best deal I've found. 30 minutes, 8 pictures, and the cd of the whole thing. So.......decisions.


This past weekend I got the kids Easter pics done, and while I've only seen a few teaser pics, I am in love with them! I know I'm biased, but my kids are definitely the cutest. :)


Up next: Diabetes test on Thursday. Gag.


ETA: I had totally forgot that I had taken a recent belly picture. This was taken at 24w 5d, but I'm calling it a 25w pic because my belly better not had grown much in 1.5 days! LOL
