We met our new doctor yesterday and are in love! We spent an hour with him going through our chart from start to finish and never once felt rushed. He also gave us an U/S right there on the spot (free of charge) and told us that there is absolutely no reason to have concerns about growth. After reviewing the notes in our chart, he discovered that there was an old note from our 17 week anatomy scan that was never updated. Apparently Caroline was sucking her thumb and the U/S tech couldn’t get a good scan of her face/lips so she simply wrote “re-scan for growth” on my chart and it was never updated (or explained to us). So when another nurse saw me 8 weeks later she thought there were growth concerns based on our chart which scared us. But everything is great and we feel incredibly thankful and blessed to finish out this pregnancy with our new team!
How far along: 24 weeks…and in a blink of an eye, we are 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. I can’t believe how fast the time has flown by!
Baby Size: An ear of corn (8.5 inches, 1.5 pounds)!
Weight gain: Up another pound this week – 17 pounds total!
Maternity clothes: Totally. And I am getting so excited about all of the spring clothes I’ve been seeing lately too. I also ordered my maternity dress for my baby shower and am so excited!
Stretch marks: Earlier this week as I was laying down on the couch {in my tank top that only comes to my belly button now} Matt sighed and said “aww! Christina! I think I see your first stretch mark!” in the most endearing voice ever. I think he thought that would excite me but I’m sure you can imagine my response and my facial expression. Not to mention, the “stretch mark” he thought he saw was a faint beige line that was left over from the one and only growth spurt I had when I was 12 years old. ha.
Sleep: Waking up a lot to Caroline dancing around 4 am every day this week. I don’t mind though because I’ve wished so badly for these movements to come and now they are here – such blessings! To put her back to sleep I’ve been turning on some lullabies on my headphones and it seems to soothe her so mama can get some rest!
Gender: One look in her closet and it is extremely obvious. We are officially on pink dress overload! Thanks Mom!
Movement: Oh yes! For the first time this week Matt was finally able to feel Caroline kick. It is so surreal to feel it from the other side of my tummy now. Our new doc also informed us that I have an anterior placenta…no wonder it took me so long to feel those first kicks!
Best moment this week: Meeting our new doctor and registering for baby gear!
Looking forward to: Our babymoon this weekend in Charleston!
Food cravings: Eggs, orange juice, cereal, bbq and salads.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Labor Signs: No
What I miss: Getting in and out of the car easier. Since I am so short my steering wheel is close to my belly which makes getting out of the car sort of difficult.
Symptoms: Nothing really this week.
Nursery: We started shopping for a white dresser this weekend and had no luck, so the hunt continues for that. However, we did fill her closet and finish some touch-ups on our accent wall!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Happy!
Workouts: 3 elliptical workouts and 1 cardio funk class!
Prayer for Caroline:
Dear Lord, It’s amazing how You think of everything. You’ve placed each part where it should be. As Caroline’s basic structures of her inner ear continues to develop this week, I pray for good hearing and that you keep her ears safe. Help her not to get earaches, as many young children do. I also pray that you give her a generous heart. There is no greater joy than giving to others, so help us to teach Caroline about generosity at an early age. Thank you for our sweet little girl. In Your name, Amen.
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. – Proverbs 11:25
