Doctor Appt.

I had a check up today and all is looking well. I am still measuring ahead (26 weeks today). Baby's heart rate was in the 140s. I'm thankful to be having "boring" appointments!

24 Week Belly

My ever growing belly... I had the first stranger ask me when I was due the other day! At least it's looking like a pregnant belly and not just some extra pudge around the waist.

Statistics

Below are the statistics for the survival rate of infants born prematurely. Since I am at risk for premature labor, I continue to check on the survival rate of the baby at each stage. I am so thankful to already be at 24 weeks. Obviously, I would not want the baby to be born yet, but at least I know there's a chance of survival and that chance keeps increasing with each day from here on out!

New pictures of baby

I had an ultrasound a couple days ago and all is looking well. The baby is still measuring a couple weeks ahead(I think we may just have a big baby on our hands!). His estimated weight was 1 pound 5 ounces. It was so fun to see our little one again and so reassuring to know he's doing well.

Face Shot



I think he's going to be a thinker!

My belly has really grown in the last couple weeks. My appetite really increased just in time for the Holidays. See the effects below:
