Baby K Update!

So here I am at 25 weeks (+5 days) and thought since I just had a recent ultrasound and a recent OB appointment, I should give you all an update.

During the US, I was able to see our little peanut all curled up with his/her little arms AND little legs crossed.  If I didn't know any better, one might think Baby K is being defiant and saying "I don't want you looking at me!"  The cutest part of the US was being able to see Baby K's mouth moving...uh oh...could he/she be taking after mommy already? :)

Baby is measuring right on par and baby weight is estimated at 1lb.12oz.
All baby parts are present and accounted for and baby is in a head down position (whew!  Now just stay that way!).

I did get a few more pics, but again, I'm without a scanner here in Jax so US pics will have to wait until I get to Guam.

As for the OB appt, all is well there too.  Doc said I was measuring on par with my due date, fetal heart rate was assessed and I could hear that little heart beat just beating away!  My vital signs are still looking great and I hope to keep it that way.  My total weight gain so far at 25 weeks is 12 lbs., which is again, on par.

That's all I have for now!  17 more days to go until I depart for Guam.  Shortly after that we will be making the big reveal!  Yes, the envelope is still sealed :)

Here is a current pic of me (and baby) at the zoo on the day I turned 25 weeks.

Belly Pic!

This is my first blog belly pic.  This is me at 23 weeks.  I'll be 24 weeks starting tomorrow.  Have I mentioned how incredible difficult it is to take a picture of your own pregnant belly???

Top 10 Reasons I Need to go to Guam...Now.

10.  So I can stop spending money on a weekly basis at the post office as I find more stuff to ship to Guam to lighten my luggage (which my luggage ships for free on military orders when I fly out of here).

9.  Have an overwhelming desire to get the baby's nursery together

8.  I'm losing my patience here in Jax as evidenced by my encounter with the Thrifty rental car guy today who could not seem to understand that no amount of badgering me was going to get me to "upgrade at 50% off from an economy car to a compact or mid-size."  I am one person who hardly drives anywhere here in Jax.  Shut up and give me the damn keys.

7.  I get irritated when people suggest I go to the beach here in J-ville since I'm "so close".  I've been spoiled by the beauty of the ocean surrounding Guam.  Therefore, any mention of another beach only makes me want to slap people because nothing compares.  Atlantic Ocean=dump.

6.  I've watched more hours of stupid television in the past 9 weeks than a human should consume in a lifetime.

5.  My car is now on a barge heading to Guam...and I was tempted to hide in the back and ride that baby all the way there.

4.  Daylight Savings Time is going to screw up my talk time with my hubby since Guam does not participate.  Not happy.

3.  When I see or hear Kona on Skype I want to cry, especially when he responds to my voice.  I miss my pup!

2.  While Skype is great, I'm beyond ready to have a conversation with my husband while sitting next to him, on my own comfy couch...and having him massage my feet :)  I miss you Carlos!
