20 week update!

Friday was our 20 week mark, and also our big visit to the doctor. We had an ultrasound anatomy scan, appointment, and glucose test. 

Baby is a big girl, measuring in at 20 weeks 3 days, and weighing 14.2oz. She is healthy and is resting her head on my pelvis/cervix, so that is why I'm feeling so much pressure. Today I am very uncomfortable, so I am going to go home and put my legs up and try to help her get up a little higher. Bah. 

I also have an anterior placenta, so I do not think I'll feel cosnistent movements for a while. Sometimes when I'm laying propped up in bed I think I feel her, but when I put my hand on my stomach it stops. So who knows. 

In a few months time  I will most likely need to wear the support belt frequently, and the doctor recommended chiropractor time to get my hips evened out, since she thinks that is where my calf pain is coming from. 

All in all, it was a great check-up. Our baby girl is stunningly pretty and we are in love with her sooo much. Now we just have to get through 4.5 more months, and she will be here.

Taking it a day at a time and trying to stay calm even when it feels like she is trying to drill her way out of my abdomen.  

My weight also stayed steady at 300 lbs. Now that we have a good report and better weather on the way, walking will become our utmost priority. She didn't check my cervix, so I am still a bit concerned about that, but she didn't seem worried, so I won't be worried. For now, we just kind of are in a holding pattern as we see what happens. Still taking it day-by-day, and trying to stay calm. 

I am so in love already. I am putting this in God's hands now, because all I can do is stay healthy and calm and let her grow strong. 

Also waiting on results of the glucose test.... hoping we either pass it with flying colors, or bomb it miserably so we don't have to go back for the three hour test. Cause that would NOT be fun.
