25 Weeks

We are now 25 weeks along in this amazing pregnancy.  We had an appointment two days ago, and our little girl is still very active, moving around and shaking her stuff all over the screen:)  They didn't do any measuring of her length, but hopefully next time they'll be able to tell us how she is measuring (there was a medical student performing the ultrasound, and she didn't do some of the checks that our doctor normally does.)  Anyway, I think she had a heart rate of 143, which our doctor said is perfect. She has lots of fluid to give her space to practice her acrobatics.  The next appointment is September 28th, and Lady L will have her glucose test then.  I'll be there cheering her on, and will bring some things to pass the time.

Lady L is doing well.  She has had some swelling in her ankles, and the heat/humidity hasn't helped that any.  But she has a great attitude, and is looking marvelous.  There is no question that she is pregnant, and she really looks amazing!  I'll post a few pictures.  She and her kids have such a great outlook on this journey, and we are so happy for that.

This week was my last week of summer.  I have been in my classroom a lot, but still have a long way to go.  Monday is our first official day of workshop week, and the kiddos start on September 4th.  I am of course a little sad to see summer go, but I am so incredibly anxious for December to get here, and I know we have to get through the fall in order for winter to arrive. 

We have most things ready for our daughter to arrive.  Her nursery is nearly complete, and a few of the bigger things that we have been waiting on getting we will wait until closer to her due date.  I have been sewing and making some fun things for her to have when she is ready.  I will be taking 12 weeks off of work to hang out with her at home, and we are hoping to find someone who will stay with her (one on one) until my summer break, which is about 3 months later.  Then, next fall, we will likely bring her to a child care center or an in home daycare. 



 
I told you she looks great:)
 
As always,  we appreciate sharing this very special experience with us.  We are truly blessed. Xoxo.
