Baby Belly Photo Shoots

Here are weeks 24, 25 and 26!

So, some exciting (and not so exciting) events from the past couple of weeks ... Firstly, I failed my one-hour glucose tolerance test. Yes, not so exciting. But, I passed the three-hour test, which means no gestational diabetes for me! Yay!

Also, I just discovered this week that I can hear the baby's heartbeat with my stethoscope - so cool! And he likes to kick the stethoscope when I have it on my belly.

26 weeks (Mike made me do "jazz hands" for the picture ... yeah)

Getting Bigger!

Or as Mike likes to say, I am a pregosaurus. Yes, he's a dear. So, technically I am 24 weeks today, but I needed to catch up on the last couple of weeks - so here is the baby belly at 22 and 23 weeks!

So there you have it! It's pretty exciting to be at 24 weeks - only 16 weeks to go!! Yay!! Baby boy is also now "viable," as everyone in the NICU loved to tell me last month ... I prefer to not think of him that way. The NICU is not a fun place for a pregnant lady to be. So glad I'm out of there! He is definitely getting stronger ... he can pack a pretty good punch! Little stinker. :)
