22 week ultarsound




22 Weeks!! Wow...This pregnancy is really flying by...The IP's were absolutely shocked at the size of the baby..there was a picture at the end of the bed where we were getting the ultrasound done with a "to size" 24 week baby and they couldn't believe little bean...or not so little was SO BIG already!! I looked it up and the baby is about the size of an eggplant!!


2 more weeks til the baby is viable!! Which HELLO AWESOME milestone!! We found out the baby is laying transverse (<----->)..but from what I have heard from other mama's this is really common in subsequent pregnancies..so little z...I'm just telling you this now...you better be head down by D day!

Birthing classes are going wonderfully...and I feeling really encouraged about having my planned VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). Although I am quite nervous about birthing in the hospital and really wish I could have a HVBAC...(home vaginal birth after c-section)...but I have an amazing support system and it's all ganna work out to be amazing!!

6 more weeks left in the 2nd trimester! Keep growing little z!!!

Any guesses on BOY or GIRL???

Half way!

It's amazing to think that we are FINALLY here... the 1/2 way point!!! The Midwife pointed out to us yesterday that in just 4 short weeks the baby is viable!! WOW!!! How beyond exciting is that!?!?

Baby and I are doing well..it's shifting and bumping about inside of me and waking me up thru the night to pee...making it's presence's very known!! Baby's heart beat is in the upper 150's...midwife was guessing girl...I still have a feeling its a boy...IP's are saying they don't want to know the sex of the little one...so guess we have to wait another 20+ weeks to find out!!!

We started our birthing classes last night and the IP's decided to attend...which is very exciting as I think it will help them to see the natural birth that I am going for!! Can't wait to see what the next 7 classes unfold and how they react to it all!

Hopefully I'll update soon with a picture..there's just not much belly to show off yet! :)
