27th Week

How far along? 

In my 27th week

Best moment this week: 

I love laying and watching Jude move my stomach all around and move things if I lay them on it.

Movement: 

Very strong now, and I feel him through out the day and night.

Symptoms: 

My back has been hurting. I've been SO tired. But I also have a cold so that may be playing into my lack of sleep right now. I still feel generally comfortable at this point except when I walk a lot I get kinda dizzy.

Food cravings: 

Mini Chicken Sandwich's from Sams Club. I eat them everyday for lunch lol

Food aversions: 

none yet I've been lucky

Gender: 

My sweet little BOY
.

Random:

Jude loves to be read to and music he goes crazy. He loves when we sing happy together to him as well lol.

25th week

So this week I started my 25th week.  I can't believe we only have approx 15 weeks until we meed little Jude. I had my follow up ultrasound on July 3rd and it went really well. They saw all the chambers and arteries they couldn't see for his heart last time due to his position perfectly this time. The Dr said his heart and everything else was beautiful and he was doing great from what they can tell. He weighed about 1.8 lbs( BIG guy lol) Which is in the 55 percentile per the Dr which means he's perfectly average and perfectly on track.  My  sugars have been under such good control I don't have to go back to my specialist until I'm 36 weeks to do a growth ultrasound unless something happens. Here are a few pictures from Tuesday...

Still a BOY!

Profile Shot

Little Lips and nose peaking out lol

I go back to Dr McArthur my normal Dr on July 16th and as of then I will be going every other week instead of once a month. Also my baby shower is July 28th which I can't WAIT for lol.

25TH WEEK

I already look huge, but I've only gained 10 lbs and Jude is right on track so that's all that matters lol.. Or so I keep telling myself lol

6 months

So last Tuesday( 06.19.12 ) we were officially 6 months! I had  a Dr appointment with my regular OBGYN Dr McArthur and she said I was measuring right on track and Jude's heart beat in the 140's. I also send my blood sugars to my Specialist Dr Harper once a week and she says the are PERFECT. So everything is moving right along. 

             With summer moving in it has been miserable hot and I've found the the pool does wonders for you when your pregnant lol. So we;ve been spending many evenings and weekends at moms swimming. I may be in the beginning stages of driving Alan crazy as my nesting habit sets in haha. I've been cleaning the house like crazy. I can't believe Jude will be here in 16ish weeks.  

              We feel so blessed God seen fit to bless is with our little miracle baby and Can't wait to meet him!!! He's really been kicking up a storm lately. He is really active from about 9:30 am-11am. Then starts up about 12 and goes through sleep and active periods up until about 6:30. Then I typically don't feel him again till the next morning. On the weekend I don't feel him move NEAR as much. But I thinks its because I'm more active and not just sitting at my desk at work...

WEEK 23

   Also here are the 3 pictures from Jude's Ultrasound May 30th. I got back on July 3rd to have a follow up since they couldn't get a good view of all his heart chambers. The little booger wouldn't cooperate near the end of the ultrasound lol.

Little Legs

Confirmed he's a boy lol

Week 21

Thought I haven't decided if it should be called Week 21 or week bloated lardo lol.. Because that's what I've felt like ALL week!

How far along? 

In my 21st week

Best moment this week: 

Feeling Jude's movements get stronger.

Movement: 

It's still on and off but I'm starting to feel more defined bumps, and kicks.

Symptoms: 

Tired, and my nose ALWAYS stuffs up at night.

Food cravings:

Food aversions:

I've quit drinking my OJ at night. I still want it SO bad but its just got way to much sugar. So because I cannot drink water at night I've substituted with low calorie gatorade and its hits the spot.

Jude's Room

So I spent most my memorial day making decorations for Jude's room. I made his name and a cool mobile. We started decorating and it was really fun. I can't wait to continue to add stuff to it. Our theme is kinda Vintage Black/White base colors.

Baby stuff Yay

So Today my mom ordered the playpen for Jude. He will be sleeping in our room to start in the playpen.

Its a BOY!!!

So we went to Visions of Life Yesterday for our Gender ultrasound. It came a horrible storm while we were waiting so we ended up being super early to avoid having to drive around and kill time in the rain. When we went back Jude would not move he was balled and no matter how much she prodded and poked he would flinch a little but would not budge. 

This is the position he was staying in.

I had some grape juice so she asked me to drink it an see if it would get him moving. After about 5 minutes he started stretching out a little and moving around. She got a couple shots but they are hard to see becasue as soon as she'd stop to take a picture he'd turn lol.

After about 15 minutes he decided to give us a peek which she called Boy( and i didn't see lol)

And finally gave us a quick peek then closed up again. 

It had quit storming when he started moving and as soon as we got the shot it came a huge clap of thunder and he balled back up... Erica the tech was telling us she doesn't know what causes it but she said if its storming she KNOWS its going to be a hard day because they just ball up and get comfy lol.

So we are happy to announce in 153 day( give or take of course) We will get to meet our little one Jude Elijah Wright!!
