22, 23, 24......


We have been so busy the last month...time is flying by....and we (baby and I) are growing!

I am so blessed that this pregnancy has been so great so far! A little recap of our weeks!

Week 22
We traveled to Washington, D.C. Jordan was chosen to represent Texas radiology residents to travel to D.C. and work with the lobbyists that help fight for Radiologists. Jordan was able to meet Harry Reid, and a bunch of other senators and representatives. He went to "the hill," had many business lunches and dinner while I played in DC. It was a ton of fun, and I am working through my 150+ pictures.

Week 23
Back home from DC, this week was normal with work. I went back to the doctor for my glucose tolerance test. I was a little nervous, mostly scared, I wouldn't be able to have any ice cream after this visit (I made sure to have my fair share in DC and the night before : ) ) The test went great and actually I was hypoglycemic about 45 min after I left the doctor's office. I ended up scarfing down an entire package of gummy bears. Needless to say, I don't have gestational diabetes! SO relieved.

Week 24
On the road again! We headed to Biloxi to see everyone. We went during the week since my work schedule is mostly weekend days. We relaxed, worked on a couple of things for baby, and mostly received belly rubs. Baby girl received much love!

I am still feeling more body than kicks when it comes to baby girl, she still gives me a jab every now and then but she's not too rough...yet. Apparently she still has room in there. I feel her most at 5am and late afternoon (4-5pm). I feel her when I am standing in my patient's rooms just talking with them. One day after running from patient room to patient room, I finally sat down to chart at the desk and she went crazy kicking me : )

This week, I am 25 weeks pregnant and I am still feeling great. I definitely understand why women say the second trimester is so wonderful. You get used to the belly, get some energy back, and feel normal. Except for the weird looking pants, I forget I am pregnant.....until I get a sweet love tap from baby girl of course.
