25 Weeks

Here are some photos that Bri took last weekend. We have the darkroom in the basement now, so these were taken win b&w to that Brian can do some enlargements later. We are planning another photo session later, maybe 8 months. As you can see, a little bit of a growth spurt from 22 weeks. I have gained 15 lbs so far - the normal amount expected. I was joking with Bri that I think my rear has gotten a bit bigger to compensate for the front. Otherwise, I would just fall over.

The baby is steadily kicking now and I swear I can feel her kicks in two places at once. She must kick on one end ans then bounce to the other. Some of the kicks have been quite forceful, prompting me to make a sound or catch my breath. I am excited to see the ultrasound this week to get an idea of how big she is now. The books say 13 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 pounds.

I had a bit of a medical issue on Friday that turned out to be nothing. My endo called and said that one of my labs had come back at a critical level and suggested that I go right to the OB. The OB was suspicious of the blood work and sent me over to the hospital so that they could redraw the blood and get results the same day. Everything was fine with the 2nd draw. But, during that 4 hours, I was a little scared. I hope I can get these blood draw issues sorted out between the OB and the endo. Every month there seems to be a problem. Bas results, incorrect tests formed. It should not be this hard.
