26 weeks

Our next appointment with the midwife is on Thursday.  It was supposed to be today, but it was cancelled because our midwife was called away to a birth.  So, Thursday it is!

I've been feeling okay lately.  Not great, but okay.  Last Friday was my work's annual fun day.  This year, it was a road rally/scavenger hunt for most of the day and then in the late afternoon, a local cruise.  There were 7 teams total and my team got second place!  Then spouses and kids joined us for dinner.  What a great day! 

I have less than 10 weeks of work left - the countdown is on!

25 weeks

Wow, only 15 weeks to go!  I have less than 2 weeks left in the 2nd trimester.  The 1st trimester seemed to drag by, and the 2nd has gone by so quickly!

We had a wonderful vacation.  We spent some time getting the baby room all set up.  We sorted through all our baby clothes and separated anything that is gender neutral.  So, we're all set for awhile no matter which gender the baby is!  We also did some fun things too like we went to Ikea, I got my hair done, and we took Julie to the zoo and minigolfing.  Her first time mini-golfing and she got 2 hole in ones!

Back to work as of yesterday.  Boo.  But, I am starting the countdown until my mat leave.  Only 11 weeks of work left!

Only 16 weeks to go :)

Hubby and I are on holidays this week and it is glorious.  Really makes me realize even more how stressed I have been lately at work.  With that stress gone, I feel like a whole new woman!  Can't wait until I can say goodbye to work and go on mat leave.  Only 11 weeks left of work - the countdown begins!

Everything has been going well with the baby.  Lots of kicks - last week, hubby felt the baby kick for the first time.  Kicks are getting stronger :)

23 weeks

Every week gets a little closer to baby time! I am thinking my last day of work will be November 2nd, so less than 3 months to go!
We had an appointment with the midwife last week to go over the ultrasound results. Everything is normal and due date according to ultrasound is December 3rd, so very close to what we thought, so our due date won’t change. Midwife says due date is December 5th, but I say the 4th because of the leap year.

The only issue is the low lying placenta, but even then, it is not a real concern at this time. It is close to the threshold of where it wouldn’t even require follow up. But, since it is just below the threshold, I will go for a quick follow up in late September/early October just to check to make sure it has moved. There is a 96% change it will move and everything will be a-ok and it won’t require a C-section.

We had a wonderful long weekend at the cottage. Lots of swimming and time together with my parents. My bro and his wife came for a day and family friends came for a day, so it was a great weekend.

I am so looking forward to my week of holidays next week! Both CT and I need a serious break from work.
