I had our second appointment with our favorite midwife on Wednesday. We had seen her for our very first appointment where we got to see the baby at 7 weeks and confirm a heartbeat, etc. It was great to be back with her and I plan on seeing her until the end. We got a good report on Shmu and received our 3rd trimester packet with all sorts of papers to fill out. We've got to register for the birth, write out our birth plan and choose a pediatrician among a few other things. We also got a list of classes we can sign up and attend, including a hospital tour. It seems that all of a sudden we're thinking and planning for baby's arrival... and that is so fun but just a tad bit crazy!!
This past week I've felt this baby grow stronger and stronger and it seems so real that we'll have a baby and not some alien or dragon thing. In other words, Shmu feels like a real baby and the kicks are taking my breath away, literally! This baby's most recent favorite recreational activity includes kicking off of my ribcage and exercising its legs back and forth. This just feels marvelous to mom, as you can imagine! Still, it's fun to feel how much this little one has grown! Speaking of growing, here's a 24/25 week bump pic.
