**25 week bump**
Has it really almost been one month since my last blog post?!? Ahhhhhhh, time is flying and I can't see time slowing especially with the busiest time of the year here! While time is flying I have definitely enjoyed every moment this far. I have soo much to catch every one up on so this post may be a little longer than normal. Let's get started with the updates!
This is a photo at a wedding we went to on October 28, 2011
**22 week bump**
I have had a couple doctor appointments since the last post. One was with my OB which went well she heard Victoria's heartbeat and made sure I was doing well. Her report was great! Everything is well and we are both on target and growing just like we need to be. She also gave me results on my last test I could possibly take to ensure that Victoria is healthy all the way around. At week 13 I took the first of a two part blood test called the AFP. I took the second part of the test at 18 weeks. The results of this test also came back negative for any genetic disorders, spina bifida as well as a few fetal demise syndromes. Woooo Hooo another positive note to add to this pregnancy! Victoria is truly a miracle!!! The second Doctor appointment was with our specialist. This appointment was solely to check Victoria's heart with a high tech ultrasound. Mommy and Daddy were both able to attend this appointment and it was soo special to see our precious little blessing together. Once again Victoria was positioned so she is looking directly at us. I'm guessing she enjoys this position but let me just say my bladder doesn't. The Tech had nothing but great news for us, blood was flowing in all the right directions, all the valves were in place and the chambers had no defects. Woooo Hoooo another positive note! Victoria couldn't be healthier at this point, thank you Jesus! Hoping we get a profile picture of her on our next visit in December.
We had some very special moments this last month. Daddy and I were both able to experience Victoria in the womb. Victoria is a mover and a shaker and Daddy was able to feel her movement this month. Let me say my baby girl just may be practicing to be an Olympic gymnast in my belly. I am soo grateful for every movement I feel even if it is at 2, 3, and 4 in the morning. Victoria enjoys doing back flips, somersaults, and cart wheels during early morning hours. I was concerned in the beginning but found out that mothers who are on the go and very active during the day tend to soothe their babies with their constant movement so this gives the baby time to be active when the mother settles down at night. Yayyy for all the movement I do during the day :)! Victoria has fully developed hearing and so we bought a couple very special books to read to her, "Where Ever You Are by Nancy Tillman" is our favorite book to read to her. We look forward to reading this book to her when she is born.
I have continued to crave some of the same foods I have since the beginning. I crave Cheerios, peanut butter, red velvet cupcakes from My Delight CupCakery, and cheese. Let me say food has tasted extra delicious since being pregnant!
This pregnancy in comparison to our pregnancy with Jolie has been different in so many ways. I have felt soo good physically. I feel lighter than I did with Jolie and less achy breaky. On the flip side I have definitely been more emotional with this pregnancy. I know most of my emotions stem from being pregnant and my hormones raging, so we go through them and come out alive hahahaha! Thank God I haven't scared my husband away. Let me just say we are soo excited for the arrival of our princess I mean its almost un bearable to contain. I try to fathom Victoria's birth and it is soo over whelming all the emotion that comes with her arrival. We are so thankful for every passing week!
Victoria's mommy and daddy have gotten on the ball and registered. Most people know that Miguel is not a shopper and would prefer not to enter a store if he can avoid it. Me on the other hand I can shop day and night. So we planned our first store and we both went and registered for lots of necessities. Registering this time around was different, we registered for necessities mostly. Most of what we registered for was gender neutral and practical. I do have to say there was one rule we had when registering we did not want anything that had Brown in it. There seems to be a pink and brown trend but the Monroy's are not really in to it. What do you know their was lots of brown and pink at Babies R' Us. We also registered at Target for some of the same items just in case it was more convenient to go to Target instead of Babies R' Us or vice-versa.
I have been wanting to put pictures up so I am going to try again...
Looking forward to the next 14 weeks of this pregnancy, YESSSS 14 more weeks!!!!
A former student drew this for me when he found out I was having a baby, I love the fact the baby is in a secured window. Too cute!
I love this outfit!!!
