Week 21

My energy levels are finally back!!!!!! Or it could just be the amazing 'high' I have been on since we had our scan last week!!! I can't wait to start on our Baby Girl's nursery when we get back from the wedding and christening in NSW!!! Then we can start buying everything to fill her nursery!!

We had our midwife appointment on Wednesday night and got put into the RED team of midwives and had another tour of the birthing centre so Nick could see the bath where I will hopefully get to have a water birth!! We got our NT scan results and all was great EXCEPT my PAPP-A results were slightly too low (0.39 instead of greater than 0.40) so we have to get another ultrasound scan at 32/34 weeks to make sure she is meeting her growth targets in there and my placenta is doing what it should!!

My bump this week is... Getting there!!! Just when I think 'oh I have popped' I look at the photo and still just look a little bloated. 



What is the baby up to this week? Her eyebrows and hair begin to get their colour this week... So she no longer has white hair and it will become blonde or brown or black or red... My guess is blonde.. Nick thinks Brown!!!! 

Maternity clothes? Just my jeans so far!! Still on the lookout for work pants!!

Stretch marks? Nope! 

Sleep: still enjoying my early nights and I generally wake up just before my 4:30am alarm to Baby T kicking me.... She is just preparing me for the night and early morning feeds I will be doing in a few months!

Best moment this week: Hearing Baby T's heartbeat!!!!!!! We had our first midwife appointment since our 12 week one and got to hear her heartbeat!! The midwife couldn't stop laughing because as soon as she put the Doppler on my belly the bub kicked it so hard we heard the DOOF sound through the machine!!! It took a bit of fiddling to find her heartbeat as she kept flipping around in my belly! We finally found it and a nice healthy 163bpm!! 
 
Miss Anything? Running !! But we did make up for it by going on a big 10km walk with the dogs this weekend... 



Movement: YES!!!!!!!! The most amazing thing I have ever ever felt!!! I really feel sorry for men or women who cannot have a baby who will never get to experience the feeling of having your baby move around INSIDE you!!

Food cravings: Nothing really!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week

Have you started to show yet: In a tight singlet.. YES!!! In anything else... NO!!!

Gender prediction: no longer a prediction.... Sweet baby GIRL!!!!

Labor Signs: No!

Belly Button in or out? Innie at the moment!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! So so happy!!!

Looking forward to: our weekend trip back home for a wedding and Koby's christening!!

Well that is all for this week! 

Love from us (all 3 of us) xxoo
