Here goes 22 weeks.

I had my A/S on Monday.  Basically it stands for anatomy scan and they measure EVERYTHING on baby. They check on heart chambers and bone structure and whatever else you can think of.  It is potentially the last ultrasound on base.  Well typically military fashion Corey wasn't relieved of duty and I had to go alone.  Or so I thought, but I have some amazing friends here and one of them showed up at my appointment to support me.  Not only did she support me but she distracted me, since this appointment requires a full bladder!

Baby is still a girl!! :) However I have no results to how she is measuring.  The way it works with tricare is the ultrasound tech takes all necessary measurements.  She then turns them into her radiologist who makes a report.  They give that report to OB who will discuss the results with me on our next appointment on 7/9.  So first off fingers crossed that Corey will be able to make this appointment (we will also hear the heartbeat again) Second off fingers crossed everything is fine with baby girl.  The tech is not allowed to discuss how anything looks, which is annoying.  We assume if anything is wrong they would call before my appointment in two weeks but we will see.  From the looks of it she looks good, she is weighing 15 oz, a little chunker on our hands!!

I will post a picture from the ultrasound tomorrow.  We will be doing another one off base in September so Corey can see the baby again before he leaves.  Currently she is breech so hopefully she flips in the next 19 weeks.

In other news we will FINALLY be moving Thursday and Friday. Saturday we have an amazing wedding to go to, and we cannot wait to celebrate their love!! :)

Half way there!

This is my 20 week bump pic! I'm half way to meeting our daughter!! I'm measuring at 33 inches.  I have been feeling great minus my lower back being a little sore.  But I honestly think working out every other day has been helping with that.  We walked to dogs last night so that was a nice change of pace for everyone.  No crazy cravings this week besides cookies!! I can feel the princess inside a little but not big movement, hopefully soon Corey can feel her too.

We found out this week Corey won't be able to attend our 20 week ultrasound and we just have to accept that the AF sucks, but we will be scheduling one more elective ultrasound in September so he can see Cadence one last time before he leaves.

This week baby's heartbeat can be heard with just a simple stethoscope so even dad can hear it easily.  She is sleeping and waking in cycles.  Develepoment is less and less as the weeks go on because she doesn't have much less to develop, now she is just growing.  She is the size of a cantelope and as a long as a banana now.

My ultrasound is Monday so I'll update after that and after my appointment on July 9th. :)

NO ONE say anything but I'm wearing the same outfit as my 18 week pic..oops!

ALMOST HALF WAY here goes 20 weeks

Princess' nerves and brain are now responding to a variety of stimuli like my movements, and sounds from the outside.  Hair is starting to form, but it will fall off within a few weeks of birth before the real stuff grows in! I can start to feel hiccups this week.  So far I feel a little bit of movement but since I have an anterior placenta it's not as much as some, but that's okay because baby is super protected.  Right now my cravings are slurpees, cheese, and cookies!! :) Nothing else knew this week, I'll post a picture next week at my half way point.  Corey was TDY this week and we will be happy to get him back on Saturday!! :) Other then that just enjoying the weather and beach!! love you all!!

Here goes my 19th week!

OK this bump is after a full 18 weeks of cooking little Cadence!  Baby is the size of a sweet potato this week.  Since we know she is a girl we know that this week her eggs and ovaries are forming but nothing much is going on.  I'm starting to feel her move which is AMAZING!! Hopefully soon Corey will feel it too.  My anatomy scan will be 6/25, here they will measure baby and make sure everything is going good and check for any abnormalities.  My quad screen came back negative which is great news!! My next doctors appointment will be the week of July 9th but I haven't been able to make it yet because base only has 4 weeks out.  Corey will be TDY this weekend for the next 10 days which will hopefully go by fast!! Seems like a boring week of growing for Cadence but hopefully next week we will have more updates!! :)
