Baby boy update!

Since I am approaching 25 weeks it is time for another baby update. I had an appointment last week and he was trying to dodge the Doppler heartbeat monitor again but we found him! He has a nice healthy heart rate of 157 and is wiggling around a lot. Evie has felt him a few times which she was very excited about.  We have also stopped being completely bad parents and made some more progress on his room.  We have a paint color!! A miracle descended upon our house yesterday when Auggie and I picked the same colour of those we splodged on the wall.  I also hung up his clothes in the closet and finished the new guest room. We even hung curtains. No big step for normal people but for anyone who knows us, this is quite impressive for the Campbells :-)

24 1/2 Weeks

Weight Gain:  Depends upon who you ask. The scale at the doctors is ancient and the nurse didn't wait for the needle to stop wibbling and recorded my weight pretty high. Nana's digital scale says I'm just fine (and for the record, I've been using Auggie as a "control" so I know the scale is not under weighing!). So I'm going with "fine"

How big is baby? 1.5lbs - head to bottom just over 12 inches! The comment on my most recent babycenter update was "looks like a baby." Thank goodness for that is all I can say.

Maternity Clothes? yes for trousers. Mixed bag for everything else. I am trying to avoid "tent" maternity dresses.

Stretch marks? Not yet

Sleep? Good. I have enlisted "snoogle" again and he is making a big difference.  So far Auggie has resisted stealing snoogle from me.  

Best Moment of the week? Hearing his heartbeat :-)

Movement? lots and lots and lots. Still practicing his rugby technique I think. Either that or he's thinking of playing trombone in a marching band.

Labor signs? none

Belly button in or out? in

What I miss? Not sneezing at the smallest amounts of dust. Garage clearing has been fairly miserable

Milestone: None really.

So there you go.

Evie went to her second skating lesson yesterday. She was very good and skated backwards a little as wells as doing some other moves. Auggie took her today for the public skating and Evie had a GREAT time. She likes to go as fast as possible.  I will post some more pictures later in the week.
