24 Weeks!

So we are edging closer to the third trimester! I'm 24 weeks (as of Monday) and I'm so excited! I only have 16 more weeks to go before we can meet our little girl! I'm still feeling great, tired after working but that's normal. I had a doctor's appointment this morning and everything was great! Blood pressure is good, measuring good, baby's heart rate is good (143 bpm) and I gained 2lbs. I have an ultrasound next week to see if the placenta has moved ( I vote yes!) so we'll get another chance to see our peanut.
My bump is more prominent so more people are noticing my tummy at work and are asking a lot of questions, which I don't mind. We've also had a lot of chances to feel all of her tiny kicks and punches lately which has been very exciting for Dimitris, who has been anxiously waiting to feel her move. She even responds to his voice! Daddy's girl in the making, oh goodness!

At work on Tuesday

Next week will be my first baby shower and I'm SO excited! It's my only jungle-themed shower, to match the nursery theme, and my friend Ilena is having it for me at her house. It's going to be co-ed which is going to be different but fun, I don't see why they aren't anyway! I am just expecting to have a good time with some good friends. This is just the first shower, I have one in Detroit in December and one after Olivia arrives in Flint. I just am blessed to have so much support and love around our family!

Until next time be blessed!
