Pregnant Penguin Update: Weeks 24-25

Week 24

Well, this week was very exciting. We had a doctor's appointment this week, along with a follow-up ultrasound. We arrived at the Madison Women's Clinic and had to wait about 20 minutes because the ultrasound technician was a little backed up. When we did get in, it was clear that this ultrasound was going to be MUCH easier. She was able to get all of the pictures except the profile. He was just being very stubborn and had his face turned downward into my hip. This is when the appointment got much longer.....

Me at 24 weeks!

Realizing that our son was going to be rather stubborn when it came to getting a good profile picture from him, the technician suggested that Traz and I come back after our visit with Doctor Evans. So, after the traditional peeing in a cup, I began to walk around the room to move our son around. Traz was concerned that we had been forgotten in the room, but luckily we weren't. However, because we had to wait so long to even have my blood pressure, weight and urine checked by a nurse, we were given a free date night!!! This included two tickets, a medium 1-topping pizza and two medium soft drinks at FatCats (which is the fancy theatre in town hahaha). It was a nice treat, considering the fact that we were at the office for about 2.5 hours.

Finally, after schedueling my next appointment, Traz and I went back into the ultrasound room for the last ultrasound for our baby boy. After much bouncing with the wand, and many uncomfortable positions, she was FINALLY able to get some decent profile pictures of our son. It was a great moment, and we celebrated by getting Domino's! (We've decided that after each ultrasound, we celebrate with pizza!)



This is the side of his face, the top of his head is right.

That Friday we decided to cash in our free date night and we saw "The Hunger Games". (Side note: We liked the movie well enough, but we like the books better. It's not our favorite movie, but it was pretty good for what it was.) Traz and I were very happy to be able to go on a date for the first time in a long time.

Greatest moment of the night: For those of you who haven't read or seen "The Hunger Games", there is a moment when the main character blows up a big pile of supplies. (Note: Our son had already been a little jumpy before earlier on in the movie.) Well, right when the big boom came in the movie, I felt a HUGE jump from our son. I told Traz and he couldn't stop laughing for a good bit. It was a great moment.

Week 25
 This week has been ok. Nothing as major as last week. I've been swelling like crazy because of the heat, but I can still wear my wedding ring. Traz is working very hard at school, and looking for internships for the Fall. We have some good leads for internships but I won't jinx our luck by saying anything more.
I'm loving the little wiggles I get from our son, and Traz has even felt some movement when he hugs me! I can't wait until the kicks get a little stronger for Traz to really feel.

Well, that's all for the past two weeks!
