and here's my just-about-24 week bump. feeling HUGE!

 

[zmzerbe]

Trust me, I'm right there with you in the feeling huge department... this is today at 24+3

I am only 5'0" tall so there isn't very much room for the baby to hide in there.

Cute bumps girls

Jtink I'm 24 weeks tomorrow too!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Really cute bumps ladies! I also feel huge but I dont think its actually too bad.

As for the holidays, we will be celebrating just our family of 3 in the morning on Christmas, and then going out of town that afternoon to my in-laws home approx 3 hours away, where we will spend Fri and Sat night. It should be a great time, since there are 2 other 3.5 year olds there for my son to play with.

Yikes Jtink I don't think I could do that!

Navy how far away is your "home state" from where you live??

I love all the bump pictures. I don't really have one yet, I am carrying more like a muffin top haha- the weight goes all the way around my waist! It's special. With my DS I didn't really show until 30 weeks- which is great so random people don't try to touch me! (Pet peeve, haha!)

We will be enjoying Christmas with DS - we are so excited for this year because he really is starting to understand! Yay!

We live in VA and our home state is TN so about 700+ miles from where we live to our home town.

Such cute bumps ladies!!!!

 

[NavyLadybug]

How was everyones weekends? Enjoyable I hope?

I was laid up in bed with a nasty head cold. Gotta love when the kiddos share. Just waiting for all the hustle and bustle of the holiday to be over. I love Christmas day, then its all about putting away until next year. I'm worried the last half of the pregnancy will drag now that I dont have anything to keep me busy lol

 

[NavyLadybug]

I feel you on the head cold! DH and I both have one plus earaches! It's terrible!

 

[zmzerbe]

We had a family christmas party of my husband's maternal grandfather's side of the family. SO MANY PEOPLE and so many cousins for Chance to play with. I also have purchased all of the last minute Christmas presents I needed and stocking stuffers except for a trip to the liquor store I have to make for one of my husband's gifts (should be interesting with the giant pregnant belly).

It is definitely catching up to me though because last night I just started feeling icky. It's the only way I can describe it. I'm also achy as always, just a tad bit worse than normal. My vacation starts the 24th though so I won't have to work after tomorrow until the monday after new years.

Lala, any updates?

 

[jtink28]

good news on my part - i did my GD glucose test yesterday. my levels were supposed to be under 140, and they were 97! so that's amazing. one less thing to worry about. we've had some financial setbacks this holiday season (thank goodness my son's gifts were purchased months ago!) and it's had me rather down. but then i heard this little guy's heartbeat yesterday at the dr's office, and i realized, i'm about to have 2 healthy, beautiful little boys. so many people don't get to have any and have been struggling so long. so it is a happy christmas. i am so so lucky.

 

[NavyLadybug]

That's great jtink!!

 

[Lala77]

Hi! Thanks for checking in on me, Navy. I hope that everyone is having a nice holiday. I hope my sugars are low too.. I'm lucky they aren't going to check my sugar this week!! I can't stop eating!!! I am really looking forward to my ultra sound Tuesday to put this whole cyst in the brain behind me. We are telling my in-laws the Wednesday after and then telling everyone after that :0)

 

[NavyLadybug]

Fingers crossed!! Though I'm sure everything is fine and so exciting to share the news!

 

[NavyLadybug]

How was everyone's holidays? Good I hope?

 

[SunUp]

Lala how did the scan go?!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Yes, Lala, update please!!

 

[Lala77]

Hey guys! The scan went great! The cyst in the choroid plexus is gone! The baby looked great! Very active and already 1.5 lbs ... I can't believe I'm already 25 weeks this Saturday! I feel like I can breathe! Thank you for the support. I can't wait to tell My hubby's parents tonight so we can tell the rest of the world!

Our holidays were pretty good. My mom was so helpful! I honestly would not have been able to handle the holidays without her help. My daughter got lovely ear infections!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday!

 

[NavyLadybug]

WOOHOO!!! I knew it!!! So exciting to finally be telling everyone, huh?
