away we go....
i couldn't just leave for a week without saying good-bye!
darin and i are heading up to fort bragg for a little getaway, pretty much our last one as a twosome :)
here is what i wore yesterday: a vintage Young Edwardian dress i got for a steal from etsy right when i found out i was pregnant. i utterly love the appliqued flower on the belly.
i had to wait to wear it until a day that did not require a sweater, because of the little ties at the shoulder.
it even has pockets! my favorite.
at my obgyn appointment on monday i measured "small." this is based on the fundal measurement; the doctor simply takes a measuring tape and measures from the bottom of the uterus (pelvic area) to the fundus, or the top of the uterus. i've now gained 22 pounds, so we knew my own growth was right on schedule ;) but wanted to make sure that our sweet baby is growing okay in there. so we postponed our trip by a day and i went in this morning for an ultrasound to make sure everything with little girl was right on schedule.
and....hooray! she is fine. she weighs 2 pounds 6 ounces and her growth is perfectly normal; everything is looking really great.
yay, sweet relief.
i think i'm carrying her low, i feel movements way down low in my pelvic region all the time.
so that might account for the smaller measurement of my belly, and also i think i've grown quite a bit side to side in addition to up and down.
her head is on my right side just up above my belly button. i get lots of movement there too.
even before the scan i was feeling healthy and positive, but it was nice to get reassurance before we head out on our trip.
does this belly look small to you?!
maybe i'll check in from the coffeeshop in fort bragg, and meanwhile...
i hope you all have a beautiful springly week!

Hey, start feeling for baby to have hiccups:)
Have loads of fun on your trip!!! XOXO
as you know, i love pockets too and i think once your babe is here you will love them even more.
yes! i would love to talk baby food and in person would be even better! you had asked on my baby hannah post if rita was the one who did hypno birthing, she wasn't. it was my friend maia from my violet moon post (gosh, all sorts of baby posts going on) anyway, she said it was awesome. she was able to easily and effectively work through her labor. she said once she started pushing she could really feel it, but prior to that she was able to treat the pain differently and work with it not against it. also, her labor was very quick, 3-4 hours total. she said she thought the hypno birthing helped her to progress quickly.
i hope you guys have a wonderful getaway enjoying your last months alone together. you will look back and cherish these times!
xx
Have a great trip, can't wait to hear about it
Wishing you and Darin a beautiful trip!
(p.s. WHAT A DRESS!)
