Aquarium Part 2

Look at previous post... Micah's hand is against the glass in the lobster picture because we were trying to show just how huge this lobster was, but it really doesn't do it justice. You need to go see it yourself. Also, I decided to not post all of my pics.

Aquarium

Micah and I headed over to the Aquarium in Sandy yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I love doing things like that with Micah because he really is interested in animals and he points out things that I would never notice on my own. I took a lot of pictures, but I'm not patient enough to go through and label everything so it will just be pics. I hope that's okay. The only sad thing is that the penguins would not get into the water and the sea turtle was not there. I really wanted both of those things for Micah, but we'll go back another time. (Oh and the last picture is just me at 25 weeks and 5 days.)

Opinions?

So at my last doctor's appointment they started measuring my fundal height. Being just over 25 weeks I should have been between 23 and 27 centimeters. I was 27 centimeters so my baby is on the big side, but not anything to worry about. They are going to do a second ultrasound though just in case to check on the baby. I'm wondering if this could be because they already changed my due date once and so they just want to check on her or if they think something could be wrong. I'm kind of stuck because I'm excited to see our baby again, but what if there is something wrong? I know none of you can actually tell me exactly what will happen, but do you think I need to be worried that she is measuring big or should I feel more assured that she is still within the parameters? Has anyone else had their baby measure this much bigger? I'm kind of thinking that my due date may still be slightly off as we don't have an accurate date of my last menstrual cycle.. so I'm hoping that's it and everything is fine. It's kind of lame, but I just would like to hear some of your opinions. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

FINALLY...

So I am now 25 weeks and 2 days and have been waiting FOREVER for Micah to feel the baby. There were honestly times I was worried, which was totally stupid, but I was. Well on Sunday when I was exactly 25 weeks, Micah finally felt Lila and I mean he really felt her. I had my hand on my stomach and felt her very noticeably twice when I told Micah to put his hand on me. I was worried that she would stop moving, because that is honestly what she kept doing every other time, but this time we were both just patient and she REALLY moved for him. He felt her several times and it was the most I've ever felt her, too. It was a really great bonding experience. I'm so glad Micah was finally able to feel her. It was really important to me and now he can feel like she's even more real and he can be more involved in her development.
