4 weeks to go

This week we start weekly trips to the hospital until bub comes. We haven't been to the hospital since our first appt at 12 weeks and have been going to our GP for the last few months. A month ago we were told that bub was head down and ready to go, I wonder how many visits we will have to endure at the hospital.

All check ups have been great. Bub has a strong heart beat and is growing nicely (so is mum - 15 kgs to date).

Pregnancy wise, this one is a lot different to Ruby's. My shape is different, I didn't show with Ruby until 26 weeks and this one was almost straight away - all out the front. I wasn't sick with Ruby at all and I was sick for a good 6 weeks with this pregnancy. I've been feeling this baby since very early in the pregnancy, from about 12 weeks, even Rog could feel it moving around. At the scan they said that baby is sitting right at the front of my belly. And this bub - according to our scan - is a little bit bigger than it's sister was at the same time.

As everything has been going so well, we've only had the one scan. This is one of the best images from the bunch, taken in June at 19 weeks pregnant.
