| Beautiful Architectural in a beautiful city! |
25 weeks pregnant and I can say that I went on a 3 hour kayak tour along the Chicago River! What an experience!
I feel as if we (baby & I) have surpassed a lot of expectations....my own expectations. We've made it this far together & I am so grateful for her little blessing in my life.
Things still get hard. Reality sinks in & sometimes the whimsical dream of everything comes to a halt for a split second as Ryan & I have to face...reality. But it's all worth it & we know it. 100%.
The love between Ryan & I has grown so deep through this whole process. We realize we don't have a lot...but we do have each other and that is really enough.
Floating along the river and being in the awe of majestic buildings gave us a sense of peace...hope...and love. It was a good day....
Based on the ultrasound results, the baby is PERFECTLY healthy...Mama is gaining the appropriate amount of weight...and Baby D is expected to arrive on time! (hopefully!)
My midwife also said that due to all the factors, if I continue to take good care of myself, we won't need another ultrasound unless medically warranted! (which for us "alternative-holistic" beings, makes me extra extra happy!)
It is still a controversial topic whether or not ultrasounds are actually as safe as they are advertised and the caution I take with this pregnancy is that if there's a risk I can avoid, well...I avoid it or want to.
As the midwife was listening to Baby D's beautiful heartbeat today with a doppler (a form of an ultrasound), the baby also shares our same beliefs and literally kicked so hard that the doppler came off my belly!
It was quite funny & I have to say, it was a very proud moment for me as her mother ;)
