28 Weeks
Spot has been cooking for 28 weeks now. That’s 7 whole months! She still doesn’t have a name, but we do have it narrowed down to about half a dozen options. That’s a good thing, right? I’ve already been to one appointment for her this week, but I’ve got another tomorrow. It’s the glucose test,…

Spot is 27 weeks along now and, based on her latest scans, doing well. She moved around so much that I wasn’t sure they would be able to get everything they needed, but they were able to tell that Spot has gained 6oz in the last 2 weeks, making her a total of 1lb and…

Did you know that 26 weeks is an important mark for viability of a baby? At 26 weeks, if something goes wrong in the pregnancy, baby’s survival rate is 90%. And I’m 26 weeks pregnant now, which is super awesome considering all the scares the doctors have given us about Spot’s size. Of course, she…

This week was our first visit to Perinatology (or the high-risk obstetrician). It was a long appointment – almost 4 whole hours, most of which was spent on doing ultrasound scans of Spot. Her anatomy all still looks good, but unfortunately, you can’t use an ultrasound to determine if she is small just because…

We’re at 22 weeks and I’m finally starting to actually look like a pregnant person. Of course, along with looking pregnant, my lower abdomen is sore as things start to stretch. That has been a bit annoying, but considering the problems I hear about other people having, I really shouldn’t complain. What I can’t live…

At 21 weeks, I’m more than halfway through my pregnancy. Last week was out anatomy scan. In case you missed our official announcement on the local radio, Spot Turner is officially Girl Spot. When you have connections, you get a live gender reveal on the radio. A video posted by Andrea Dillon Turner (@mouseinmypocket7) on…

Funny story: at 20 weeks baby Turner is the size of a Swingline stapler. If you’ve seen the 1999 movie Office Space, then you know the one I’m talking about. If not, reference photos below. And, yes, I am a huge nerd. I have my very own red Swingline stapler at the office. And, I…
