Update on me and the baby

It's been a long time since I updated everyone on what is going on with me. I want everyone to know that I'm doing very well. I've had a very easy pregnancy so far. He is growing SO MUCH and betting so big. I LOVE to feel him move and kick inside of me. It's an unbelievable feeling and I feel like we are bonding in those moments. Sometimes when he is really active, usually in the morning, I will press down on my belly with 2 fingers and then he will kick that spot and follow me around. His record is only 5 times in a row, but it's still an amazing feeling. Maybe he is playing with me or maybe he is saying "get out of my space." =)
Here's the belly shot at 25 weeks and 4 days.
I'm really hoping and planning on natural child birth. We'll see what happens, there is no shame in saying enough when the time comes. There is a slight chance that I might have to have a C-section because my placenta is low, which means that you can't deliver the baby if the placenta is lower than the baby. We will find out in a few weeks. I'm really hoping not because I'm more scared of the idea of being cut open (while awake) then dealing with the pain of natural child birth. And the placenta being low is just something that happens. It's not genetic and it doesn't mean that it will happen with all my pregnancies, it just means that the place were the baby attached itself was low. So it's not that big of a deal these days. Medical science has come so far. It's called Placenta Previa if you feel the need to google it for more information. Well, I think that's everything. Me and the baby and baby daddy are all doing great! I'll try to be better with updates. Thanks for reading and checking in =)
