I agree! I have never measured more than a week ahead. Yikes. This could be a big baby or just a growth spurt and will catch up next time they check.

I'm measuring about 2 weeks ahead this time and it started at my 20 week check-up. My DS3 did that too and came 12 days early. I'm thinking she will come early too. I just hope she comes 38 weeks or later 🤞🏻!!

Anyone else nesting? I think that must be what's going on with me. I've had an energy boost lately and have been cleaning and making my skincare stuff. I'm trying to get my formulations down so I can start my own business in 12-24mo when my DH is through with his doctorate. I'm excited! I've made body lotion, hand lotion, body oil, face oils for the oil cleansing method that rinse nicely, body balm, nipple butter (I'm excited to use!!), lip balm, cuticle oil, foaming body scrub, body polish, 2 vitamin C facial serums (one Oil based and one like a light lotion- works as a great make-up primer!!), Face brightening lotion, and a Facial wrinkle corrector. The facial line contains cosmetic actives!!
I'm working on my body lotion and my face lotion- getting them to the consistency I like. I also want to make a whipped body butter and a diaper balm with zinc oxide to round out my product line! I've had some formulations down for a couple of years now, but the body lotion and face line are new-ish. I just want to have my formulations completed before the baby comes, so I can jump into production mode when I'm ready to open up online. I already sell to family, friends, and colleagues. I'd love to have a stand next summer at our local farmers market! We will see! I want to see how our baby girl is and to have a shop on etsy first.
It sounds like a lot, but I've only been making/tweaking 7 items! My BF's love when I'm in formulation mode, because they are my guinea pigs (I do stability and microbial testing first, of course!)!

Good news over here!
Had my follow up ultrasound this morning for the "bowel issue" the ultrasound tech said she doesn't see much difference in the bowel from 4 weeks ago but then the perinatologist came in and said, looking at today's scan, he wouldn't call it echogenic bowel. He said we have a beautiful baby! He doesn't think I need ultrasounds every 4 weeks but that will be up to my OB. Baby boy is measuring 25 weeks so exactly a week ahead. He was 12oz 4 weeks ago and is now 1lb 12oz!
I did the 24 hr urine collection and had a slightly elevated amount of protein but my doctor said it was fine and it's just to get a baseline.
I feel some relief! Now on to pass the glucose test in 2 weeks [emoji51]

Roe - that is wonderful news!!! Congrats!
XX - that is just crazy. I hope it all works out for you to get everything set soon. I so wish I had energy! I still have so many boxes everywhere from the move and no energy to try to unpack them.
Yay! Great news Roe! I've been wondering how you've been getting along! Hopefully you can relax and enjoy things now!

We usually do the same thing too, Shannshaff! It's very informal and a way to get together with family and friends before the baby comes. Most people bring something for the baby, although it's not required by any means. I think most women love shopping for baby stuff! I know I do! I haven't bought much, since I have overzealous family!
