Stretch Marks: None

Belly Button?: Still in
Labor Signs?: Started getting BH contrax around 18 weeks this time. found that drinking around 70 oz of water a day really helps. This is my third pregnancy this far, and by far I feel the most sore and pressure.

I feel like this pregnancy is flying by and that I'm growing quicker than the last 2. She did measure a week ahead. Hoping to have a full-term baby and no c-section this time!

Specialist appointment

We met with the specialist this past week and has the level 2 ultrasound done. Baby girl looks great! They did see that she has a couple of choroid plexus cysts, which they reassured us is not a big deal and will go away in a couple of weeks. I've started feeling some Braxton hicks contractions this past week already :/. Ughhh...did not miss those one bit and just pray that my cervix is not affected by them.
