Almost 24 weeks

Pretty basic boring appointment today. Everything looked good. Heartbeat was in the 150s. I got the paper work for the glucose test and for another u/s in 3 weeks. I am getting a little tired of the "Oh you don't look very big" comments. Sorry. I have no idea how big I should look. It definitely depends on the shirt I'm wearing I think. Doctor said I was within normal measurements. So I'm not real worried. I haven't gained all that much weight still which I'm happy about but the kiddo should start gaining a lot more over the next few weeks so I expect to see the pounds start to pack on a little bit more.

I don't think I ever posted this on any of the other updates but we are over half way there. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Actually according to my niffy iphone app, we have 16 weeks and 3 days or 115 days left to go. Maybe I'll go get one of those ticker count downs for the blog.

We had a party over the weekend for Kevin's graduation. Thanks to everyone who came and braved the massive downpours. Our vision of a sunny BBQ went out the window. We ended up with pizza and wings in the garage but at least we were dry. Plus the new Wii got a work out. Now if we could only stop fighting over who plays Zelda first. :-)

Back from vacation

Well I just enjoyed a beautiful week in Fort Lauderdale. It was awesome. :-) We did the beach, pool, air boat, water taxi, and lots and lots of food. It was pretty warm but I survived. Unfortunately, I am back at work now. I have put pictures up on picasa.

In other news, I started to feel the baby move on vacation. Kevin even felt a kick from the outside. So yes there is actually a baby in there and I'm not just getting fat. That or it is some wicked gas. ;-) Just kidding.

Appointment update

So we saw the doctor today. Everyone looks good. The baby's heartbeat was 160. She went over the results of the u/s last week. So as of last Wednesday, May 27th the baby was:

Measuring at 20 w 2 days
12 oz
In the 40th percentile for size (so not a huge baby but mostly average)
Had all the major parts necessary for life (heart, brain, etc)
The heartbeat at the time was 147


Plus we found out that placenta is anterior which explains why I haven't felt much moment. The placenta is acting like a little pillow and the kicks and punches aren't strong enough to go through it yet. So hopefully as this little one gets bigger, I'll starting feeling some activity. But all in all a very good appointment. We have our interview with a doula tomorrow. I'm hoping it goes well. And today is our 3 year anniversary. Can you believe it? 3 years. Go us. Love you hubby. :-)
