I am please to announce to the world that as of today, I have only 82 days to go...and I can safely say, a maximum of 89 days as insured by my wonderful doctor. How am I feeling you ask, well I feel large and, just like people describe it, a beached whale. No longer are the days were I can lay on the floor to watch TV and have my legs contorted to unthinkable positions. Now a days, I just lay straight and dream of the day where I can sleep on my stomach and turn my torso around.
On another note, the baby has been very active and may have punctured my stomach, spleen, bladder and several other organs. There is no rhyme or reason to any of the movement. It just happens every 10 seconds. Joel was please to participate in another, "hey fell my belly the baby is moving" session the other night where the baby had the hiccups. Though he thought it was funny and cute, I was a walking spasm.
Anyway, wanted to update you in the excitement of pregnancy in our house. Nothing to announce but random thoughts is always good!
The Crib
The first piece of baby furniture has entered our home, thanks to Grandma in France. Like Joel said when we picked up the crib, there's no turning back now, this really means the baby is coming. I had that same feeling when the Doctor told me I was pregnant. It just took him a little longer to figure it out. Anyway, Joel put it all together in about 30 minutes with a little help from Phoebe. As you can tell, that's as far as we have gotten in getting the nursery put together, but at least, Phoebe got her bed ready too.
Week 24 Dr.'s Visit
Sorry this has taken me so long to get up and running but we've been crazy at work for both of us. Our Dr.'s visit went just fine but we didn't get a good picture this time. Baby was turned, looking inward and WOULD NOT turn around. No matter what we did, turn to the left, turn to the right, NOTHING worked. The Ultrasound lady said she could see everything was fine and the heart has four parts and looks great. My blood pressure went down again! Which usually, around this time it's supposed to go up! I only gained three more pounds! Hope you enjoy the blurry picture we got.
Dr.'s Visit at 20 Weeks
We had our BIG ultrasound visit on the 18th of Feb. and everything looks good. The brain is there, the intestines are in, there's a diaphragm, all the arms and legs are good. Baby weights almost a pound and is just the right size. We saw the nose and Joel says it looks just like mine! We also saw Baby sucking and that was amusing. Even the Ultrasound Tech was laughing. Let's hope Baby has his brains! I've gained a pound which brings me up to two hole pounds. Wow, I may walk out of the hospital weighing less then when I started with this pregnancy. Our next apt. is in March and we will get another ultrasound because we couldn't see the heart valves very well and the bottom of the spinal cord. For now, we hope you enjoy the new pics.
For those keeping tabs...
We got the test results of all that blood draw and all the levels are good. Things are never 100% with the tests, but like Joel says, lets B+.
