Going backwards... this is 30 weeks

31 weeks

31 weeks today. At my last appointment, I found out that the baby weights approximately 3 lbs. 9 oz. and is the 63rd percentile. Generally babies gain about half a pound each week, which would make the baby about 4 pounds this week. I have a regular doctor's appointment tomorrow. I'm trying to take it easy, but really no other news to report.

Updates

Baby is kicking up a storm and I'm getting bigger by the second... praying for no/minimal stretch marks. The doctor's office called today and said that I passed my diabetes test, which is great because doing the 3 hour test would have been torture. However, my iron is low so I'll need supplements. That helps explain my extreme exhaustion. I'm counting down the days until I'm out of work. I know it won't be a vacation, but I like to pretend for now haha

I will call the baby LC...

For Little Chris. She looks so much like Chris. There is only one picture where I think she looks like me. haha The pictures don't do the video justice. Can't wait to meet her! Next 2d ultrasound is in 2 weeks. My weekly appointments will start at about 33 weeks. So far, so good!



Grabbing her feet



I think she looks like me in this one. It looks like her eyes might be open. If you look closely, you can see her long eyelashes.














She doesn't quite have the hang of opening her eyes :)








She's laughing!

28 weeks

27 Weeks

Here is a 27 week picture...13 more to go... about 7 or 8 until Chris comes back

Exciting few weeks ahead

So, today I went for a regular checkup. Everything looked good. The best part is I go back in 3 weeks for a 4d ultrasound!! Down side is I have to do my one hour glucose test.... YUCK on many levels. THen in 2 weeks I get another ultrasound - a regular 2d one. How exciting! I'll have appointments every two weeks after than, then will move to weekly appointments a little earlier than normal b/c of my blood pressure. It won't be long now! So much to do, so little time :)
