Every 2 Weeks

Well we are officially going to the Dr. every 2 weeks now. I go back this Friday the 27th. We are going to have our 4D ultrasound on Saturday as well. I can't wait to see this baby's cute little face!! I know I won't be able to watch the whole thing since we don't want to find out the sex of the baby, but it will be okay since time if flying by so quickly anyways. At our last appointment the baby's heart rate was 142 bpm and she measured my belly as well. My glucose testing came back fine as well as all of my other blood work. I am really happy about that!!

The most amazing thing that has happened recently is the baby reacting to me touching my belly. I can sit at home or work and just watch the baby pushing, kicking, and rolling around in my belly. Sometimes it looks like popcorn is popping under my skin. Daddy seems to think I might just be pissing baby off and he/she is fighting back. I kinda like to think that it's our own little game of "I'm not really touching you"!! :) Either way it's still pretty amazing to see the baby move from the outside. Daddy did finally get to feel the baby kick a little bit. Dad has such big hands but only felt the little kick at his thumb. I really think baby favors him over me. One day daddy and I were kidding around and he poked me in the arm. Well I guess baby thought it would be funny and kicked me in the ribs at the same time daddy poked me. Mike thought that was really funny! I can see now I am going to have my hands full with the two of them.

Well I will blog again soon!

27 WEEKS 5 DAYS APPOINTMENT

So we had our 27 week appointment on Friday 1/30/09. We had another stage 2 ultrasound to find both feet and hands of the baby! I don't know whether to think this baby is minding mommy since I asked baby to keep its gender secret or if it's just being hard headed! Either way baby is growing nicely and starting to show some attitude with those kicks and punches. We are certainly on the countdown now. Only 12 more weeks! My appointments are going to be every 2 weeks now for a while. We are also planning on having a 3D or 4D ultrasound within a few weeks as well. I can't wait to see what the baby looks like! Overall things have gone pretty well. I lost a total of 12 lbs. at the beginning of the pregnancy and I have only gained back 3! I can so handle that!! I know that number will go up with this growing baby but I will still lose even more once the baby is born. I don't want to rush the pregnancy along but I can't wait to hold Brynley or Max in my arms and see Daddy hold him/her as well.

Childbirth class #3 is tonight. We get to tour the hospital hopefully tonight. I can't wait!

Lots of Love,
