Doctor's Update:
We went to the clinic at a different time than usual which led to seeing a different doctor. I didn't mind at all. My usual OB is an older lady and I believe the one we saw this time was her son (it's a family clinic). He was very nice and friendly and I actually think I like him more than the woman! He took his time with the ultrasound and explained everything he showed and was doing, which is more than my usual doctor does. Of course I didn't understand everything but he did try to use English when he could. Basically, Jacet is growing fine and right on target with how far along I am. His heartbeat is strong and everything looks to be correctly formed. He now weighs about 1166g which equals about 2 1/2 lbs. The doctor was also able to get a very lovely picture of Jacet's cute little face. Me Update:
Apparently the younger doctor does not believe my weight is a problem. He didn't mention anything about it. My sugar levels are also normal. I knew it was just all the Christmas cookies I had eaten...
I don't really have any pregnancy symptoms. I get tired easily and it's getting a little uncomfortable to sleep at night...and my legs fall asleep often. Not to mention nighttime pee breaks. Other than that and the fact that my belly (and butt. and face. and thighs.) is growing, I feel perfectly normal. Now for some belly pictures :) the first few are from last week (26 weeks) and then some I took today.
Other Stuff:
Since we only have about 3 months to go (yikes!), I've started researching baby stuff to buy. We're most likely moving at the end of Feb/beginning of March, so most of the big stuff will have to wait until then. But I've narrowed down my options and made a list of other necessities to get in the meantime. There are so many little extra things that we have to get! So here is where I ask you all for any advice and opinions for things I definitely need vs things I really don't need :)
Stay Tuned for more updates!
