We got good news!

We had our 24 week appointment on thursday and everything went GREAT! I was really nervous that my uterine abnormality would be worse then it was, and that something could be wrong with our lil man but nope, everything looked PERFECT! The bi-cornuate isn't visable anymore- so that means although it's still there it is no longer big enough to pose a threat to us, and they got all the shots they needed of him and he's doing great. Weighing in at 1lb 9oz, he's starting to slow down his growth and is measuring exactly what he should be. So the good news is he may actually make it to September now! They still don't think he'll make it to my due date but that's just fine with me!!

Dr. Langer said I was doing well too- no signs of diabetes yet but I still have to take the test in 3 weeks, my swelling is pretty up there but she doesn't think it looks to out of the oridnary, and although I was very unhappy with my weight gain she said I'm doing just fine and believes the increase is due to fluids not caloric intake. So all in all I was very happy when I left there- that is until I had to pay the bill...YIKES! I must admit that although I LOVE my OB and the office, my only downside with them is paying out of pocket- NO FUN!

On to the good stuff.....

And he's got REALLY big feet!!

23 weeks

The past few weeks have brought some interesting symptoms for me. My morning sickness is back but definatly not as bad as it was the first trimester, and I have now been having pretty frequent braxton hicks contractions, which despite what others have told me DO hurt!

We're looking forward to a follow-up ultrasound this thursday to see how much room our little man has. Personally, I am intriqued to see how much our little chubbers weighs already :)

Here's some pics of my ever growing baby belly:

A change of heart

As the months go by, and our due date gets closer I realize how much we still have left to do! The nursery is my main priority these days but shifting my stuff into chris' closet and clearing out Ethan's room is a much bigger task than I anticipated. We bought his bedding a few months ago but while trying to be all the fun little accesories for it we've realized that NOTHING goes with it. We don't want our poor soon to only know what a turtle looks like!

So as always we have changed our minds and picked out new bedding and theme for our little guy:

This one still has turtles in it but also has other sea animals too. Plus I think it has a lot more color to it. They sell it at Babies R Us (hint hint hehehe), so at least we have a place to buy all of it now, where as with the Turtle Bay collection it was discontinued so we had a horrible time finding it all.
