The prenatal on Sunday went really well! Baby was feeling a little sluggish, so he was only moving moderately when they tried feeling him, but boy did he make up for it afterward!! He was bounding about everywhere! They were able to find and feel him, and he appears to be head down (good chap! Just keep that in mind!), back to the right (so ROA, I think?)and his heart rate was in the 130's and 140's. The midwives think it'll be a boy. :-) Everything was looking really good and healthy, and I managed to pack on 8 pounds.... yike! I don't mind putting on weight if it's for him, but I hope I don't keep that up the next three or four months! Lol! they said he's doubling in size though, so that is totally normal for this stage of the game. Anyway, he's been staying pretty active the last few days, being a good baby and kicking Mommy every so often so she doesn't worry. :-) I had a few bites of cake on Sunday, which was probably more sugar than I've had in a long time. I didn't even want the rest of the cake and probably took it more out of old habit than anything, because it really didn't appeal to me, but boy, just those few bites and baby was bouncing off the walls! Wow! I think he did an entire dance performance in the space of about 30 seconds there, lol!!
So now it's less than two weeks to the ultrasound, and I can't wait! I am so excited about it, I'm on pins and needles practically waiting for it to come! I want so badly to see my baby! I am really glad the midwives asked us to have an US. :-) And then waiting for December so I can hold him.... oh, glory!

  1. Yay! It is really exciting waiting for our own sweet babies! It's funny that sugar makes babies so hyper. When I started putting on weight, I put on 10 lbs in the space of about two weeks!!! It was astonishing. If Lisa hadn't told me not to worry because that happened with increased blood volume and baby growth I would have thought I'd gone overboard. The weight gain curve hasn't been quite that steep since then, but we've both continued growing! Still, they say women are supposed to gain around 35 lbs during pregnancy, and one model said that during her pregnancy she was finally able to let herself eat whatever she wanted and gained like 50 lbs! I can't wait for you to see your baby too! :0)
