Third appointment

Most of the appointments between now and 7 months or so will be pretty quick and straightforward. They check weight, blood pressure, the baby's heartbeat, and poke at my belly to make sure everything is growing properly. This time I lost another pound, which was rather unexpected, as I have been feeling much better than I did with Gwydion. We did hear the baby's heartbeat on the doppler- it was 156 beats per minute. The next appointment will be in about a month. Oh, and I know I still need to get the 8 week ultrasound picture up- I'm just waiting on a scanner.


Here it is:

Happy Birthday Gwydion!!!!

Here are the highlights of Gwydion's 3rd birthday. He picked out his own cake and decorations. For a while it was up in the air. He looked at Curious George, Blue's Clues, and Bob the Builder, but in the end, it came down to Thomas (as we knew it would).

Opening presents. Gwydion got lots of neat stuff!

The back yard might have been the best part of the party. The kids really
enjoyed playing in the bouncer and on all the other toys.

Second appointment!

We had our second doctor appointment yesterday. Since my symptoms decreased dramatically in the last week, the doctor ordered an ultrasound. We got to see our precious little bean again! So far I'm feeling well- the morning sickness is much lighter than last time around. I've only lost one pound this month instead of the 4-5 I lost with Gwydion. I'll call that an improvement! I'll try to get the pic up later today, though I'm warning you, it still doesn't look like much!
