Appointment update

Everything looks good so far! I've gained 9 pounds so far, and baby is measuring right on track. The official results of the ultrasound show that everything is normal. I took a glucose tolerance test today (standard procedure, they're not worried about anything), and results should be back next week. I expect it to come back normal, so no worries there either. The next appointment is in one month. After that we'll start going every 3 weeks.

August = HOT!!

It has been really hot here, though not as bad as it could be, at least not for August. We have yet to break 100 degrees, though it is coming this week. All in all, it has been a mild summer, and we're grateful. We've been enjoying our pool and outings to the zoo. We don't have any pictures yet for this month, but here are a few that I haven't yet posted from last month.

Here's Gwydion, ready for a short road trip. He picked out his own snacks!

Here is a pic of Gwydion's new favorite critter. These are swallowtail caterpillars that have found my bronze fennel plant. They're welcome to it, as we have more than enough to share! Gwydion has a great time watching them grow.

We're having a...

BOY!

Here are some pics from the ultrasound.

And finally, the boy parts! He wasn't shy at all!

Summer Fun!

Here are some cute pics of Gwydion. He's quite the little ham and demands that I take pictures of him as often as he remembers.

Cute boy!

Gwydion wanted some pics of himself with the flowers and butterflies, but he forgot to smile.

Swimming time!

Swimming with Daddy is so much fun.

My little fish!

Finally, a belly pic!

This is me and baby at 18 weeks. I don't suppose I really look pregnant to anyone else but me and hubby at this point, but I sure feel like it!

In a few weeks we'll have some ultrasound pics to post. I can hardly wait!

Long time, no update

We've been busy, as you can guess. With an active 3 year old and a new one on the way, life is pretty hectic! Here are some recent pics:

Trains, trains, everywhere. Don't try to walk through here, it hurts!

We went to the lake but the recent rains made every bit of beach disappear. Luckily we found the playground!

16 week appointment

We had a monthly checkup today. I'm back up to 119 lbs, so I've gained back the 6-8 lbs I lost due to morning sickness. The doctor was very happy about that. The baby's heartbeat was 151 bpm, and doc says everything is fine! Next month will be the big ultrasound, so we'll get to see baby and hopefully get some good pics. For those of you dying to know the sex, we may be able to find out then (if the little one cooperates!). That's it for now- I'll let you know when we know more.
