Baby Update

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

So today Bevan, Parker ( hehe) and I had an appointment with the doctor. We literally waited for 50 minutes( mind you, 50 minutes past the scheduled appt) just to see the doctor for 2 minutes at the most! However, it was a good two minutes. We heard her heartbeat again, and "my uterus" ( this phrase grosses Bevan out. I wonder if he actually knows what happens when I give birth?) is measuring right on schedule. I also found out I am 28 weeks, NOT 27- which means I am now in my SEVENTH month. Needless to say I had a panic attack when the nurse told me that.
I have also gained a total of 15 lbs... :/
I realize that gaining weight is part of the pregnancy package...but its just hard to see it continuously go up every month- especially when I was 10 lbs over my desired weight before I got pregnant. But oh well, I just hope I only gain about 10 more lbs before this all over and done with.
But I'll stop whining now and share some interesting facts about Parker at 28 weeks of fetal development...
*She can now open and close her eyes
*She now sleeps for 20-30 Minutes at a time
*Her eye color has been determined, but may change
*She weighs about 3 lbs and is 2-3" long

Have a good St. Pattys day!!

I love the name you have chosen. I can't believe you are 7 months along! It goes so quickly. It may not seem like it when you are pregnant but then you look back on it and notice how fast time flies.
