Week 17


This week flew by. I feel like every time I am satisfied with a blog entry I have to write another one. I had my monthly doctor’s appointment yesterday. He said everything is good. The baby’s heartbeat sounds good. He recommended I get the test done for spina bifida. So immediately after the 4 minute appointment with the doctor, I went to get my blood drawn. I told the doctor my concern about only gaining 4lbs so far and he said it was perfectly normal. If I was 95 pounds and gained only 4lbs, then we would need to worry. But since I am a healthy young (hey! It’s my blog I can say anything about myself. Yes so what I’ll be 29 next month. A baby before 30- mission accomplished!!!) lady, 4 pounds is not a bad thing. I guess the ultrasound next week will validate that the baby is growing just fine. Plus my theory is that since I am not taking in those empty calories, winebeerandvodaka, I am technically losing and gaining weight at the same time.

Let’s see – oh, I started noticing that dark line right under my belly button this week. There is very faint one above it. It’s not completely dark yet, but it’s definitely a darker shade than my belly color. I also noticed my belly button is kinda in between – not an inny or an outty.

No pictures of me this week, but seriously check out this kid. Isn’t she the cutest thing you’ve ever seen. I’ll give $5 to the person who picks out the real baby.
