I had my check up today. I am 17 weeks today. My blood pressure was fine (100/80) and I have only gained 4 pounds during the entire pregnancy. This is good for me since I was overweight to begin with. The baby's heart rate is in the 140's (this is the same as Angie always was). We actually had to do a brief ultrasound to see the heart rate because Dr. Shin couldn't find it with the doppler. I wasn't worried though because I have already begun to feel the baby move so I knew everything was ok. I go back on August 27 to have a full ultrasound which will check the growth of the baby and determine the sex!!! That's all for now.
You can probably tell from the title of this blog what its about! Angie went on her first road trip last week. We went on a business trip with Daddy. We went to the exciting Huntsville, AL. Ok, so maybe not exciting but at least we were with Daddy. Angie did wonderful. The first day she didn't sleep all that well because we were in the same room, but after that she did just fine. She got to see her Daddy everyday before he left for work, at lunch, and as soon as he was done with work. Needless to say, she is now quite the Daddy's girl. When he would leave us after lunch to go back to work she would just cry and cry. Angie and I kept busy by playing in the hotel room, running the halls of the hotel and shopping. We didn't buy much but it was fun to look. They have a very nice mall in Huntsville so that was good. The only bad thing was the heat. It was over 100 degrees the first 2 days we were there. That was just miserable! Our hotel room was very nice and quite large so it made being there with Angie that much easier. I missed our cats greatly but I think I was the only one. Angie did fairly well in the car on the way there and back...much better than I expected her to. Although, after we got back, she wasn't happy about getting back in the car so that we could return the rental and go to dinner. Sorry this was so long but there was a lot to say about Angie's first trip!
Sorry its been awhile since my last post. There just hasn't been that much going on at our house. Angie is still as active as ever and she is wearing me out trying to keep up with her. She has a language all her own (gee, I wish I had a translator). We have finally gotten Angie comfortable being in the big pool. The first time she cried a lot and acted like she hated it but now she laughs while we are in there and we have even gotten her to kick her legs some. Nick tried blowing in her face and dunking her under the water last night...she did NOT like that! We finally got me a preggie bathing suit so that I can swim with them (I did not have any bathing suits that fit me!) which seems to make Angie a little more comfortable. She had a lot of fun last night going between the two of us. I don't have any pics of Angie enjoying the water, those are on the camera and I don't know how to get them off.
There isn't anything new to report on the pregnancy. I think I might have felt the baby move a little last night but I am not really sure. It may have been nothing but my imagination. I guess that's all for now. I promise not to wait so long before posting again.
I had my doctor's appointment yesterday. I am now 13 weeks, so at the end of the 13th week I will be out of my 1st trimester! All was well with the baby. The hearbeat was in the 150's. We couldn't get a specific number because my heartbeat was overlapping the baby's heartbeat. When we had Angie, the first time we heard her heartbeat it was completely clear and strong. This time I had to strain to hear the baby's heartbeat because it was behind mine! Dr. Shin did say that she could hear the baby moving, even though I can't feel it! I go back in 4 more weeks.
Sorry, no pics this time. There was no need for another ultrasound.
