I did an update yesterday so if you haven’t scrolled down yet, make sure you go back and check that post out. I know I don’t normally post two days in a row so I didn’t want to throw everyone off!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Love,

Since our leap day appointment we had another regularly scheduled appointment with my OB. The only issue I have with my OB is that he is a huge Yankees fan. Hahahaha Baseball season is amongst us so you know the trash talking has begun! Other than that little fault, I really like him. He seems to really know his stuff and always give us all the time we need to ask all of our questions. I know this guy saw NEW PARENTS written all over our face when we walked into his office back in November. He hasn’t had to grab us by the shoulders yet and tell us to snap out of it so that’s good. We must not be freaking out too bad!
My appointments have been going really well. Thank goodness! My sugar levels continue to remain consistent and my blood pressure has been outstanding! I have read a bunch of information that says during your second trimester it goes down but should return to normal in the third trimester. I am still carefully watching my diet and exercising so I hope that when I hit the third trimester my blood pressure continues to stay normal. I know swelling and discomfort are part of the deal with being pregnant but I really don’t want swelling or discomfort! I mean really, who does? However, if walking or riding my spinning bike helps with the swelling and discomfort, you’ll find me on the track or walking my neighborhood! I can just hear all you moms out there laughing at me. Saying, she thinks she’ll be out there in the 9th month! Hahaha
At the appointment before the leap day appointment, I had gained two pounds and I figured here is where the baby and all the extra blood and fluids I’m carrying were going to start to outweigh my good food choices and exercise. But then at my latest appointment I had lost 4 lbs! Yay!

My doctor had looked over all the ultrasound pictures that were taken the week before and said that everything looked good and that our little girl was growing and developing very well. He also said the latest results to our disabilities screening had come back and everything looked normal there too. We sure do like hearing such great news. Keep the good news coming!!
This Sunday we start week 22! I have already started to feel the flutters I was told would be coming. I normally only feel them when I’m sitting at my desk at work. They aren’t strong enough to feel while I’m walking or moving around. The other day I was sitting at my desk at work and she must have given me a huge kick or punch because it was the strongest one I had felt yet and it totally caught my attention. I immediately emailed Lance telling him about it! I can’t wait until she’s kicking and moving and he can feel it. Every night before we go to bed he lies right next to my stomach and talks to her. He always tries to get her to kick me, but so far she hasn’t done it on command. Last night he was encouraging her to kick me and he was waiting patiently trying to feel any movement, but she wasn’t going for it. As soon as I turned over she began kicking. I started laughing and told Lance that she was already toying with him! Hahaha She is so going to rule this household.

Lance has continued to be awesome and has continued to be the rock I need at times. Going through all of this with him has really made it so much easier on me. For that I am truly grateful! He has really picked up a lot of the things I used to do around the house since I have school two days a week and when I’m not in school, I feel like I’m always walking. Just knowing that things are getting done really does take a bunch of stress out of my life. I really do have the best husband ever!
This is the latest picture of our baby girl. Even though this isn't a high resolution shot, we are starting to see more features especially on her face. In case you can't tell what you're looking at, she's laying on her side, and her head is on the right of the picture. She is laying on her hand.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Love,
