I had my third OB appointment last week on Wednesday March 23rd.
I haven't really gained any weight -- which is fine with me, since I started this one about 20 pounds heavier then I wanted to be. My blood pressure was fine ...actually I think they said it was kind of low. And asked if I was having issues with dizziness very often. Of course, I said YES. Because I have had those issues.
We listened to the babies heartbeat and Ethan's expression when he hears it is just so priceless. He really is excited for a new baby to come!
They measured me for the first time this checkup and I measured at 17 when they think I am only 15 weeks along. (That's a story all on it's own) I have self proclaimed my due date to be Sept 6th rather than the Sept 14th date that the early ultrasound gave. So according to that, I was 16 weeks and measuring at 17 isn't such a big deal then. But who knows, we'll find out more at the next appointment.
So the DR. said that's a big growth. Matter of fact thats a HUGE growth!
But now we have our Ultrasound scheduled for the 27th of April. Which is Kaylee's 12th birthday!
My morning sickness isn't as severe as it was a month ago. I still have issues with nausea but at least it isn't 24/7 as it used to be. And I'm starting to have a little more energy then I did in February. I still get tired pretty easily though. And my five kids seriously keep me busy.
Here are a few pictures that I've taken so far.
