Still Going

We are still going strong. We are a little over 3 weeks from our due date and no problems so far. At last check, 2 weeks ago, Henry was weighing in at 5 lb 9 oz. We will have one final ultrasound next week to get final measurements. He should be over 6 1/2 to 7 lbs by that point.

I'm a slacker

It has been a while since I have updated. Everything is going great, we are 27 weeks today. We had an ultrasound on Tuesday and Henry (if I haven't mentioned, that's the baby's name)was weighing in at 2lb 7oz and is 8 days ahead of schedule. He is going to be a big boy.
We are in the process of planning Ashlea's baby shower. That will be in early February. She is so excited. Henry already has a closet full of clothes!
Here is a picture of the handsome little man. I am one proud Grandma!

It's a ........

BOY

You could have knocked me over with a feather. I just knew it was a girl, so much for intuition.

Everything looked good, all of the test showed one perfect little boy. We were 17w4d and he measured 18w3d so he is still a little ahead of schedule.

Here are some gorgeous pictures of Ashlea and Bill's little man.

Check out this belly!

Here is a belly shot from 14 weeks, we are now 16w5d so it is probably even bigger by now. I have gained 10 pounds already and I think my belly is hugh to be 4 months. We find out on 11/12 what the sex is so be sure to check back. Ashlea and I have both taken that day off work. We will be doing a little baby shopping.

Today is my Birthday

So, today is my 51st birthday. Who would think about being pregnant at 51!! Actually it hasn't been that bad. I have had lots of things that I never had when I was pregnant at 21. Like heartburn and acid reflux so bad that sometimes I don't even want to eat because I know what is going to happen. My stomach muscles have been very sore, I never had this before but I understand it is from the muscles stretching. Other that fatigue, that is about it. The fatigue is much better than it was, I don't know that it will be back to 100% until the baby is born, after all I am 51, right? The good thing is that I have had NO morning sickness, not even a little, thank god for that. If I had to deal with the morning sickness on top of being extremely tired, I don't know that I would have made it through the day.

13 Weeks

We are 13 weeks today. Officially made it through the first trimester and start the second episode of this journey.

First appointment with OB

Today was our first appointment with our OB. All went well. First we had an appointment with the doctor, that was very routine, internal exam, blood test, just the routine first appointment. After the doctor we had an appointment for our nuchal transluency test.If you don't know this is an ultrasound where they check for Down's Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. We did not get the final results of that but the doctor said it looked good. We also got to look at the little baby and he/she was dancing around and putting on a show for Mommie and Daddy. We are 11w4d and the baby measured 12w2d. It was a very exciting appointment!!
