25 Weeks

Hello all!

I went in for my 25 week appointment today. At today's appointment I was given the gestational diabetes test, I also had my TSH level tested. I will be getting the results of those by next week I believe.

Baby is doing well. His heartbeat sounded great. My doctor is very pleased with where my blood pressure is currently and says that I have done a GREAT job with my weight gain...only 7 pounds total, so far!! I was measuring at 30 instead of only 25, but she said that could be from the position the baby was in at the time. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Friday to check out his size, etc. so we will know more after that.

She now wants me to see a doctor every two weeks...mainly to keep an eye on my blood pressure. My next doctor's visit is on Friday March 13. Once I reach 32 weeks I will be going in every week and will have a stress test (which is when they put a fetal monitor on me) and a biophysical profile (which is an ultrasound).

Otherwise we are all doing well. So far we have been staying healthy, so that is a blessing. We have the house pretty much set for baby, though we do want to buy some new furniture (couch and rocking chair) before his arrival! We have repainted the kids bedrooms. The boys will be sharing Sydney's old room, and Sydney moved into Christopher's old room. We have a little more work to do on Sydney's room before it is complete. Our good friend Brittany is assisting with the painting! :)

Happy Birthday dear Miranda!! We love you!
