This and That

I am feeling good today - or as good as I can at 25 and a half weeks pregnant. I am slow moving these days and get tired easily. The stairs at work are getting harder to climb....getting ready for work in the morning is becomg more of a task, etc, etc...

It is cold out again today - it was only around 3 C this morning. We still have to have heaters on at home...it's crazy!!

We have our Systems Forum tomorrow night and Saturday. Greg and Lesley are going to babysit for us. Evan will have fun with them I'm sure.

The baby's kicks are getting stronger and stronger, not only can you feel them you can see them.

He kicked Evan in the hand a couple times last night. He thought that was pretty cool.

Evan says Good Morning and kisses his baby brother every day. This morning he sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to him. It is so cute to see.

He is very excited and can't wait for the baby to 'crawl' out of my belly...lol

Since we have our work forum this weekend, next week we are picking paint colors and Rob is going to paint the baby's room next weeknd.

I can't wait to see it completed!

24 Week Appointment

My ultrasound results were there - everything is good with that - no abnormalities found, and there is definitely just ONE fetus. He was breech at the ultrasound and he is still breech, which really doesn't matter since I'm having a c-section anyway.

I had my 24 week checkup with a Nurse Practitioner working with Dr. Hatcher.

Here are the stats:

Blood Pressure: 106/58

Urine: All Good

Baby's Heartbeat: Found immediately - it was strong...not sure of the exact rate

Total Weight Gain: 3.5 lbs. this month - that's 10.5 total weight gain at 24 weeks

Measurements: I am still measuring ahead, at 24 weeks along I am measuring 27 weeks

I have some edema (swelling) in my legs and hands and she said to watch it.

We Bought Crib Bedding!!

We bought a bedding set for the baby yesterday at Toys-R-Us. It's in a Safari theme that I wanted, in the colors I like. I am so sick of blue walls. Evan's nursery walls were blue on the bottom and his big boy room has blue walls.

We are planning on painting the nursery walls Sage Green on top and darker tan on the bottom - there's a white chair rail that divides the colors.

I can't wait to see it all come together.

Now, if only we can come up with a name for this little one...that's next on the list.

Scratch Swing of the "To Get" List!!

Here's a couple pics of the Fisher-Price Aquarium Swing we bought last night off a local newsgroup. You'd swear we bought it new, it is in excellent condition. It was a bargain - I love bargains!!

Evan has fun playing with it when we brought it home. He tried every button and said that his thinks his baby brother is going to like this swing.
