Latest Scan

I had a follow up scan last Thursday. These pictures are the best from that appointment. The tech was all business, so they aren't the greatest. You can see that the baby is growing. From measurements taken during the scan, the baby is estimated to weigh 2 lbs 6 oz. The baby has almost tripled in size in the last month!! Fortunately, the weight estimate is in-line with the gestational age.

Today, I had a regular doctor's appointment. Again, everything is fine. My weight is also on track which is good. During this appointment, I had the glucose tolerance test. This test involves drinking a very sugary drink (mine was like uncarbonated, syrupy sunkist - kind of gross). Then you wait an hour and have blood taken for analysis to see how well your body processes sugar. Hopefully, results come back fine - otherwise, there's a follow on test that takes three hours and multiple servings of yucky sunkist.

The craziest thing about this appointment was that I had to complete pre-registration form for the hospital. We're starting to get close. I'm realizing that the next step is delivering this baby - an idea that kind of freaks me out. I'm trying to take it all in stride.

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
