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.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.
