I realize I've been neglectful of the blog since I started my new job, but I will try to post more often now that we've all gotten into the routine of things! A few things to look forward to:
The Yates' visit to the US - pictures to post
What it's like being a mommy with a full-time job outside the home (the good, the bad, and the in-progress)
The fun things Chloe is doing!
And updates on the new little one. We should find out the sex in 4-5 weeks!
After work today, I went in for a 15 week check up. Most mommies don't go in until 16 weeks, but with next week being a holiday, I decided to go a week early :)
Despite very few of my regular clothes still fitting, I have only gained 3 pounds. I'm not sure how the math on this one works out considering the massive amount of food I consume in one day and the fact that I have to wear prego pants, but according the the scale, I'm only up three pounds. My blood pressure was higher than it normally is (even during my pregnancy with Chloe) 124/74 but still in the normal range. I had a salty lunch so that may be the cause of the higher than normal for me BP. My fundus is measuring 15cm so the expansion of my middle is right on track! And then, for the most amazing sound, I got to hear the heartbeat of the little one!!! It's beating about 152 beats/minute. The only complaint I have is these headaches that won't seem to go away. My doctor suggested that the source of my headaches is dehydration and I think she's probably right. I don't get headaches on the weekends because I'm on my own schedule and can have all the water I want and go to the bathroom whenever I want. Unfortunately, as a teacher, I don't have that privilege! But, I will try bringing two water bottles with me during the day to see if that improves the pain in my head!
The very last part of my check up was the H1N1 vaccine. Even though I probably already had it, the doc said it wouldn't hurt if I got the vaccine just in case. So, a poke later, I got to leave.
Look for another baby update in four weeks!
