Ultrasound today confirmed that our sweet baby She-ra is still a girl. I say this because I have heard stories of seeing something in the ultrasound they didn't see before. But no, not for our little one. She is as healthy as can be. Weighing in at a hefty 11 ounces and measuring about 14cm. We saw ten fingers and ten toes! We couldn't be happier with the good news.
My placenta has moved and is no longer in the way, so I am off pelvic rest. This is really good news (for the obvious reason) but also because now I don't have to worry about it not moving and needing a C-Section.
My doctor had to have the weight gain talk with me, which I had been dreading. She said I am doing good now but that I need to be aware of it and make sure I'm working out, etc., etc. Now that I feel pretty good there's really no excuse for me to not be working out. I know this sounds like an excuse but this heat makes me not want to do anything at all! It's awful.
I had to bring my puppy, Beibers, to the vet yesterday. My vet took it upon himself to inform me of all his parenting wisdom. I found humor in most of it, but I'm pretty sure he was trying to talk me out of it (as if I could go back now). One thing he did mention actually made sense. I was complaining about being five months pregnant and suffering in this heat wave, and he said that it is actually perfect timing for me to be pregnant (huh?). Once I have the baby it will be Fall, and the weather will be cool. I'll be able to be outside with her. If I had her now, I would be stuck in the house. Hmmmm, good point.
She-ra pictures coming soon...
First off...HOORAH for having a placenta that moved!! As for the heat, it could be worse...you could be like me and be 32 weeks pregnant, the size of a whale, and in the heat! :-)
ReplyDeleteI also had the weight gain talk when I was pregnant with Evan. I gained a lot of weight rather quickly, but slowed down in my 2nd and 3rd trimester. (Not the same for this pregnancy though.) I'm sure that you'll be fine!
