Last Saturday I went to Camden and had a great visit with my Mom, Aunt, and Grandmother. We basically talked all day. I had a great time talking about babies with the women in my family. It makes me even more excited to make my Mom a Grandmother, my Grandmother a great Grandmother, and my Aunt a great Aunt.
This week the baby is the size of an onion, the skeleton is changing from cartilage to bone and the baby weighs 5 ounces and is 5 inches long. It’s now only 3 weeks and 1 day until we find out if it’s a boy or girl and we can NOT wait!! Several people have told us they think it’s a girl, but I keep thinking it’s a boy because Brandon’s mom went through a lot of the stuff I’m going through, (like heartburn and being so hot all the time!) which leads me to believe it’s Brandon’s son in there giving me problems! :)
Last Thursday I had a doctor’s appointment for a regular checkup. My blood pressure is exactly where it’s supposed to be, which is good to hear because Brandon worries about my blood pressure because I add salt to everything :) I also am measuring exactly where I’m supposed to be. We got to hear the heartbeat again and this time my doctor was able to find it faster and we heard it beating stronger than ever!
I’m starting to be hungry all the time and having trouble sleeping. Last week I ordered a pregnancy body pillow because I had a gift card from my very thoughtful mother in law and I’ve been trying it out this week. It helps a little bit with the hip pain that comes with having to sleep on one side all night. I also got a bella band over the weekend and have tried it out a couple of times. It’s great and I wonder why I didn’t try it before. It’s a band that goes over regular pants and holds them up and turns them into instant maternity pants. It’s like magic!
Tonight, Brandon and I are heading to Gatlinburg to spend a long weekend with his parents. We haven’t been to Gatlinburg together since we got engaged over 6 years ago. We’re looking forward to lots of sleeping late, good food, mini golf and spending time with his parents.
