Month 4 is Done!

I am officially 17 weeks today! Yay!

We had our 3rd doctor's appointment on Monday and everything went really well. I gained the recommended amount of weight, unlike last time where I gained double! I blame it on training. Training causes me to gave 5 pounds each year! So, I don't blame those five pounds on the baby. :) My blood pressure was within normal range, but I think my systolic number was a little bit on the high side. My blood pressure has really improved since Labor Day weekend. I think it was because of the extra days I had off and that whole week wasn't stressful at all. I'm wondering if it's going to go back up again now that work has picked up. **Sigh** we'll see. The baby's heart rate was in the 160s. When we first got to hear the heartbeat, it was in the 170s and they told us that it'll start slowing down the further along I get. The doctor measured my uterus (weird, I know) and I measured normally which I find shocking because I feel really big to only be 4 months along. I now have the same waist size as Steven! I never thought I would ever say that! Oh well...I still think this is going to be a huge baby! =)

Our next appointment is October 12th where we get to do the big ultrasound for anatomy and we also get to find out the gender. Hopefully the baby won't be shy and cross it's legs! I just really want to know so I can go clothes shopping!!!

Which reminds me, Lydia is in town for ACL. She gave us the baby origami book that Steven really wanted! It shows different ways to swaddle the baby. We were looking at it last night before we went to bed and I ended up dreaming about swaddling babies all night! We also made a pit-stop at the Co-op and she bought the baby the cutest longhorn onesie and matching cap!!! I can't wait to see the baby in it's first longhorn outfit!

This is already one spoiled kid. We've gotten so much stuff from everyone already, it's like getting married all over again except that I can't plan everything out to the last detail. :)

Anyways, we're going to see Hairspray this weekend...yay! Also, a very happy birthday shout out goes to Tia Maria who turns 27 tomorrow!
