27 Weeks

I can't believe how quickly things are moving, this pregnancy now seems like it's flying by!  Below is my 27 week picture, I took it right before my doctor's appointment on January 13th.  



Everything was great at my doctor's appointment!  I had gained 2 pounds over the last month, which wasn't bad considering that it included Christmas.  I also had the stomach flu last week, so that may have had something to do with it.  I am now up 21 pounds.  It still is difficult watching the scale increase every time I go in, but I'm just trying to be as healthy as possible and I know this weight is good for the baby! 

The baby's heartbeat was good at 135, and my blood pressure was really good.  Dr. Martin measured my stomach, and it was measuring more like 29 weeks than 27.  She said that the baby could be big, or it could just be because I'm small and carrying all in the front.  I told her I was afraid of having a 10 pound baby, and she jokingly said I should have married someone smaller.  Ha!  I now start seeing my doctor every two weeks, wow!

Tonight Blair and I are taking our baby care basics class, we will learn how to give the little guy a bath, how much to feed him, etc.    I'm really excited for this class since all of this will be new information for us, we have no idea how to take care of a newborn!  :)
