This past Tuesday marked the half way point in my pregnancy! I'm so excited to be one week closer to meeting our precious baby girl! I had my doctors appointment on Friday and as always I had to wait a while! It was Friday the 13th and by the time I got in to see the doctor, she had just returned from delivering two babies and had three more women that would deliver that night! My doctor is absolutely WONDERFUL so I don't mind waiting for her! They checked my weight and I made sure that she measured my belly. It seems that all of a sudden my belly has "blossomed" and I feel so much bigger! I've been getting a lot more comments about it. Dr. Oliveria assured me that I had gained the perfect amount of weight and that my belly was measuring exactly as it should. She said "you're just short so there's not really anywhere else for her to go but out!" I just can't wait to see what this belly looks like around 35 weeks, ha! Joy! My favorite part of every appointment is getting to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat on the doppler machine. Dr. Oliveria put the wand on my stomach and there it was, loud and clear. She said, "Now that is a happy, healthy baby!"
From what I can tell, baby girl is resting very LOW in my stomach. On all my sonograms and when they use the doppler she seems very low, maybe an inch or so below my belly button. I guess this explains why the restroom is now my second home! I think I set a record a few nights ago by going 5 times from the time I went to bed until the time I got up! I told a friend at school that I was going to put my name on the restroom door and start having class in there!
I've also been eating A LOT these last couple of weeks. Jon on the other hand has decided to go on a diet. He has lost almost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. I am so proud of him! We went to Snuffers last week and when they brought our food the waitress tried to give me the salad and Jon the bacon cheeseburger. I said "Oh no, that massive burger is mine, he'll take the salad." I've also gone through an eight pound bag of grapefruits in about a week and a half! Yum!
Finally, we have decided on a name for our little one! We are however still working on the spelling so as soon as we get that part down, a post will be coming! Stay tuned!
20 Weeks-Half Way!!!
