Well, I went to the doctor today for a routine 4-week checkup and my belly has grown 3 cm (north to south) since four weeks ago and in total I have gained 10 pounds. I have a bit of a soccer ball for a belly now and our little buddy kicks and moves quite a bit everyday (which makes his mommy really happy) and I can see my belly move with his kicks several times a day. He's definitely getting stronger! His heart rate today was 154 beats per minute and the doctor found it right away with the doppler - boy was it loud! I'll be going for my glucose tolerance test in the next two weeks or so and then I'll have another doctor visit in four weeks. After that I will be seeing her every two weeks.
Keith and I went to a few baby stores this past weekend, bought some very cute outfits, began a registry and we've even ordered the crib (we should be able to pick it up in about two weeks from the store in New Orleans) - we were pretty busy but had a lot of fun looking at all the tiny (and other not so tiny) baby things!
I've had the ultrasound tape transferred to DVD but I have yet to figure out how to load it so that you guys can view it so I'll work on that next. I'm going to get Keith to take a few pictures of me so that those of you who are out of town can see how my belly has grown (it seems to have really "popped" in the last couple of weeks).
Ok, I think that's it for now...
