I went to the midwife and she says all is good. I'm growing in all the right places - maybe gaining weight a little too fast (I gotta cut out some bread & pasta), but all looks great. The baby is just the right size for how old he/she should be and everything I was experiencing that I was hoping was normal - is.
I got lots of fun new medicines too. I get to try a new prenatal vitamin that doesn't make you sick because you take the iron separately before you go to bed. Working great so far. Then I got a package of Zanax for indigestion and heartburn because of that one horrible episode. I had another case of it yesterday. My mother suspects teriyaki. Hmmmmmm.
The baby has been moving around a lot which is also good. I thought I felt it for the first time yesterday, but it was too fleeting a feeling to be sure.
I'm starting to take bets on the sex and birthday. So far most people say it's a boy - including Aunt Noelene. (HI!) I've had very few say it's a girl. But one woman told me that the reason she knows it's a boy is because usually when you're having a girl you're really sick - and I haven't been. WOW. She and Nate should have a conversation sometime.
As for the birthday - I have a confession to make: I had my family doctor tell me I was due on Halloween while my midwife figured it was closer to November 3rd. Now which is more exciting?? So I've told EVERYONE Halloween when really, I think the midwife is more bang on. There are days that I am hoping for:
October 29th - Nate's birthday is July 29th and mine is March 29th - would make remembering the family birthdays quite simple really. Plus it's also the day my mom has her 50th birthday. Shhhhhh! Don't tell her I told you!
October 30 - Our good friend Scott celebrates his birth on this day and it's also the 100th anniversary of Nate's grandfathers birth.
But let's hear your guesses - what am I having and when will they be born?
