23 week preggers update

Cute little face pics

Yesterday we had our 5th visit to our most awesome baby doctor (I really can’t say enough great things about her; happy she’s part of team meandering delivery!)  She says our little man is doing super fantastic.  He weighes in at 1 lb, 6 oz; according to BabyCenter he’s about the size of a mango this week.  We got to hear his little heart; it’s beating around 145 BPM.  And, we got to do another ultrasound, which was great because we got more pics.  Check out the pics above… I know, I know, you have to use a little imagination to see his little face.  But I think it’s pretty cute! :)

As for meandering mommy… things are just fine in the preggers department.  I have an incredible appetite now– if I’m not dreaming about our little guy then my thoughts are pretty much consumed by food :)  I keep thinking, is that ok? And… I have finally started to feel the nut ‘fluttering’ about.  It’s very exciting!!!  No kicking yet; just a butterfly kinda feel.  I love it!

I do have something to whine about… preggers has a COLD.  It was bound to happen.  Hubby was sick last week, and the week before when we had our family visting for the gobble, gobble holiday, one family member brought us this lovely present that just keeps on giving (or should I say sucking the energy from you!  It’s bad enough that the nut has pretty much eaten my brain; now with this cold, what am I’m I gonna do?)  Thank you very much for this early present (don’t worry, you haven’t been transferred to my naughty list :) )  I’m not a very good sicky patient when I’m not preggers BUT being sick and preggers… Ugh!  I basically just have to suck it up until this cold goes away.  I’m thinking about strapping a kleenex box to my face and my throat is so sore (whine, whine, whine).  I can’t take any of those ‘good meds’.  No Nyquil for me.  I know, I know… this too shall pass. I just want this cold to hurry up and go away already!

Off to make some hot tea and settle in for some TiVo watching.  sniff, sniff!
