21week OB visit

September 19, 2007 lisajones22

Today I went to the OB and both of the parents were there.  It is still a boy!!!!!! Whew!!!!!  A big boy based on the sono he he.  They were so happy.  The Dad was just beside himself with all the wonder of the baby’s features.  They did all the measuring today of all the organs and belly and head.  There is no spinabifida, cleft pallat, or neuro difformity!!!!  We even saw the little nose and mouth.  Some of y’all may think it is stupid but when I saw the nose and mouth is was just sooooo cute it reminded me of my cat.  When babies are this small there upper lip is more pronounced and it just looked like the sweet face of my kitty who I love very much!!!  Boy was this boy active.  We even saw him to a karate 1, 2 punch by his face.  How cute!!!!  The parents were so happy and it was really a special time. 

We got to hear his heart beat and it was great at 150.  Also when they were listning to the heart beat we could hear him moving around so much!!  Infact both of the parents got to feel their baby move on my tummy!!!  It was very touching.  The got to feel their baby move for the 1st time.  I am just so excited for them!!!!!!!! 

Well the rest of the visit went great and after next months visit we move to every 2 weeks.  Wow I can’t belive it is moving so fast!!!  As far as the weight gain, I lost 4 lbs in the first trimester and just now gained 2 lbs back so we are still 2 lbs down from the prepregnancy weight.  Whoooooooooo Hooooooooooo.  Everything is fine with the baby and he is growing very nicely and is healthy as am I. Here is my 21week belly.   This is also a silly pic I took of my belly.  I was on my Mom’s deck and took it with my cell phone at the very top of my belly close to my body.  funny!!!!

 On to my other life, Chris had shoulder surgery last week and is sooooo much pain.  We go for his post-op visit tomorrow so hopefull they will have good news about the projected recovery. 

The kids are back in school and it is going well.  As long as I stay on top of them doing their homework ha ha ha.  Here is a picture of Andrew in his new haircut.  I was eating lunch with him and we had fun!!!

Nothing else new with us.  I will write again next week.  My love to you all.  Lisa
