Halloween and IP’s get together update

November 6, 2007 lisajones22

We have had a great month!!!  It was a busy one with my daughters birthday and all but this post will be about our OB visit.  I gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!  WOW but it only makes 5 total so were ok.  The OB said you just can’t do this every visit lol!!!  My b/p was 118/78 wonderful, and I had a little swelling but it might have been due to my legs hanging on the bed waiting for the OB he he he.  I passed my 1hr GTT (can’t remember if I said that already).  It was the 1st time I have passed it in all of my pregnancies!!!!  We have our next visit on the 13th and she will do a sono then to check the baby’s weight and my fluid levels.  I have always had a lot of amniotic fluid so that may be the weight gain.  We are 28 weeks today which is  7 months exactly!!  Wow we have less than 3 months to go.  I can’t wait to see my IP’s with their little boy!!!  Our next visit is the 13th of November and I will be 29 weeks and 1 day.  We are going every two weeks which is really exciting!!! 

We had a great time on Halloween.  We went to our church for a fall festival and the kids got a lot of candy!!!  I was a pumpkin smuggler.  I had that logo on my t-shirt and a pumpkin painted on my face.  My kids were a Egyptian princess and a red ninja.  They had a great time and of course got a lot of candy. 

Last Saturday we went to the Grapevine mills mall to meet with my IP’s.  We had so much fun!!!  The kids went ice skating for a little while and then we window shopped until it was time to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe.  It was very loud there!!!  Afterwards we went to a coffee shop and looked around while I sat in a comfy chair and my IF was able to feel his little munchkin move some!!  Mom felt him roll over at our visit just a few days before.  I am so blessed to have the IP’s I have.  They are really involved and the Mom comes to every OB visit!!!  They are such a great couple and we feel just as lucky as they do to be apart  of this journey together. 

I will update in the next few weeks on how our OB visits are and Thanksgiving!!!

Love to all,

Lisa
