- Baby weighs 3 1/2 pounds and total length is 18 inches.
I saw my OB doctor today for the 2 week check-up. He read the ultrasound sound report from two weeks ago. Like we knew, the kidney is not any bigger. He said the baby is in the 25th percentile for size and he said that I won't have a big baby, just an "average" size. I imagine this means 7 to 8 pounds, which suits me just fine! The doctor also said the the amniotic fluid around the baby is a high-normal amount, which he says is great and "they love". Heart rate was around 147 and sounded strong and wonderful. Plan is for another ultrasound in 5-6 weeks to check the kidney and baby's size. And I'll see the doctor again in 2 weeks for the routine check-up. A+ report for Baby Hartsell today!
Heartburn is really an awful thing. I never experienced heartburn before pregnancy. It's been tormenting me for a couple of months now. TUMS are my new best friend at moments and they actually are starting to gross me out because I've eaten so many of them lately. Some say that if you have heartburn the baby will have hair. I'd love to have a baby with a full head of hair. But of course will love a bald Baby Hartsell just as much. However, if Baby is bald I'll be sure to ask what all the heartburn fuss was all about.
Brent is back in Grand Rapids again this week for more school training. This week is "mentor training". Brent was asked to be a mentor teacher, which means he will have a group of teachers he'll work with and help throughout the year. He was a mentor teacher at his last school, River's Edge. Quite a compliment to be asked to be one again. I think there are four teachers from Reach that will be mentors and he is there with them all week. He'll be home on Thursday. I'm missing him terribly. He came home last Friday from the previous week's training and we had a nice weekend together. He had to leave on Sunday evening and I cried as he left. I hate being alone and miss him so when he's gone. But, Thursday will be here before I know it. He called today on his lunch break to get Baby's update after the doctor appointment and he was also pleased with the A+ report.
Saturday we were in South Bend for my friend Erin Cain's wedding. Now she is Erin Nawrot. Really a lovely wedding and Erin looked absolutely beautiful. She was glowing on her wedding day! Her dress and hair were perfect. It was wonderful to see her and meet her new husband. Her new step-son, Thomas, is 3 years old and is a real cutie. He seems to love her as I know how much she loves him. Best wishes to the new Nawrots!
I had the day off work today. It's been a nice day. I slept in and took a nap in the afternoon (heavenly). I've been hanging around the house trying to make sense of the leftover boxes and piles of stuff that I don't know where to put yet. Unpacking is the pits!
Hope everyone had a good day and will have a good week! I'll be here trying to keep myself busy until Brent comes home. Plan: 1) Tackle a couple of more boxes, 2) Take Jo-Jo for walks, 3) Watch lots of Lifetime or other shows Brent hates, 4) Try not to eat all of ice cream in freezer myself, 5) Think lots about Baby!
