I still feel great, but I'm becoming more aware of my belly with each passing day. Up until recently, I could see a belly growing but I didn't feel all that different. All of the sudden, I'll bend over to get something out of the dryer, or put on my pants, and realize that there is a belly in the way!
We had a follow-up ultrasound a couple of weeks ago to check on Munchkin's slightly enlarged kidneys. This is very common and they're not too concerned. I was hoping it would all be normal at the 2nd ultrasound, but there hasn't been much of a change. The good news is that the baby is still growning right on track, and there is plenty of amniotic fluid. ***Ed/Alex was a little disturbed when I explained that this meant the baby's "output" was still good. "You mean the baby pees in there???!!!????" "Well...kind of...it's not really as gross as it sounds".*** Anyway, we'll go back in a few weeks for another ultrasound just to make sure the fluid levels are still where they should be. Once Ed/Alex has time to scan the latest pictures I'll be sure to post those.
Ed/Alex finished painting the baby's room. It's........VERY yellow. More so than I imagined when we picked out the color. So, Munchkin will have a very bright and sunny room. Hopefully we can keep it from looking like Pee Wee's Playhouse!
So....things are moving right along. It's all starting to seem so real.
You look absolutely gorgeous!!
