Dear Baby: Part Eight

July 23, 2014

Dear Baby,
We are getting very close to finding out what you are going to be! A boy or a girl, that is! Our ultrasound is scheduled for next Friday. I hope it's the only one we have to do (although I don't know the intricacies of pregnancy still, so maybe there's another required one... I don't know), especially because we are having your Gender Reveal Party the very next day. Then your dad and I can start arguing about what to name you. Oh... that should be fun ;)

Yesterday, I had my third check-up with you. I got to hear your heartbeat again, and though Dr. Lown wasn't there (he was off to deliver another baby!), the PA was very nice and said it sounds like you are doing well in there. She also told me all my pains and ouchies are more or less normal, and that I'm growing (and gaining weight) just about the right amount. I am finally showing, although not a whole lot, but I need to work on getting something to make my pants bigger! Erika suggested belly bands, for when the hair ties I'm using to keep the buttons together aren't going to work anymore.

I really need to start taking baby bump photos too. I feel like I will be disappointed if I don't do it soon. Now that I'm showing, it might be a good idea, otherwise you'll get too big too fast! I've been slacking on keeping up with my own stuff... if it's not something someone paid for, I just watch TV instead ;) But we'll start getting motivated soon. With the party coming up next weekend, I better! Lots to do!

We'll SEE you next Friday!

Love, Mom
