Baby Update - February 2009

[mandysee_mandydo]

Yesterday painted_wolf and I went for another visit to the OB/GYN. We got to hear our baby's heartbeat again, and also heard the baby moving around, too. PW still isn't feeling any movement, but she most likely will soon. In two weeks we're going for another ultrasound, so we're really looking forward to that. Our next visit to the OB/GYN is in a month. I can't believe how quickly it's flying by. It seems like only just a few days ago that we found out, but PW is 16 weeks along. We're almost at the halfway point!

We've signed up for parenting classes through the OB/GYN and start those in May. In the meantime, we've been receiving so much baby stuff from friends, which is just so amazingly helpful. We're waiting on two more packages to come in, and then we're going to fill out our registries and send out a letter to friends and families with information on how to find the registries and information on how we plan to raise our child and how best everyone can help. We are very grateful for the help of chenoachem and quantumswordsmn with the information and baby stuff they've provided!

Is she high risk? Is that why they are doing all the ultrasounds? Around here they only do 2 or 3 unless there are complications. I hope that all is well with Kathy and the baby.(and you of course)

No, she's okay. The first was just because we were unsure if we were correct on the conception date. We were going by her most recent menstrual cycle, but it was extremely short and light, so since there was a chance we may have succeeded a month earlier than we thought, the OB/GYN felt it would be good to get an ultrasound to determine for sure so we could plan all of our appointments appropriately.

This one coming up is the 18-week ultrasound which is pretty typical.

So far Kathy and baby are both doing well and very healthy! :)
