25 weeks - Doctor Update

I went to the doctor yesterday - only gained 4 pounds - YAY! Things are going so smoothly, and Dr. Hodges is so great about making me feel good about how everything is going.

I had to wait about an hour past my appt time - but I found out why - there was a patient who came in, and they couldn't find her baby's heartbeat - they did an emergency ultrasound and found everything to be okay - but it put the whole schedule behind. I didn't mind waiting one bit - because if the same thing happened to us - I would want them to do whatever it took to make sure everything was okay!

I talked to the Dr. about my trip to Washington DC, and he said it would be no problem, just to take a baby asprin the day before and day of travel to avoid blood clots - no problem! We listened to the baby's heartbeat - still in the 150's and measured my belly - we are measuring exactly 25 weeks!!! Everything is great!

I get to do my glucose test next appt, and get a shot of Rhogam, so I don't develop antibodies to Rh factor, since I am Rh negative. Should be fun!

Thats all for now!

Aidan is getting STRONG

Dylan and I were laying in bed this morning, and all of a sudden, I felt Aidan KICK me. Not just the little tumbling and flutters I have felt before- but a true kick. I had Dylan hold his hand on my tummy - but he didn't feel it - so I laid his hand on the bed, and laid on my belly on his hand - then he could feel it. It is amazing to know that our little boy is in there growing bigger and stronger every day! Can't wait to meet him!
