Dr. Appt 3/2/10

We had our 20 week doctor appointment today (actually 19 weeks and 5 days, but who's counting besides me??). Anyway, it went well! We did not have an ultrasound. Brad and I were beginning to think we would have one every appointment, but we didn't today and won't the next time. The next one will be at 28 weeks. I'm fine with that since we had the one with Dr. Levine and they measured everything in great detail. The heartbeat today was 152. I am still measuring big. The report from the Dr. Levine visit said I'm measuring in the 72 percentile. If I continue that until 40 weeks, I will have a 8.5+ pound baby!! In case you forgot, I'm 5'2"! I will probably look like a hippo by June/July! I really hope I have some really understanding friends up here and they don't make too much fun of me! Holy toledo - I will be so huge. But, I'm fine with huge and healthy!! Someone may need to remind me of that a few months from now! Otherwise, the baby is lookin' good! I have been battling a heck of a cold since last Monday. And, I'm definitely used to taking some good meds when sick, but not now! I have been trying to sleep it away. It seems to be getting some better -- just hope that continues. Thank goodness for an understanding husband!!

Otherwise, we are still working away on the nursery and trying to figure out everything we need! Who knew we should just buy the entire Babies R Us store and call it good? Geesh! Peanut is already spoiled...just like its brother Zeke! Zeke has also had a cold lately -- his little nose is just a runnin'! So, him and I have been cuddling on the couch! That has been the only good thing about being sick - I get Zeke time!

Brad starts fishing next week!! Are you kidding? He'll be headed down to Table Rock Lake in Missouri next week for a tournament on Sunday. Hard to believe it's already that time of year, but he is bouncing off the walls with excitement. I'm actually excited for him, too - who wouldn't want to do something fun after this winter? And, I'm happy because he doesn't have the drama/craziness of being in the club he used to. He's just going to fish what he can this year - what a guy!! You might have to remind me of this in June/July, too!! I will go crazy if I go into labor and he isn't here!! We'll see!! But, good luck to him next week!!

Well, I better get something done!! Oh, and by the way, little Peanut is now kicking up a storm! I could actually feel the kicks on the outside of my stomach in the middle of the night!! Love it! And, love you all!! Take care! Kari
