Doctor appointment

I had my bi-weekly doctor checkup today, and everything still looks great. The baby is progressing well, and I am not having any complications. The baby's heartrate was 145 bpm and measuring right on target.

Doctor's appointment

I had my check up today, and everything still looks great. The baby's heart rate was 145 bpm. He has turned, so his head is down. Hopefully he is getting ready to make his entrance, and he will stay in this position. My doctor warned me to slow it down. My ankles and hands are swelling due to my overactive schedule. I was told to chill out and start taking it easy. I find that it is easier said than done. I still have a list of things I have to get done before he is born..... and work .... and clean house .... and laundry .... and do dishes .... and get my tires rotated .... and ....

Third trimester!

I can't believe we have made it this far along already. I went to the doctor this week and everything is progressing right on schedule. I am now entering my third and final trimester. I can't stop thinking about how quick it has gone by, and how we will soon have a precious little boy. It is starting to hit me that I am not prepared, and I sometimes get a little panic attitude. The furniture is not here, the nursery isn't painted, we haven't packed for the hospital, we haven't decided on a name, and on and on. John Chris is really great about stopping my worries and reminding me that everything will come together.

We are so very fortunate that we have not had any health issues or problems come up along the way. We are excited to meet Baby Allison!

2nd trimester!

We have reached the 2nd trimester. 14 weeks today! I went to the doctor for a check up and everything looks great. I was able to hear the heartbeat again (160 beats per minute). It is a really amazing sound, and it quickly reminds me how remarkable this experience is. We will keep you updated as things progress.
