We went in for our five month check up this morning and all is looking fantastic! The baby's heartrate is in the 140s/150s and I'm still measuring a little behind (about a week and a half to two weeks). Dr. Saunders wasn't concerned by that at all because she can see that I'm getting bigger, just wide, not tall which is how fundal height is measured. That's sort of how I grew with Andrew, too. Funny.
I got to show Dr. Saunders our sonogram photos and she was really impressed wtih the quality. She said the shot between her legs was really good and that she is definitely a girl!!! Yay! She actually pointed out all of the details to me, and I have to admit, it's pretty clear!
Sweetpea is VERY strong...I am starting to actually see her kicks, and have been able to feel them much stronger. She's getting big enough now that I can pretty much see them even with my clothes on, if it's a tight fitting sweater or t-shirt. If she shifts her entire body, my entire belly shifts. Pretty amazing, really. I love it!
I also have almost everything we need for her room already. I've ordered her bedding, window shade, baskets and liners, rug, lighting and the letters to spell her name on the wall. There are still a few small decorative items I want to get but am trying to pace myself . Her closet is almost completely full already, and she's set with onesies, receiving blankets and sleepers for her first three months or so. I'm not going to buy anything else (if I can help myself!) until after she's born. I have found some of the cutest shoes, hats and outfits and just can't wait to see her in them!
After my appointment today I stopped upstairs to see Barb, my all time favorite Lactation Consultant. I told her to reserve some time for me in June (of course I won't turn the others away, but Barb knows me the best) and she was soooo excited! It's all becoming so much more real! I love it!
