We went to the doctor early this morning for our monthly checkup and I have actually lost weight this month. She's not too worried about it... yet. All of the blood work from last month came back and looked great! What a relief. They took more blood today so hopefully this round will yield the same results. When the nurse came into the room to check our little baby's heartbeat she said something to the effect of, "Oh! There's 2 in there?"
I think we both panicked for a split second. "n-n-no, just the one. She told us s-she double-checked..." was all I could muster. "Oh, ok, your heartbeat is just really loud, then!" Really? Don't scare me like that. Don't get me wrong, twins would be quite a blessing- and with K being a triplet- quite a possibility. I just wasn't prepared for that kind of surprise. I don't like surprises at all, much less one of that caliber. I thought of questions to ask my doctor this time, so I wouldn't harass the nurse in the 4 weeks between appointments. I was proud of myself for being prepared. Then I forgot. All of them. Thankfully K would prompt me "Hey babe, what about..." Oh Yeah! Then my doctor laughed at me and said that I had finally gotten "pregnant brain". Great. I already have no sense of balance. Is that normal? I have heard of pregnant women becoming clumsy- but not with their balance. I have, several times, been walking a straight line down the hall at work and then, like someone pushed me, ran into the wall. WHAT WAS THAT? Annnnd laugh at myself. Then pout a little.
This week my little avocado is, well, the size of an avocado. (Wow, Natalie, creative.)
That looks pretty big, right?
24 Days. 24 days until we go back to the doctor and find out if baby guff is a baby boy guff or a baby girl guff! It is taking all I am not to go buy one of those over the counter gender tests! This weekend has been declared "Baby Saturday" in our house. We are going shopping for the nursery!!! We have kind of picked out our furniture online, but are going to check it out in person and bring it home. LOVE. It is going to make it crazy real. My mom will be in town the weekend we find out the gender (for Mae's wedding) so that Sunday will be a Forsyth Fabric day. My mouth literally just watered as I wrote that.
I feel like there's so much I want to talk about, but I am tired and hungry. Wah. I'm calling it quits.
Until Next Time,
The Guff
I hear you on the balance thing--when I was pregnant with Pixie, I had to buy one of those grippy mats for the tub because every time I tipped my head back to rinse my hair in the shower I was scared I'd fall over.
ReplyDeleteI love you!
I lost weight with Mary Grace due to all the morning sickness. Usually they don't worry to much about it unless you start loosing like a ton. Although at one point I did have to go get fluids because I was so dehydrated from all the vomiting. Anyway, can't wait to hear what baby guff is!!
ReplyDeleteWhoah to two! I laughed out loud reading... Yay for Avocado-Guffey this week! Love you lots and can't wait to know what it is!
