Tess is weighing about 14 ounces, which the doctor says is on the light side of average (hoping she is a smaller baby like her father). Nate was 6.5 pounds when born and I was about 8.5 so maybe I'll get lucky and she'll have his smaller build and hit growth spurts later on LOL.
Doc says her heart is phenomenal and she's moving around like crazy in there!!! Heart beat was 143 during the ultrasound and then bumped up to 153 once we got down to the prenatal check up an hour later. She gets really active and excited from all the poking and prodding lol. She's quite playful and full of energy already. They say I'm right on track for an October 1st delivery date, so everything is matching up nicely.
They said she's nice and healthy and I'm doing very well also. I'm up a few pounds from 163 to 165 so I'm gaining weight at a very healthy rate. My vitamin/mineral levels in my blood are doing great as well. They still want to send me for my 3 hour screening for gestational diabetes except they might cut it down from 100 to 75 ml (i think it is) and monitor for 2 hours instead of 3. Apparently, the doctor said that this has much more solid facts proving it to be a better strategy.
They set me up for a follow up appointment in August (since I'm around a lot for second hand smoke and such from the coffee shop), just to make sure everything is progressing nicely. Which I'm perfectly ok with... that simply means more baby ultrasounds for us!!!
