Checkup.

Yesterday we went for a checkup, just because we're going to the states next Friday (already!)... the purpose of the trip is to get as much baby stuff possible... i've been reviewing online products, so actually testing them to figure out what's best is next. Then Amy will help ship them back which is super helpful.

so anyhow, apparently we've gained like 6lbs in the past month!! that's a lot! it seems, so total of about 15lbs now since you were just a tiny egg back in February. the books say we're supposed to gain a pound a week now, so with ~16 weeks to go, that means we'll end up a little over the 30lb mark. hopefully though it will be around 28 since dr. tsai says i should eat less carbs... more veggies. yesterday was 24w + 0 days. your head measured 21w + 2 days (small) but then your leg measured 23w+5days! so that means you're tall. :) i hope you will be... about 5'8" when you grow up!! i hope you will be lots of good things... but first, happy and healthy, and beautiful. :) i was really happy though, to hear dr say you were tall. exciting!!

so maybe you'll be a little later, perhaps later in november... around thanksgiving. of course we would be very thankful regardless of what day you decide to meet us.

xxooooooooooooo

buttons schmuttons.

i must unbutton the top two buttons (of 4) when sitting down in my size 27 madewell bf jeans.

things are going well... we haven't made our next appt to see the dr again since the 6th, but probably need to go either tmrw or early next week. I believe the glucose test is coming up too... i hope you are doing okay in there little baby!! Work for me has unfortunately been stressful, and business is not seemingly going in a good position (at the moment). It seems that things are slowly breaking down, and it's tough b/c it's difficult to manage. frustration and irritation, but hopefully you realize how to cope, and it's really part of life, these "fun" things... i hope you're okay though!! remember, be tough, stay strong... everything will pass and we just need to keep our heads above the water to higher ground. :)

think positive, stay happy, stay healthy and smile. oh. and breathe (well, maybe for you that last part is for later). :)
