It's going to be big!

Today we had our 22 week appointment for Baby K. We have now switched to midwife only care because my scoliosis will not play any negative role in my pregnancy where a Dr. would be needed! Woo hoo!

Some stats:

My weight went up 8 lbs since our last appointment!!! WHAT? That's 2 lbs per week. I'd have to say, I followed the midwife's orders quite well.

My blood pressure is 90/60. This is in the low/normal range; so that is better than the too low range. (I'm giving credit to the large amounts of pb I've been consuming)

Baby K is growing very well. So well, that he/she is measuring 1.5 weeks bigger than normal! I'm growing one big baby. (fundal height 23.5cm)

Baby K's heartbeat was 140 bpm. Perfectly healthy.

My next appointment will involve the yummy glucose test, blood tests, and a meeting with the anesthesiologist.  We're doing the anesthesia appointment early (8 weeks early) because we can then prepare for other pain management techniques if my spinal fusion is blocking access for an epidural. My midwife suggested hypnosis, but I'm a little leery on that one.

We celebrated our good visit with a trip to Olive Garden. The new dinner tonight and dinner tomorrow option seemed great for us! We both enjoyed a delicious meal of ravioli , and we have a delicious meal awaiting us for tomorrow night! It's a really good deal, and the portions weren't any smaller than normal.

We picked up the new chair for Baby K's room, but I'll post pictures tomorrow. The camera is all the way upstairs, and I just don't have the energy after the brisk walk Tony and I just went on.

Happy Thursday (oh wait, it's Wednesday to the average person). Tomorrow is my Friday since there's no school on Friday for us! YAH!
