Bobby and I went for another check up on our little bebe on Friday. As always, it was everything but boring with Bobby and Dr. B in the same room. Everything is going great with the babe and we got to see him/her thrusting and rolling around. Here's a quick little video with Bobby and Dr. B doing their usual song and dance :)
When Bobby wasn't looking, Dr. B kept trying to check between the legs. I don't know what he thinks he might have seen, but I think after our mishap with Jordan - Dr. B told us at 12 weeks that she was a boy - we're not even willing to listen to predictions for another few weeks. We go back on the 23rd and I think we might check at that point. I'll be 15w4d, so it could still be too early, but as always, it is just a blessing that our new little one is growing, moving, and thriving away in my belly!
I've seen a considerable difference over the past few weeks and haven't had any of my morning ickiness or dry heaving. As you know from my weekly surveys, I'm still eating like crazy it seems. I still struggle to keep my water intake up to avoid any headaches, but it's been better the past few days. Most of all, I think I feel better on a whole if I keep myself busy and active. My gym time has been great for a few weeks now, going in on my lunch and then getting an extra little workout in at night in the garage after Jordan goes to bed. I did have some gnarly round ligament pain on Friday night that almost brought me to tears. I don't remember it ever being so bad when I was pregnant with Jordan, but it went away after about 10 minutes and I think it freaked me out more than anything. You'd think the second time around would be so much easier, but it's not. Maybe I'm just tainted from suffering a loss, I don't know.
Yesterday, Bobby, Jordan, and I took a trip into Encinitas to check out the new Buy Buy Baby store that just opened. This store is going to be dangerous with another little one on the way. The best part.....they accept Bed Bath and Beyond coupons as long as they have not expired!! So long Babies R Us. Anyway, my main reason for going was to check out the stroller that has been recommended to me and that I have since been drooling over. The price tag is a jaw dropper, but I have heard nothing but good things about it and it will essentially last us through our ever growing family. Check out this bad boy. I think we also came to a decision on which room to turn into the nursery - the office. It shares a wall with our bathroom, so I have a major concern about noise if the baby is sleeping and we're doing our normal morning routine before work. We did a little experiment and tested out flushing the toilet, running the water, and shutting cabinets while one of us was in the office listening. You can definitely hear it, but once we turn the fan on, it's barely noticeable. As it is today, we tun the fan on in J's room every time we put her to sleep so that it drowns out any noise from the house. We'll just have to do the same for this little one. Other than that, I think we may end up breaking down and finally buying a gate for the bottom of the stairs today. We've been using the ottomans to block them for now and it's just becoming more of a hassle than it's worth. Especially knowing we're going to be going through this struggle again with #2. We checked them out at BBB yesterday and found one that should fit, but we still have money on some giftcards to BRU, so I'm hoping they have the same one there. I think that's about it on baby stuff. Jordan hits the 16 month mark on Wednesday and I have major intentions of posting an update on her latest developments.
