Last Wednesday, Tate and I went to the Perinatal clinic in the Cities to check out our little peanut and to get all of the baby's measurements. I am extremely happy to report that our baby is measuring out perfectly and all of her/his little fingers and toes are accounted for. :) We decided to not find out the sex of the baby at the appointment. Instead, we had our doctor write the sex of the baby down on a card and she sealed it shut. We were planning on opening the card on Christmas morning but we started to have second thoughts and at this time, we have decided to wait. I am not sure if Mommy here will be able to last for 5 more months not knowing if we are having a boy or a girl so I may have some serious negotiating to do with daddy. But, the most important thing is to know our baby is healthy and growing perfectly. The baby already weighs over 12 oz and is measuring a day a head of schedule. :) I feel the baby move all the time now so hopefully Daddy will get a chance to feel the baby kick soon as well.
The only issues I have been having is the return of my dreaded acid reflux. The past few days (starting Christmas Eve) I have been getting sick and not able to keep my food down. So, I am having to be pretty darn strict on my diet and keeping a bottle of Tums close to me at all times. It's a small price to pay for being able to carry such a precious little peanut with me. Only 5 more months to go! :)
Ava knows exactly where the baby is at now and kisses my tummy goodnight. She is the sweetest little girl in the world. She also kisses Elmo in her book after we are done reading it and it's time for bed. :) I love watching her play with her dolls and taking care of them. She changes their poopy diapers, gives them bottles and even puts them in time-outs when they are naughty. :) She is going to be the BEST big sister ever and I feel so very blessed!
