August Pregnancy Update

This morning I had my monthly check up with the doc. We heard the heart beat – which sounded perfect and lovely and the doc reported that all my blood-lab work has come back with great results. She’s happy with my weight gain (few pounds), and the height of the fundus (top of the uterus), and my blood pressure. My morning sickness has passed for the most part – which is a major relief to both Kris and me. Last night, I actually helped make a homemade pesto sauce which is significant because it’s really the first time I’ve helped in the kitchen in months! As for exercise, I continue to be a bit lazy and haven’t walked as much as I should. Although it’s a poor excuse, I’m sure the heat has played a major factor in this decision- but I will be going to my second pre-natal yoga class tomorrow – so that’s something! Kris will join me for the next appointment in a couple weeks, as it’s at a lab to get our next ultra-sound exam. At that appointment, we’ll get a better update on the baby’s size and how the baby, placenta, and umbilical cord are positioned. Plus, it’s typically a chance to find out the baby’s sex, but we’re still planning to be surprised! Our fingers are crossed that the tech doesn’t spill the beans…
